And pond5 also has a subs program with over 400 000 files, but unlike Getty, artists never know the sales volume or for how low they sell.

Contributor gets 40-60% of that.$8.32 per clip if you have an annual membership.But, as you say, we have no way of knowing what the custom deals are.But an estimated guess would be an average buyer price of $10-15 per download (let's say $12.50), so if you make $100, you probably had around 20 downloads if you're non-exclusive.
Perhaps that has changed, I dont know. But at least when it came out it was a we rent it for a low fixed price thing.

But you are right, it used to be a low guaranteed return. Not anymore.See my post above for current numbers, and download number estimates.
That is good to hear. Then it would be interesting if they would allow all artist to opt in content of their choice to the pond5 subs plan.
Unless a miracle happens SS will finally be at number two position instead of one.January sales qty is as usual however revenue has dropped 50% and is the lowest now since 2014 due to the lack of ODD's & SOD's
I was going to focus more on Adobe Stock but 1 sale on Jan 29, 1 sale on Jan 30 and 1 sale on Jan 31. That's on 2k port with images and videos. I mean common they really must think we're a bunch of fools and we are in a way for putting up with all this.For many sales on new files are non-existent at both Shutterstock and Adobe Stock. Why we still upload new material is beyond me. We might as well ride it out selling nothing but our old files. It doesn't matter if you upload new work, niche, videos, 3D, etc... it all seems to be hidden from the buyers Those who claim good sales are mostly hobbyists so nothing to go by, sorry. I expect February to be even worse. Why should anything change anyway, we keep uploading with less return so all is well right!

I haven't seen that before.https://www.stockperformer.com/ a pay service that compares your sales to others who pay for the service. I don't think they can read data from companies, only members.If that's true and only people who pay are included, then being in the top 15% is a good sign for Liorpt?
