Shutterstock.com / Re: Shutterstock Termination
« on: June 03, 2016, 03:19 »
I think I have a pretty good idea why his/her account was terminated.

I don't think he was stealing from other contributors at all. I think he took public domain images and sold them on SS. My guess is that he took a NASA image(s) and tried to make money off of it. Yeah, a lot of people do it, but that doesn't make it right. Those contributors will eventually face the wrath of SS.

When you try to sell what doesn't belong to you, you're playing Russian roulette with your account.

Maybe, but most of the images, you can find on the internet are not big enough, they don't have at least 3000px on the longest size....

So, why did they terminate your account? What's wrong with that image?

I guess they really sped up their review process. I finally have my images from 3rd of April reviewed.

Only 3 images per week are offered for free, not every image that is accepted to free section. So, there is only small chance that you are giving our work "for free".

1156
It's funny but since I started with this stock stuff, I just hate Saturdays and Sundays and Holidays.

1157
So I just got this message on my contributor main page.

Congrats! You've had your first content approved and it's live on the Shutterstock site. Now go ahead and upload some more images or videos!

Anyone else seen this? What is that supossed to mean?

This is just ridiculous. You wanna do stock and don't even know the basics of photography.

1159
So, what does this have to do with a cow and property release?

1160
No, I have the opposite of your.

So true. I sold this one http://www.bigstockphoto.com/image-63808306/ as an EL on Bigstock, for example.

What I don't understand is this:

For example, customer spends 10$, for that money he/she can make (I'm assuming) 10 designs. From that 10$ 35% (3,5$) gets contributor, Canva keeps 6,5$. So does that mean, that a buyer must buy all 10 photos from contributor that got payed 3,5$. And if not, how are other contributors paid from that 10$?

Existing model (one time use license):

A customer makes a design. He can use as many images he wants in his design. For each image he has to pay $1, the respective contributor gets $0,35.
The customer only receives the finished design and can't re-use any of the images in another design.

New model (RF license):

A customer can buy a RF license for a specific image for $10 (contributor receives $3,5). The customer now can use this image in as many designs he wants (and combine it with other images he buys with either the one time use license or another RF license).

In both cases the customer only ever receives the finished designs, never the image file itself, so the images cannot be used outside of Canva.

That's how I understand it.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

Don't waste your time with flowers. You will not sell any.

How many uses gets the customer for that 10$?

Yeah, you had 13 sales.

1167
As stated above, if there is an ear tag visible, agencies will reject it. And I know that because I got a case like that. After I removed tag, it was OK.

1168
You'll be down only 400 sales? How many sales have you per month then, 5000?

The rest....

Yeah, but the argument was, that you can kiss goodbye to credit sales, and we will see only subs after DPC launched. Obviously that was not the case, at least for me. I'm getting more money on FT than on SS and I sell less photos.

And it's actually the other way around. With SS you get mostly subs and now and then SODs and ODDs. With fotolia, even if you get only subs, they can range from 0.29$ to 5$+. Just yesterday I had a sub sale with 6.20 comission....

And I was told that DPC was disaster for contributors and their sales and earnings....

Yeah, my sales are also kind of low for the last week or so. I mean, I have daily sales, just not as much as usual.

I got images pending from April 3rd.

I don't understand, why some people care so much for Poll results. It's your sales that matter, not anybody else's.

Anyway, nice to hear, buyers dumped them.
