When your hunky everyman husband starts modeling for Sean, you're in trouble

LOL! I seriously doubt Sean is prepared to offer the same fringe benefits to him that I do.

Hi Stacy! Glad to see you are still around

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #181 on:** February 01, 2014, 10:42 »

Ok, my balance got reset to zero, which I assume is because of this:
"When you reach your minimum payout level on the last day of the month, a payment will be processed and your Gross Earnings will be reset to zero to start a new earnings period. At that time you will also receive an email from us notifying you of the pending payment. Once your payment has been processed around the 15th of the month, your earnings will be shown in your payment history, which can be accessed under "Stats" on your contributor home page."

A: I didn't get an email about it - is that broken or anything
B: Is there any place you can see your historical total balance, or what that payment amount will be, or anything?

On Monday you'll get mail

Dear xxxxxxx,
Just thought you would like to know that your Shutterstock earnings have been computed - and will be sent out by the 15th of the month.
By the end of the week (guess Friday) we'll get the money and than you'll be able to see total payment balance.
Don't worry everything is fine

Shelma1 · « **Reply #183 on:** February 01, 2014, 11:04 »

Yup, if you reach your payout amount Shutterstock pays you automatically. I don't recall ever getting an email about it, but I could be wrong.

If you go to your contributor page and click on "earnings" at the upper left, you can see payments, earnings summary, tax center, etc.

you are always supposed to get an email about your monthly payment getting calculated +some more emails about payment arriving coz they break it up into 999s.

Your all time totals are at the bottom of the current month's chart - click on 0 or whatever it now says for your account balance. You'll see the current month's sales and at the bottom your all time totals

You can see previous months/years by using the drop down menu at the top of the stats page, the drop down is located just under the page tab navigation options.

I find it usually takes up to a week to get the e-mail, and a few days later (always before the 15th) you get the money. Shutterstock is absolutely consistent in paying on time.

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #188 on:** February 02, 2014, 09:45 »

Thanks all. I just thought it was weird that, boom, the money just seemed to disappear with no record of it being "removed" from the balance.

I agree I receive mine the same day of every month like clockwork.

My payment almost always comes on the 7th of the month, otherwise on the 6th. Only a few times over the last 3-4 years has it ever arrived on different days (as early as the 3rd and as late as the 8th).

Oddly, the email used to always come on the 1st of the month. But the last 6-12 months, it's arrival hasn't been consistent at all. It's just as likely to come on the 2nd or 3rd as it is on the 1st. It has yet to come this month.

ruxpriencdiam · « **Reply #191 on:** February 02, 2014, 16:14 »

Yep payments have been coming right around the 7th for the last few months.

wordplanet · « **Reply #192 on:** February 04, 2014, 00:34 »

Got my email Monday (Feb 3). As the others have noted, payment arrives in your account well before the 15th. Could be there by the end of the week.

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #193 on:** February 04, 2014, 04:59 »

Yep, got my email - thanks!

I already spent it on my Stocksy models last week.

I hadn't seen this thread until now. Good for you, Sean. Best wishes man

Keep steadily uploading your port in chunks with momentum, I would think you'd get more exposure and sales out of your portfolio that way, rather than uploading everything in one huge lump.

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #199 on:** February 13, 2014, 15:27 »

Passed the $500 mark. I do see quite a few non sub sales. No ELs yet tho.
