Title: Shutterstock earnings for an image
Post by: Luka on August 09, 2015, 08:50
Hi,

 I have a query: What exactly buy someone on shutterstock when I get 25 Cents? I upload vectors. I have never payed attention to payments, but to find some new niches and to make more vectors (I don't have too much - around 300, because I am new in this branch and I also have a lot to learn). Still, today my eyes felt on some Shutterstock announcement :
"Frequent Licensing Questions....here was more information...
Do I have to pay more for high resolution images?
    Absolutely not. Vectors, or eps files are included in the price of your purchase."

So when I upload a vector (eps) this means I get 25 cents for vector or for image only? Sometimes I get 1.88 and this is really confusing.
Thanks for giving me any answer and have a nice weekend ahead! ;)

$0.25. Means subscription sale

They also have odd which is an image bought on demand and that is what the $1.88 is for

Here is a link for you

So, when it is a subscription sale it is downloaded only the image or also the vector, only that it is on a very low price? Sorry for being so confused, but they are speaking about images and sometime includes also vector in this term, like in the announcement I have posted

 (Do I have to pay more for high resolution images?
    Absolutely not. Vectors, or eps files are included in the price of your purchase.)

Thanks.

As it says, the can download the vector within their subscription package. Not all customers do so because not all of them have vector software, so some will only download the JPG.
