Title: Shuterstock Pay Scale? I'm Confused...
Post by: marcbkk on April 18, 2009, 00:47

I am a bit confused on the current payscale for contributors.

On the contributor's main login page it says this:

"...Once you reach $500 in earnings, your commission goes up to 30 cents per download."

And in the FAQ it says this:

"...After earning a total of $500, your rate increases to $.33 per download. Once you surpass a total lifetime earnings of $3,000, your rate will increase to $.36 per download, and after you reach $10,000 in lifetime earnings, your rate will increase to $.38 per download."

So there is conflicting information on the ST web site and I am wondering if the rate increases to $.33 or $.30 after $500 in earnings?

Thanks..

I don't think they have changed the login page since the raise last May.  It is $0.33 after $500 etc.

Thanks Fred. Also, in the FAQ it actually says "After earning a total of $500, your rate increases to $.33 per download".

So it is not actually clear if this refers to lifetime earnings or $500 earned within one month!?!!?

It's for lifetime earnings.
