So you felt, you need to open new topic about it? Probably about 639439349 topics about "no sales" already.

There are a lot of factors in play today.  Technical glitch that may or may not be fixed already.  Stock market crashing and possibly starting recession.

However today they are correct. No sales. There's been a technical problem that resulted in sales appearing and disappearing for the first half of the day followed by nothing at all.

Jon Oringer confirmed the issue had been identified and they were in the process of resolving it but no data was lost.... they just need to rebuild "Daily Earnings". Starting to see the sales filter through now.

People who spot these issues shouldn't be ridiculed but thanked.... as it is those people who highlight problems that are then resolved rather than go unnoticed.

Is your sales normal today?

After reading this, I became concerned, so I checked the sales on my previous 4,380 days here and discovered that sales were better than my worst day and worse than my best day.  I was going to compare it to my previous 12 second Mondays in February, but I lost interest.

I think you need to check hour by hour, include when Ash Wednesday was the same day as Valentine's day. I think the Moon has an effect, sales improve or decline when it's around the full moon. I'm positive, when the 1st is a Thursday or Friday sales for the first two weeks will be lower than if the 1st is a Monday. It's Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday today, probably why sales are up for me.

they clearly cannot manage the flow of  bull...it from amateur.
yesterday saw some images appalling. i went to read the forum of shutter stock and i stumbled on one thread of a guy asking some comments about portfolio...i started crying. unbelievable.

When I have good sales it's obviously due to skills and the algorithm is clearly adjusted to be perfectly fair to all contributors. If I have bad sales then then its obviously unfairly manipulated.

i read often the russian micro stock forum....a place with really thousand of contributor some earning probably more than all the daily contributor here together , and practically every contributor thinks that sales are practically 100% controlled by shutter stock. How couldn't be so clear? they are the only in stock market..they need to earn, they must have  steady grow.

Why apply a cap why not just direct buyers to the 25c offerings if the buyers are happy to buy them instead of your superior work whats the problem? If SS want to apply a "cap" they are entitled to why don't you take your business elsewhere if you dislike them so much?

There's no proof of a cap, no reason, nothing except a small group who thinks there's some conspiracy against them who can't stop writing about sales, complaining and blaming the agency for some trick. DUMC is right, they write the same over and over but never with any proof. Sure the search changes, it changes for all of us.
SS doesn't have an interest in any favorites let the buyers decide. That's why they take almost anything now, no standards just let the buyers decide. Some time ago people wanted that, less rejections, let the buyers decide. Now we have that and the same people complain about low standards.

Just can't win with complainers always finding something wrong, always blaming someone else or something else for what's just normal. If the site is broken, it's broke for all of us the same.

There's no proof of a cap, no reason, nothing except a small group who thinks there's some conspiracy against them who can't stop writing about sales, complaining and blaming the agency for some trick. DUMC is right, they write the same over and over but never with any proof. Sure the search changes, it changes for all of us.
SS doesn't have an interest in any favorites let the buyers decide. That's why they take almost anything now, no standards just let the buyers decide. Some time ago people wanted that, less rejections, let the buyers decide. Now we have that and the same people complain about low standards.

Just can't win with complainers always finding something wrong, always blaming someone else or something else for what's just normal. If the site is broken, it's broke for all of us the same.

u manage 10 k sales in 8 years maybe more...what the f...ck ai can discuss with yoU?

How accurate is SS reporting? Is it possible they don't report all sales?

Anything is possible but deliberately doing that would be an open-and-shut case of fraud and I doubt if the owners are so poor that they are willing to risk jail to snaffle our 38c commissions.
However, they did once credit me $10 for a referral from a year earlier that had been overlooked - so yes, they can miss things, but if they do then they pay up if they spot the mistake.

Simon! No doubt agencies have cleared their strange behaviours with their legal-depts but there is still lots of "legit" skull duggery going on, lots of it. Every single thing they do is based on short term profit thinking.
Their survival is exclusivly based on new contributors with new ports constantly joining! still thinking in terms of a rich over night success.

