No, the minimum is 0.25. Don't know if they have levels but sales are very poor to me.

I use to have problems to submit when I send a lot of pictures (rejections for "file transfer error") and rejections with the same program that SS uses with stupid reasons.

LOL, yeah, even worse in some ways. (until now) If they had kept the bridge, I would have stayed with BS, just for whatever fell on me and the easy adding of photos, because I could upload once and forget about them. BS used to pay 50c minimum per download before the company was sold.



"New York, September 23, 2009 Shutterstock, the worlds largest subscription-based stock photo agency, announced that it has acquired BigStockPhoto, a leading credit-based stock photo agency, headquartered in Davis, California. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed."

Note: I didn't think of this until after I posted it. 25 is more than 10 ?

When the review problems started, I stopped uploading there. After the 0.10 stopped SS too.

I can sell for peanuts in IS if I want with 0 problems with my pictures. In fact, my rpd is higher there now, because almost all my pictures are selling under the 0.25 in SS.

Maybe AS or AL will work for me in the future, don't now. Not now.

And why the boycott? I have about 100 photos there, I sometimes get royalties. There have never been any problems.

Have you done a google reverse image search for your photos?  You may be surprised to see them in use in more places than your royalties can account for.

You talking about Dreamstime or Deposit Photos?

What? I have seen my Deposit files in other places but linked to Deposit.

Spain.
Yes, I have seen them. There are a lot of them, there is a very famous one who has a very long beard and he spends his time traveling all over the world depending on why he sells stocks and pays them for travel. I speak spanish, i'm from Venezuela.

But anothers youtubers from Spain clearly said that uploading photos to Freepik and Shutterstock is no longer worth it.

Victims are naive people who want to get started in microstock. They act like "Wall Street Wolf".

Hola.

I have started two years ago, not in freepik obviously, and I can't see how you can start in this and make some decent money. I'm not a pro anyway, started trying to improve mi skills and make some cash for equipment... but now...
For selling for peanuts don't know what to do.

In my country there are youtubers telling how they make a lot of money in freepik or stocksy. They are pro with expensive stuff, studios and people working for them. You can see that they are able to spend a lot of money in production.

Looks like a pyramidal scam, I don't understand why they are telling this.

If I have understood the answers, the old files when you become exclusive don't change their status. So they sell for a lower prize than the exclusive ones  :o :o :o

When the new ones become exclusive their old pictures become exclusive too? Or are just the new ones?

ok, AI or human?  SS reviews today (minutes after submitting)

1. a shoot of closeups or orange and yellow nasturtiums: several orange rejected for lack of editorial caption, all other oranges and all yellows accepted
2. macro of a yellowjacket and of a fern both rejected for lack of property release

Computers are stupid. Even more than Oringer.

If they pay 0.05 for each picture to the reviewer, then there are no humans involved when the program runs. Seems to be automatic.

5 cents? :o :o :o

Do they have applications on the web or what? Never have seen them. How people become reviewers? ?

We all knew that.

Since when?



Since all my 50 images were reviewed in 1 second with the same program that they use on BS.

I used to resubmit everything before the 0.10. A lot of wasted time.
