jazz42, you actually need a property release for that image. bigstock was right to reject it without one

Justanotherphotographer, perception of value, its what the buyer thinks the image is worth, they dont care about your cost. photographers are not renowned for their business acumen.

vectors are completely different as you can size them anyway you want
images for a blog dont need to be bigger than 1000x1000, no blog uses the full resolutiuon of a wide screen monitor

by forcing one price for all sizes you are forcing us to lower our price. perception of value. buyers dont like to pay for something they don't need

GL you have to ask yourself who thinks one pricing for all images is positive? hobby shooters or seasoned pros? since you are new to the business you have no experience in what works best.

guys the email says that all downloads were doubled so the amount in the email is the amount they take back

depending how far from the coast you are. part of the sea along the coast line belong to a country, get further out and its nomansland or nomanswater

did you do any research about size offering? or are you just changing things and hope for the best?

chasing away buyers adds up to nothing

its all guesswork, no one knows exactly and trying to figure it out is a waste of time, ss has said its not straight forward, its a mix of downloads, file age, views, and a lot more. better spend time on creating new images

why ask a bunch of strangers and on a forum instead of emailing p5, that would be the safest option

i think so too, a company making tens of millions profit has no idea

marianne, if you make 700 dollar a month with 400 images on SS you do extremely well (especially for a portfolio with mainly backgrounds and landscapes)

embermike, sorry for being so negative, but you agree that lowering prices and giving away images for free is good news?
remember jon from shutterstock, he spoke to contributors too in the beginning, remember lee from canva, he spoke here too in the beginning, remember mat from adobe, he spoke here too in the beginning, etcetera. of course they talk to us now, because they need us, at some point that will stop too
i WANT GL to succeed, nothing bad about the previous owners, but we've heard the same thing over and over again,
anyway, carry on, i wish the new owners all the success in the world and lots of fortune, and may we all benefit from it,

good point, i was struggling with that as well, haha

forgive me my kindhearted comments, we have been here many times before, seen many promises. just mind the pitfalls, good to have proper marketing, but if you dont know the stockworld, you are in for a big let down, and with that, us too, because soon will realize you have to lower your cost to be solvent, cut prices to be competitive and you'll stop communicating because you get tired of the abuse

why in Gods name use a light tent?! you spend your whole day cleaning up images in post, invest in proper equipment, you'll end up wasting money on crap like light tents

you seem to be wet behind the ears if you didnt take my comment as sarcasm, were sick and tired to see images be sold for less and less and pushing out free images gives the wrong impression to buyers. attracting buyers with free images is the wrong approach, once they have something for free they dont want to start paying for it. if you had been connected to the stock world you would have known that earnings for contributors are coming down all over the place, images are getting cheaper by the day, and people have stopped investing in high value shoots for microstock. its not worth it, stop giving our work away for free, change the buyer mindset, images are valuable and expensive and time consuming to make, you are devaluing our assets by lowering the prices and giving them away
edit: GL - you deleted part of your comment where you said you would be pushing out more images for free

competing on price, pushing out free images, stuff contributors love to hear these days,