I think possibly you and me and a few hundred other oldies are among the last ones still involved in micro-stock but if you want to go with a really great RM/RF agency, give me a PM and I tell you! :)

you cant see cause your level of sales is so tiny u cannot see...u dumb are amateur. who happy with 100 dollar month from stock photography. that's why is impossible to discuss with you.

you think 0,28 vs 0,36cent is not an argument?they accept anything just to sell file at ',26 cent. understand?

C'mon then.

Show us your graphs. Show us your spreadsheets. Show us your working.

u manage 10 k sales in 8 years maybe more...what  ai can discuss with yoU?
understand?

You know my sales? Can you link so I can see that data myself? How many years?

How many sales and files does someone have to have to write an opinion here, I'd like to know the rules that you and Michelle have now created. I didn't see them listed when I signed up for the forum. But your point is, I can't see caps because I don't make enough sales? Wait, maybe I'm one of those people who's stealing your front page spot because I'm so terrible and cheap.

Wait, maybe I'm one of those people who's stealing your front page spot because I'm so terrible and cheap.

If you don't want everyone to know it took you 8 years to get 10K in sales, don't share that information. Anyone can read that and see you don't have all that many daily sales. And maybe don't claim that more successful microstockers must be wearing tinfoil hats when they have a lot more sales and can clearly see patterns you can't?

I'm guessing there are people here who make 10K a month, a few who make 10K a week. At those sales levels Shuttertock's machinations become a lot clearer, not only because you have enough sales to see drops that are statistically relevant, but also because you pay very careful attention to where your images are ranked, where your competitors are ranked, etc. And you can see that your images, along with those of your major competitors, are subject to the same algorithm changes.

Looking back, of course, I now understand that all those exciting instant sales I got as a newbie were because Shutterstock was pushing my lower-royalty-earning images up in the search.

So you benefit from the algorithms at first, and then you're punished by them as you get more successful. Sort of the exact opposite of what happens in the real world, where you get raises and promotions for doing a good job instead of getting demoted for it.

Except you don't know my sales or who I am and you're just making this all up to support your impossible conspiracy theory. No one is being demoted for doing a good job, competition and volume of new are extreme, you did't think these good sales would last forever without a flood of competition coming in and taking away your business? Of course you thought that buying a house near an airport meant no airplanes and nothing would ever change there either?

When many of the people here started there were under 10 million photos on SS, maybe 4 million. Now there are 180 million and a million new a month. Did you ever consider that these new photos might also make sales, that many would be similar to yours, or did you expect a monopoly of some sort? Should your work be in front forever and nothing new gets seen? The limit is how many total sales SS or anyplace else can make a year and your percentage is dropping.

You need to consider that I lied about how long it took to reach $10,000 how many years, how many files, because of trolls and stalkers like you and Simon and others who want to use anything someone writes as a way to personally degrade and attack them. False information is a way to throw you off so you don't know anything about who I am, what I shoot or draw or what my actual sales are.

If there was capping, I'd see it. I also trust someone like farble that his sales are steady, but not unlimited or capped either, he just does very good work and there's only so much that one person can sell a month. I don't know how good steady sales can be a bad thing? Growing against the million new images every month is impossible. Staying level is a hard earned prize and deserves admiration in this business.

I love your logic though. I'm too stupid or don't make enough sales so I can't see the cap. It's not just me, you are insulting everyone else here with that kind of arrogant self centered reasoning. We're all inferior to your superior self image, that's why we can't see something that doesn't exist, like you do. We either agree with you or we're dumb and blind or don't make enough. Thanks for the enlightened information that shows your proof, which you have avoided. I can't prove something doesn't exist, that's impossible. So the point for you or someone else is prove it does.

I always wonder when people talk about "The Real World" in what way are SS not in the Real World? anyway we are not SS employees we are suppliers in SS world all they are interested in is maximising profit.

Let me make this easy. No I didn't post a blog, I don't have one. Stop trying to say you know who I am or that I can't be capped because I don't make enough. You are wrong. Stop saying where I live, including the city, as a way to say, I know who you are, because you are also wrong. But please keep saying that only upper level people are capped, it's good news for the rest of us who aren't. Reminder that when you criticize people for their work or levels, you are making fun of over half the people here, maybe 75%. But you're so vane you don't mind putting down all the new people and all of us not as wonderful as you.

