It seems that SS is trying to make P5 less competitive in a long run. 

Even though I am at Level 3, most of my SS sales are at 0.25(clip pack). How many clip pack sales that I will have to make in order to get the earning for one sale at P5? Go figure.

This email does not explain how my exclusive contents are priced in SS. That question must be addressed directly.

Per the email P5 Exclusives obtain a regular SS contributor account -

Then P5's email states:  "Shutterstock contributors will earn royalties for Shutterstock sales according to their regular terms and payout schedules."

There's no extra royalty for P5 exclusive content on SS.

Good to know!

53
I appreciate the option to choose, but I am doing exactly the opposite. Not only I don't and will not submit my exclusive contents to SS, I also try not to upload the same non-exclusive contents to P5 and SS.

Why? P5 will not pay you the price of your choice, if the same content is selling elsewhere with lower price.

Does anyone know how to contact Adobe?

Does anyone know how long it takes to see the payment after Adobe shows "Transaction Completed" from their website?

Still no payment today.

I recommend you contact your payment provider first to make sure that your account is in good working order. If there is a problem with your payment provider account, the payment will likely be rejected and added back into your contributor account balance. You'll need to resolve any issues with your payment provider account and then re-submit a new payment request.

Thanks,

Mat

Hi Mat,

Thanks for your attention. The payment arrived this afternoon.

There is no issues with my account providers as I receive payments often from various agencies. It looks like that it will need 3 days to reach the payment provider.

I know, Getty always sends an email a couple of days ahead and pays before the 25th. Unlike Getty where I get paid every month, I don't get paid every month by Adobe.

I made the request to Adobe last week. The previous payment was not an issue. My only worry is that my account is breached or not.

Thanks for the reply.

Do you mean that I contact Payoneer?

I would think that I should contact Adobe to check where they send the payment. But how?

From the website, the payment was complete yesterday.

But it has not arrived yet. I hope my account is not compromised.

I can't find a way to contact Adobe support. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Not too good, but slightly better than last month.

I have just opted out my exclusive contents. Too bad I did not know the option earlier.

62
Mat, what if I use AI to transform my original image?

Will it be considered as AI or original image?

63
The link to Adobe doesn't work.

I thought non-exclusive footages were offered through Getty Images, no?

I have sold more than 10 footages through SS, but the total earning is still below $5, most sales are 0.25.

Gotcha! But I still don't regret leaving Storyblocks and don't contribute to others.

I wonder if the unlimited subscription sites will, in the long run, compromise my earnings from P5, Adobe, GI, SS and so on.

Envato Elements, Motion Array, Artgrid, Storyblocks... and a few smaller sites.

Thanks for the reply. Glad I am not with any of these.  ;)

Hehe, SpaceStockFootage said in another thread that more than half of his earnings comes from video subscription sites (Mostly Envato Elements and Storyblocks). I started uploading to Storyblocks 3 months ago and the estimated earnings for this month are 1/3 of my total earnings. My portfolio at Storyblocks is 1/6 of SS, but it looks like I will earn more at Storyblocks this month...

And for the unlimited subscription sites, somewhere from around a fraction of a cent, to about $16.50... hut heavily weighted towards the former.

Which sites are offering unlimited subscription?

Looking at January numbers, the lowest video sale at SS was 1$.

Edit: Lowest sale at level 1 was 1.05$, but I have several sales of 1$ at level 2.

All my level 1 sub sales were at 0.25, now I am at level 2, haven't had any sales yet.

I hope to know the lowest sub sales from other sites such as GI, Adobe and P5 non-exclusive. I could be wrong, but it seems that SS has the lowest sub price. Is it correct?

My lowest video royalties from
Shutterstock - $0.25 (in any level)
Getty Images - $0.06
Adobe Stock - $2.38
Pond5 - $1.92 (non exclusive)
Dreamstime - $ 3.14
Depositphotos - $2.70

Thanks! Good to know.

I know SS pays $0.25 for video subs at level 1.

How much do other sites pay?

Thanks.

Lowish sales, better RPD, best Jan since 2019, which I guess is something.  ::)

Interesting that you said that! Sounds similar in my case.

73
Are there still video sites which don't offer subscription?

74
Ok month for December.

Got mine too.

One positive thing about GI is that it will actually pay earlier than the date it promised, which is on the 25th of the month.
