they can release all features they want, if the buyers are not using their site, nothing will change, the most important part that will help spike sales is marketing, marketing, marketing, and marketing, etc etc etc etc
their site doesnt even have tumbleweed, thats how much nothing happens

we're talking about streaming a photo, right? this is a photo displayed somewhere for a short period of time? its like spotify, royalties are low as well because it is just streaming music, there is no physical download. is there any information on the earnings sheet how long an image was streamed?

i scraped bme, but 85% of my earnings happened in the first 12 days, the other 15% of the earnings took 18 days. absolute car crash, not complaining i made bme, but had the rate of the first 12 days continued then i would probably have doubled my bme. they tweaked the search in the first part of the month which benefited me, and then it was switched off again. probably a test or something. i remember an old thread where people came in happy reporting a spike in earnings and ss came in and said it was a mistake, an algorithm went live that wasnt supposed to go live, so there you go.

i used to sell about 300 dollar per month, until the bottom fell out and my last sale was november 2016, pretty depressing and i cant stand their management, obnoxious and arrogant seem to be flattering them

you need to claim the 30% tax back in your own country when filling in your tax form. like any other tax paid, its deductible from your revenue.

to me it sounds the client wants an extra layer of security, which might be an internal requirement, which is not uncommon. but only ss can answer regarding legitimacy of the email

Congrats! That is very good news to hear.
In a recent thread there were conspiracies of "capped earnings" - when you reach a certain point they turn your port off.
Let us know how the rest of your June goes so we can help prove or disprove these theories  Will sales keep going great or fall off the cliff.
I think people carrying on believing what they want to believe.....good sales = "I'm a brilliant photographer" bad sales= "SS have a vendetta against experienced/high earning/American/new content"
i think i just go by my experience and data. if you think otherwise, show me my comments where i claim to be brilliant or claim an ss vendetta. mr cynic.

the only one who can confirm that this is legit is shutterstock

in the last 3 months my sales declined to about 50-60% of what i consider a normal month. i already made more in june, than i did in each of the 3 previous months individually. the only reason i can think of is a change in the search results. unless june falls of a cliff and completely halts, i will have a BME. fingers crossed. knock wood. etc

ss for me has no rhyme or reason, from the first day of june my sales have been back to normal and then some, the number of dls is still low, but the number of ELs and big SODs have dramatically increased. i have already made what i normally would make in a normal month and we are not even half way. if this continues i will double my BME. which is just plain weird. not complaining at all, just think they must have flicked a switch again

its rude to use capitals in a forum, it means you are shouting

I lost the money  without receive an email !!!
of course, there not a chance in hell that ss would have sold an image for 18,000 dollar, no way

there were national holidays across europe last week and this week, so sales could have slowed down
however, it has to be said, i made pay out in the first day of june and doubled my earnings on the 2nd day, had an EL over the weekend, and then everything fell of a cliff again, lol. back to 10 dollar days

i am not surprised, you can overhaul your site and make it the best * thing since sliced bread, but without buyers its futile, marketing is key, if you want grow, you need to spend 10% of your revenue on marketing. the problem is of course is 10% of peanuts is even less peanuts

the reviews on glassdoor are quite damaging to be honest. reading those experiences from the developers is a sad affair. 12 hour days, dog eat dog world, inept managers, and backstabbing culture. no thanks
