I had occasional high price sales yesterday too. No, I'm not bragging. 2 on demand photo sales that's nearly 30x most photo sales.

4 nice photo sales that just kicked-in today, making those 10c subs look like background noise.

That's nice!! What the size of your portfolio? I have about 7,000 photos and videos are turned off.

I think that explains your 10 cent problem

Yup.

I still have some big sales, 2 or 3 per month between $50 and $90

Occasional high price video sale...

Don't give up! Occasional sales are back... 'tis video...

Reimar · « **Reply #86 on:** October 18, 2022, 09:49 »

Not really. I don't do video, but over this year from January, after 2000 uploads, I have 2 over $30: $37.50 and $73.40
For me SS is well behind Alamy and Adobe for income.

I also got this one a few days ago.
This amount is very unusual for an editorial clip.

Visualab · « **Reply #88 on:** October 18, 2022, 10:08 »

i do only video and i can say ss despite subs sales has higher rpd thatn adobe...at ss i often have premium sales that goes from 50$ to 300$ (my earning) while on adobe i have few rugular sales and a lot of subs sales at 2/5 $ since subs came in...i think adobe with the new free collection will be the agency that will skew the
market in 2023...

I had a 57$ image sale last week, which soothes the otherwise not so very good October at Shutterstock.

merrillie · « **Reply #90 on:** October 19, 2022, 23:59 »

Not very many high sales for me this year on Shutterstock, the best was a photo for 37.50 back in January, with a few more enhanced photos ranging from $9 to $17.56.
Up to the end of Sept, I have a total of 715 sales for the year for $402. I have nearly doubled that amount on Adobe and iStock is a little behind Shutterstock.
I also have Dreamstime, DepositPhotos, Alamy and Pond5 but they are even further behind.

No.

35% of nothing = nothing!

Either the buyers are no longer licensing correctly or the need for special licences has declined sharply.

This is also true for Adobe Stock. The number of extended licences there is also going down and down. But there, the RPD is still OK - in contrast to shutterstock.

kevinbrine · « **Reply #92 on:** October 21, 2022, 14:18 »

Had a $65.16 image sale today. Rare for me but I'll take it.

Pacesetter · « **Reply #93 on:** October 21, 2022, 15:31 »

Adobe Stock just continues to decline for me despite continued uploading (as the trend line shows). Shutterstock is running at 537% better that Adobe in this current month.

Is this comparison for downloads or earnings? I also have more downloads at Shutterstock this month (and most, if not all months, for that matter), however, the earnings are better at Adobe.

Earnings.

ETA it's changed since. Now it's only 499%.

Interesting, for me, SS has showed a slow long term decline, while AS has showed a slow long term increase in $$. AS now earns more overall than SS for me....and that is with SS allowing a greater range of editorial.

But is your portfolio the same size at both sites? Often people have a smaller portfolio at Adobe because they don't take editorials.

Wilm · « **Reply #99 on:** October 24, 2022, 15:12 »

In October, Adobe Stock is currently at 226% over shutterstock in terms of revenue. And it's been an average month so far.

Shutterstock is missing the big licensing revenue this month as well. That's the problem. There are fewer and fewer SODs and Enhanced. Not even level 6 would change anything.
