Author Topic: 30 Cent and lower SODs (Read 15340 times)

I'm surprised there isn't already a thread about this.

I noticed a couple of SODs for 30 cents each today. Never had a sale for less than what I would earn from a sub before.

There is a thread on the SS forum about it but no response from SS so far.

Anyone else getting these? I guess some people are getting less than 30 cents.

Never had one for less than sub, which I believe is the FB sales

I quit trying to figure out their forum when they changed the format

I've had some odd sub-$1.00 amounts, but I don't think anything less than 38 cents. 69 cents, 80 cents, 95 cents; that sort of thing. Given that they negotiate deals with large companies, and they're all custom, I guess the number could be anything. We just get 30% (or whatever percentage you get) of whatever is paid.

My lowest return on anything I've ever sold

I got 2 for 0,29$ yesterday. Wasn´t the sub rate garanteed as a minimum?

That's what I thought too.

Two $0.30 sales on 23 October and 17 yesterday!

In the last few months the FB SODs almost disappeared and now this ...?!?

anathaya · « **Reply #9 on:** November 03, 2015, 03:09 »

At the moment, SS doesn't bother to inform us what they do with our files. They think they can do whatever they want and we are happy with earning pennies.

MxR · « **Reply #10 on:** November 03, 2015, 03:12 »

Im 038 level, if i earned 0,30 is because they are selling images from 1 dollar.

Not cool.

Nikovsk · « **Reply #11 on:** November 03, 2015, 03:50 »

Some 0.29 sales yesterday.

Monty-m-gue · « **Reply #12 on:** November 03, 2015, 04:31 »

Some 0.29 sales here over the previous couple of days too. No explanation. Come on SS we expect better of you.

ravens · « **Reply #13 on:** November 03, 2015, 04:59 »

Checked my sales - everything looks normal there so far, but anything can happen with SS.

r2d2 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 03, 2015, 05:24 »

i have one with $0.26!

OM · « **Reply #15 on:** November 03, 2015, 05:55 »

Two SODs yesterday for $0.29 each. Normal subs rate for me is $0.36.
Maybe FB renegotiated or SS wants a bigger cut?

hofhoek · « **Reply #16 on:** November 03, 2015, 07:33 »

Two SODs 30cent each yesterday. That's more than 25% less of an already meagre 38ct. Well SS has now officially turned its coat from bright blue to dark grey

Cesar · « **Reply #17 on:** November 03, 2015, 07:42 »

Also got 30 cent SOD, not happy.

Monty-m-gue · « **Reply #18 on:** November 03, 2015, 11:26 »

more 0.29 SOD's rolling in today.... just as 0.36 FB SOD's have dried up. Coincidence..?

stockastic · « **Reply #19 on:** November 03, 2015, 12:08 »

We need to have some sort of award ready for the first person to get a sale paying $0.00. Maybe a trophy saying "winner of the RACE TO THE BOTTOM".

of course they do and most newbies are also.

.30 sale here too. what?

SS states on their web page "Earnings range from $ 0.25 to $120.00, depending on the customer's license" so I guess they'll have to go change that now.

I WIN!!!!
Yesterday I got 2 (two!) SOD from SS for a whopping .25 each. Whoop-de-do!
In the past, my SODs were $62....then early last year I started getting only SODs for .36.
Looked at their payment page, and now the highest SOD payment listed is $28.
Which I never get.

Might be a reason that Fotolia has provided me more earnings than SS for the past 3 months.
It's only the 3rd as I write this; but currently this month's sales on FT are 40% higher than SS.

Agree. But its no wonder there is no resistance from us so why should they respect us.
