Title: Check your earnings (surprise).
Post by: BigBubba on June 11, 2020, 02:57
Nothing in 10 days, generally super low sales recently but that’s an entire issue by itself.

Checked my earnings today after a call from another contributor telling me a block of random sales showed up with no emails.

And bam ! 10 sales.
So...check your sales.
10 random sales at once, no notification and after a long dry period.

A bit strange.

12 new sales... nice! I'm assuming they're sales through some kind of partner site or something, and they get reported in chunks rather than every day.

Same happened to me. After your post I checked P5 and saw 6 sales yesterday. Very nice surprise :-)
Just this morning I finally transfered all my editorial footage portfolio to P5 exclusive, deleting it all from Shutterstock. Hope they keep growing and mantain respect to contributors.

No, it's not strange. :)

Those are Global Partner Program sales (GPP), which are paid out around twice per year. So those are sales from the last six months or so.

Last GPP payout was in November, and the one before that in April of 2019. So, it's not entirely predictable when.

Before, we just got a GPP lump sum - this is the first time we see exactly what we sold. Maybe that's why the report was a bit delayed?

We also seem to have gotten an LLP payout.

Thanks - we just picked up quite a few sales, including one for $76 in commission.

Anyone else get an email from Pond5 saying "You have earnings from the Global Partner Program, go check them out" but there is nothing showing in dashboard?

Nevermind, had to check the details of a sale that I got DAYS before the email and its license is listed as GPP.

The email that came empty today was about the sales reported with no email on June 10th.   I think...
