Sorry I don't know on that one.

Thank you
please if you get paid from istock let me know

From my experience no I didn't have to change anything. Why did you go to that page? If to check, which is why I have, then it's just showing what your settings are.

Replacing with the same is unnecessary. I haven't re-entered and I haven't had any payment problems.

Thanks a lot for your response.

I had the best month ever in May 2022

I just signed up at freepik. I'm not too concerned with RPD, there are several metrics worth looking at when it comes to choosing which sites to work with. For me it's more about how much money am I making overall, for how much effort, and does contributing to that site devalue my work elsewhere. On the last point, I don't think it does. The freepik audience isn't the same as the SS audience or other typical microstock marketplaces. At least that's my impression of it.

Not everything is so black and white in this business. I can be a contributor at a place that isn't exactly great in terms of RPD and still get something out if it without selling my soul to the company. I can curate what i upload there, send just older work or less popular images. I can drop 100 images there and just see what happens. Don't have to go all-in right away.

At this point, is anything really not worth a try? It's not like things have been trending in a great direction anyway. Freepik isn't going to be the thing that breaks this business. It was being broken years ago by the companies that so many folks here still sing the praises of.

I completely agree with you

Hello,
I want to share with you my experience with Freepik
I now a lot of people here don't like Freepik ..  so I decide to try freepik and it's a great idea, I upload 100 vector file and it's Almost exactly what I got from Shutterstock this days
Here is My first Month Data with less than 50 files



So I think it is worth a try

Good month here.
Second best February ever, better than the last 2 years, RPD $1.18 (excluding Connect)

Could you please explain what you mean by Connect?

🚩 Update
Adobe Stock : currently the payment process might take more than 14 business days.

I got paid yesterday (PayPal, USA) but I went to look at that display on my account and it said "Payment done".

I've never looked at that payment history before, so I don't know if your display "normal" or not. I did note that the date for the payment was February 28 - when I requested it - not March 9, the day the PayPal payment was made.

OK Thank you !

same here !

not only that, this user is using 2 worded keywords for all of his keywords on all of his work without any consequences, reported it long time ago.

unfortunately, SS dont care anymore

Whats wrong with two worded keywords?? Did i lose something??

Based on my knowledge this will hurt your exposition on the site...

I thought about this a lot and to me it makes more sense to use �white background� instead of �white�, �background� but �white� can and should also be used.
Because an isolated image is not exactly a background or texture. Buyers would normally search �on white� �white background� or just �white�

Almost all images I see are with separate �background� keyword so if buyers look for a neat background they get isolations on white too amongst the whole library because everyone seems to use this keyword on everything.
Of course those who do it properly might get punished in search so maybe it is better to keep them separate.
Any thoughts on this?

Ps. Why is it always those from India who sell stolen images? And most of the time I deal with People from India trough SS support. Also most of them seem to be ok with SS change when I check the forums.
Or am I just imagining things?

"white background" "young adult" "full body" are fine and have meaning. check contributor from my link and see how is he misusing it and have 100 keywords on each image, never punished, and now he is one of the best sellers even tho he is not doing anything done before.

"headshot fast" "ethnic laptop" "happy indoors"

so there is no problem to use two words in one keyword ?
