What a shame

Saw this post on FB shuttterstock worldwide contributors, legit author.

I didn't get any, wondering if this is a broader thing.

Just to show, SS don't care about how big you are! If you violate Terms of service...you're in trouble.

I feel bad for Pat and BB (not getting into weather BB is the place to go to or not)
The guy tries his best to run a clean operation.

I'm also glad to see that SS takes things very professionally. 900K clips, gone, I think it's temporary.

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.

Hi,
8 days into May and it's a whole new world of nothing for me. It's not too early to call because my clear bar is a minimum 100$ in sales every day on SS Alone, including weekends and holidays. I'm aware of the new sub model and understand the impact on my earnings. But what I don't understand is the massive Drop in number of sales, it's like everything stopped.
During Covid19 March and April sales kept coming and I assumed that with the new sub plan my earnings will take a hit but not my downloads and definitely not that bad.

I'm on Stockperformer and I can tell that the entire market is taking a hit because even with my super low numbers my ranking is still in the top 25%, I learned to trust Stockperformer because even in my Best months I was still ranked at 82% meaning bigger earners were with me.

So what's going on? Is it because of Covid-19 slowdown? People are just not buying? Lack of budget?
Algorithm changes wouldn't pull everyone on Stockperformer down (the way I see it).

I would love to hear your thoughts about it, am I missing something?

I am seeing very low numbers in SS P5 and AS.
With 11K clips, 7K photos and on full income for years but this January (half way) looks very low.

Apologies, deleted.

For the past five years, we've been hard at work trying to marry the needs of our members and contributors with the Marketplace. Our vision was simple: contributors get 100% of what they earn, and our members get great content at a fair price.

But for our members, this was anything but simple. Understanding what did and didn't come with their subscription was complicated. It restricted their ability to play freely within projects, and we received overwhelming feedback that the Marketplace wasn't for them. At the same time, we tried balancing the needs of contributors with price increases and Marketplace visibility improvements.

We knew we could do better.

That's why Storyblocks is proud to announce the launch of the Member Library Partner Program! It's easy to understand. It's unrestrictive. And it's all in support of the Storyblocks mission: Helping a new generation of independent creatives to create more moving stories. It's a great way for contributors to reach a new market of storytellers full of YouTube creators, freelance editors, and hobbyists. And it's an opportunity for our members to tell their stories without a big Hollywood production budget.

What is the Member Library Partner Program? Instead of paying for clips a la carte in the Marketplace, our members pay for a subscription to access content in our Member Library. We then create a Member Library Earnings pool, which we divide among all contributors who participate in the program based on how much of their content is downloaded.

You can learn more about how the Member Library Earnings pool is calculated here.

Over the past eight months, we've been piloting the Partner Program and have proven that it can work for everyone: contributors, members and Storyblocks! Contributors on average are making 3x the amount that they ever earned through the Marketplace, and over 90% have chosen to stay in the Pilot Program.

The best part? Anyone can apply to join, there's no commitment period, and your content remains non-exclusive so you can keep earning everywhere else you distribute content. If you try the Partner Program and aren't happy with your earnings, you can leave anytime. It's your content, and you should be able to earn any way you can.

Starting today, our focus will be the Partner Program and we want you to share in its success! To learn more and apply, check out the details on our site.

Am I missing something? It won't copy the keywords from the suggestion tool + I can't paste keywords from a word file...not on Safari and not on Chrome:

Any help would be much appreciated.

Can't find it...and they force a lot of my clips as Editorials while they are super commercial in all the other sites.

Any idea what's going on?

For the past 2 months, not a single sale on P5. I understand the holiday season and all that, but zero clips? They are all "online", 1200 clips and priced hd-60 and 4K - 120 or so.

Any thoughts?

Thinking of uploading with links to my portfolio in the discription...Smart? Dumb?

Got one orange bar, reported in my August sales. Used to get them only via pp or 360 or I don't know how.

Isn't it only for exclusive?

Got an email from SS stating that no action from my side is required

Anyone else?

I NEVER ever spam my titles.
Could it be due to the fact that I changed a few of my editorial captions to "Circa, Circa...." For files I did not know the correct location of? (Knew the country but not the city).

If this is a bad thing or spamming, I ask the forgiveness of my fellow contributors.

Please help me out with this, I hate spammers! Don't like being considered as one.

I made 4.58$ this month!!!
The other sites gave me Hundreds of dollars and up to 1200...but hey, 4.58 from DT.  That's a cup of coffee to drink while I'm counting the money from the other sites.

Been getting notifications for files that were accepted and rejected a year+ ago.
Anyone else seeing this?

I'm happy with fotolia. Somehow this month my sales tanked... From 20-30 sales a day and a couple hundred dollars a month, I'm now at 0-4 sales a day and will be lucky to get 100$ (including videos) at the end of May. Is it my turn to be on the poor side of the search or what?

3years ago and today...same earnings.


Why?

Yeah...SS will make me rich!


Why?

So, I went to the post office today, and while waiting I noticed a stack of pamphlets with my stock photo...I asked the guy that works there and he said its in every branch. I never had an EL for this photo...is this an EL kind of thing or a normal sub covers it?


Why?

Hi, 24 hours after the review...they are still not in my catalog. Anyone else seeing this?

All of my work in the past two months, all of it, every single photo on every single batch got rejected. 

Ss approved, ft,dt...good for them.

1800 live photos on alamy, random sales.

The last rejection was a batch of 6 files and the rejection was for "number of images".

I used to get them ALL approved.

What's going on?

Is it working for you?

Trading at 28.48 (EL price+sub+15cents) per stock.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, the payment status showed they were supposed to pay me by October 15th....and now that the date passed it was pushed to November 15th.  No emails about tax issues or anything like that.

Any idea what's going on?

Sales are ok, subs keep coming, a couple of videos each month and even OD/SOD ranging from 7-56$.  But I didn't get a 28classic EL for 6 months!!!

Any thoughts? Ideas?

I don't get it...what are the chances that 3 different buyers will look for a "Turkish delight" file, choose mine...the same pose and buy it in 5 minutes at 3 different agencies?

Any idea?

I use both new and old apps but for a couple of days the old one is not working (iPhone 5s).

Anyone else?

I love the old app!!!

I thought they never happen.
Can someone help me out and explain why and in what ways can an Editorial EL be used?

Thank you and enjoy your weekend.

Had a sale for 0.39 but an hour later the daily statistics showed -0.09... 

Any idea how and why?

Hi, I found one of my vectors which was only downloaded via SS in a you tube video. Is that allowed by the terms?

Thank you.
