So, I uploaded two videos to SS. I don't expect any sales but anyway. What I want to know
how much does one get for video sale. I know it depends on resolution, so, whats the minimum you can get, what's the max. you can get, and what is the most common you get?
Also, do you upload 4k or HD?

When will my images be updated?
We are updating the entire Shutterstock collection gradually. Your existing images may not all be processed at the same time.
How specifically is this new watermark providing enhanced protection?
The new watermark is slightly different on each image, and will credit contributors in the design.
Because the watermark on each image is unique, it helps protect against potential attempts to develop technologies that remove watermarks at large scale.

I don't think there is any difference if you have keywords with comma or not, for example "red, potato" or "red potato" and buyer searches for "red potato"

EDIT: Ok, I see it.

If you have 10 days without a single sale, you should re-evaluate your images first, instead of trying to come up with some conspiracy theroies.
I have seen the figures you posted about your sales at SS and I sell over 10 times more than you.
And anyway I am not complaining at all: SS is by miles my best earner, I keep doing BME there constantly.
I don't call it conspiracy at all. They certainly manipulate the algorithm constantly, but I am very happy they do it and they do it really well, that is way they are number one
I have a good 1100 images and I have maybe 1 zero/day per month and its usually saturday or sunday. And my images arent very commercial or great. Ok, now I remembered, you mostly have video, right? Thats a different story....sory for that

You shoud remove unsharp, noise and similar photos. Then you'll be left with a few thousand images, it will be much easier then.

Hey all,
Do you also get a feeling of excitement in anticipation of seeing your "single & other" download in your earnings summary tab. Usually it's only a few nickels above a standard sub but I'm always hoping it's a $80+ download...it feels kinda like playing a scratch card lottery 
I do, unfortunately, all SOD-s lately are less than 1$

The OP didn't answer what camera he was using. The only time I got rejections was when I had a defective camera and didn't know it until the rejections started coming in. That camera went back and I got a new one and never had a problem again.
You didn't notice that something was wrong with your images? So you just shoot and upload and don't inspect them for yourself? Holly cow

Zoomis go down every month because they show only for certain period. So zooms go down at the beginning of every month, jesus.

Also, the truth is, that even bestsellers will eventually stop selling. I uploaded few files, same subject 1 year ago and they started selling immediately, every day, sometimes multiple times/day. Now, 1 year later, although I still have sales, they are less and less frequent. So by the time, you get a new bestseller the old one stops selling. So it's kind of never-ending circle.

There is also a fact, that newcomers are competing with more contributors, than oldtimers did in the past, so in that sense, it's harder for them, to increase earnings.

SS was decent, Fotolia pure disaster, worst month since december '14 (I started with FT in april 14'), barely reached payout. Good month on alamy though, 5 sales netting me 125$.

Ok, there are sales where you get very low amount of $ for sub. sales, but there are also sales, where you get high amount of $ for sub sale. So on average, RPD is similar to that at SS or FT, at least for me.

Lately I have tons of those under $1 SODs. 0.81$, 0,53$, 0.69$..... And I just * hate it. I see SOD sale and go check with high hopes, its a decent amount of $ and then I see 0,51$ or sth. similar. Ridicilous.

Dumc!! of course! and it stands to reason. In order to make sure of a constant flow of good and commercial images you have to nurse the ones producing them. This is old news and used to be the case in the old agencies long before micro stock came about.
Then you have the factories and distributors who needs looking after. The small single contributor is way down the list.
Make no mistake nowadays people who are unhappy will quit and take their portfolios with them placing them elsewhere and mostly in the macro market agencies where if its a niched portfolio you can negotiate a deal or something. This happens frequently and especially with agencies like SS and IS.
I reckon if they are any good they don't need nursing.
Nah youre wrong there believe me they need nursing weather good or bad. Just take GI as an example. Agencies like Blend, SPL and Photo-source always gets right up there in their search. Just common sense really if you want their tens of thousands im images. I would do the same if I governed an agency. Nothing wrong there its been done for years.
This claim is ridicilous, I only have about 1200 images, and I have plenty of files on first page for main keyword, whether best match or popular...

Contributor page works fine, looks like customer's side is down.

If I'd run an agency, I'd rather pay more to well established image factories with good quality photos than newcomers whose images might not be so great. Paying more to image factories also makes sure, there is a constant flow of new good images.

Nevermind, I got it, image is watermark-less.

If I use that link I only see a small "preview" size image, not full size. Is that correct?

Thanks for the info. Best month here too.

It's even funnier, because this is probably autmated generic message.
