For me a first. At this moment I have more ODDs than subs. 

We seem to be on separate servers, Ron -- when your sales go up, mine go down.
The few ODs that I have are the small and medium variety.
My DLs are normal but dollars are WAY down.

Aaah subs overtook odds. Go on odds.....

Yes. An EL would make it BME for me most likely

They tweaked something as my previous best seller went from upper half of page one to top of page 2.  (it has  been slowly sliding down from the first line of page one ever since it was kicked off of relevant (for at least the first 10 pages or so)). Unfortunately this is one of the seasons for sales for it, so this might be the end for that file. oh well, it was a nice run while it lasted.

Last weekend was particularly low, but it also seems like more variability in sales this month than previously. Almost like they are moving to a DT sort of system where they turn various ports on and off for subs and OD sales.

so far this month 58% income outside subs

And I'm back in the game...

An ODD yesterday and a few subs today. Keep posting Ron, you're doing me good.

Only thing down for me this month are SODs. Had a decent amount last month. I think they dropped the Single part of it. I don't see it as an option anymore. The smallest package I see now is 2 images for $29. They used to have one for $19.

please tell us where you are seeing those packages, I can only see online subs, els and ods plans, nothing on sods, from a discussion the other day we got to the conclusion it is impossible to know if there is even a standard in terms of prices, just too many different amounts that contributors are having

the 19 dollar package was ODDs  if I am correct. I agree, SODs are negotiable.

5 mini SODs this month. Lowest 0.80 cent, Highest was 4.75

No. If you sold one, it was recorded in the column marked Single & Other Downloads. "And" is a key part there. That column included the singles which were based on a fixed percentage of $19 according to your tier, and other images that were sold under various licenses that could range from a little bit to a lot. The "Other Downloads" is the part that varies.

They changed it this month to two images for $29, and I'm not sure it's a worldwide thing. They're probably testing it like they did Single license sales.

I find it by clicking on an image like I'm a buyer and those are the options it gives me. I'm sure it varies by country.

you can find the amount that the buyer paid (making some maths) but there isn't information before asking SS for that license, if so please show me a printscreen, I really cannot find it

Not sure what the deal is. Nothing changed for me in Europe. Cant see the US pricing.

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.

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."

yeah we know that but usually we kind of put them all together
