Best, I could do, Luis. I haven't figured out how to embed a print screen on here.


I don't see anything on sods there Rob


SOD's are negotiated between SS and the customer.  There is no set price.  That's why we see such a wide variation in royalties.

OP must be getting all my ODD and SOD.  Nearly all my sales are 25/day.  Maybe that too is a part of the rotating priorities in search algorithm?
Also, my sales seem restricted to Asia and Europe.  USA sales are sad.   :(

Aaah Warren, I dont think so. I dont get a lot of ODDs or SODs. I only had 5 mini SODs this month. And I have 1-4 ODDs per day, except weekends. My sales are all over the map. I have about 20-30 DLs per day on 850 images. And I only make 300 dollar per month, and that doesnt seem to move a lot. My BMEs are only by a few dollars. Its all very average.

That's wrong, at least partly wrong.

Where it says 2 images for $29 is where it used to say 1 image for $19, but not in every country. It was called "Single On Demand." Your earnings for that license did not get reported under "On Demand Downloads" but under "Single & Other downloads." Until they got rid of it this month, I got $5.70 (30 percent) for that license, being under the .38 cent tier.

Now, if your image gets downloaded under the "2 images for $29," the earnings will also not show up under the "On Demand" column. If it did, and you got paid the same as the 5 for $49 license (which is $2.85 for .38 tier), you'd be getting ripped off.

Instead, if you sell a image license under the 2 for $29, your earnings will appear under Single & Other Downloads column. If I get a sale under that license, I get $4.35, which is 30 percent of half of $29.

In addition to that, Shutterstock negotiates various different licenses that pay all over the place. That's the "Other Downloads" part of that column. I got one for $22.50 today.

The one for $4.35 is part of the new 2 for $29 package that anyone off the street (in the U.S) can buy. (29/2=14.50. 30 percent of 14.50 is $4.35.)

The rest are special licenses negotiated between Shutterstock and whomever bought them. Like a bulk corporate package or special use or something. You will never know. They are "Other Downloads."

It's confusing because all these different types of licenses are being reported together under one column. They should report those $4.35 ones under "On Demand." And they should bring back the 1 for $19 and report it under On Demand, too.

Look back previous months to see if you got several $5.70 ones, as long as you were at .38 cent then. Those were for the Single On Demand, 1 image for $19.

Also, "SOD" means "Single and Other Downloads", not "Single on Demand."

I have been wondering this as well, I went two weeks without any OD sales and it seemed to coincide with my down weeks.  On the weeks I receive above average sales I have significantly more OD's over subs.

Quite a few people are reporting poor USA sales on SS.