Now you can go back to writing political hate messages and maybe keep busy with that. Or you can keep stalking me because you don't know what you are writing about and know nothing about who I am or my work. Please stop the obsession with my data or illustrations and video collection.

Thanks, you're right. That should end that one. I've tired of the whole game anyway. Done with being followed and attacked because of my views.

Let me make this easy. No I didn't post a blog, I don't have one. Stop trying to say you know who I am or that I can't be capped because I don't make enough. You are wrong. Stop saying where I live, including the city, as a way to say, I know who you are, because you are also wrong. But please keep saying that only upper level people are capped, it's good news for the rest of us who aren't. Reminder that when you criticize people for their work or levels, you are making fun of over half the people here, maybe 75%. But you're so vane you don't mind putting down all the new people and all of us not as wonderful as you.

Now you can go back to writing political hate messages and maybe keep busy with that. Or you can keep stalking me because you don't know what you are writing about and know nothing about who I am or my work. Please stop the obsession with my data or illustrations and video collection.

There's a lost of misplaced anger on this tread. Maybe some of you need to cool down a bit? Maybe go outside instead of being continually affected by a non-stop wave of sensationalist political news?

The algorithm changes are affect all of us, not just veterans. They've gotten rid of the Relevant tab and they've completely changed the results of the popular tab. What's popular doesn't seem very popular... since the results show some very mediocre work and me as a buyer would not download most of it.

I don't see any cap. What I see is a company trying to maximize their profits by testing different algorithms. Trying to minimize sub downloads, but increase on demand downloads, and I don't think they're having an easy time balancing it since the revenue are split slightly in favor of subs, but otherwise nearly even. That's why there's been so many algorithm changes.

SS has really messed up recently and I don't like what they're doing. They're the one site that changes constantly for no good reason and their changes are bad for contributors and buyers.

@namussi,
Why are you so aggressive? You are the one that is acting like a bully. Why should anyone share their charts just because you say so?

Many people are talking about some plausible, indirect evidence (not proof) that earnings are limited in some way, are they all crazy?
You are free to have any other opinion but don't bully people who think otherwise. This discussion is as old as stock itself and nobody has the right answer yet.

As usual you will move to have any thread closed by nuclear devices. Why are people claiming a cap probably full-time and others nothing but weekend snappers. How insulting and stereotyping of you. I thought we were against that kind of thing here? Calling people cretins coming from you is a better joke. Have any more names to call the rest of us in your desire to win the argument. The whole term of capping is some moving target that you keep changing if anybody tries to pin down what you mean. Not only is capping not income drops or the search changing or anything else, it's purely subjective. If I'm capped will I get better sales to make up for a slow month, or is the cap only negative because I made such good sales that I'm to be cut off? None of this makes sense and you changing what it is and calling people nasty names isn't facts about caps, is it?

Partly because I'm fed up with being bullied and patronised and insulted by the cap theorists over the past year or so.

Belief in witchcraft, magic or capping presents a framework to explain the occurrence of otherwise random misfortunes such as sickness and unexplained events or lower sales in microstock, and the witch sorcerer, stock agency, provides an image of evil.

Finally an answer, sale or income capping is witchcraft. We've already had the hangings and burnings without any proof, evidence or a trial.

No there's no point in posting here, you'll be stoned or burned at the stake for not following the mass hysteria that sees ghosts, witches or evil agency tricks to cheat us. I wonder how we know they are reporting all sales? No one has ever answered that. We could be robbed by unreported or under reported sales.

If there ever was a cretin on this forum, and elsewhere, it must be Lagereek. Most banned photographer ever. I can't believe Tyler is letting him on here again, calling people names, calling Germans nazi's, calling out amateur photographers etc. up to his old tricks. I guess a schizo never changes, pun intended.

Hold the door, I'm right behind you. Forum has been taken over by hate, anger and personal attacks on anyone who doesn't go along with the witch hunts or doesn't blame some invisible conspiracy for a business that's unsustainable.

Today??  Too much stat checking...not enough shooting, processing, and uploading!  Temporary glitch or not, if you see no sales, get to work and quite wasting time talking about it here.
