Title: Veer- Very Positive Lately
Post by: Goofy on July 23, 2014, 15:17
I submitted 5 images about an hour ago and reviewed already! Plus I had two decent sales ($2 to $4 range) as well- the site is coming a live! Love to bring good news to the group whenever possible  :)

It is already my second best month of the year there... unfortunately that is on the new pathetic sales levels for most months. In fact only the one month beat my average for last year. Still it is nice to see some signs of life.

I notice a slight improvement also, but still much lower than other sites.  I think they should lower monthly payout from $100 to $50.  I don't make $100 there a month anymore since a long time ago.

At my rate of sales it would take around 5 years to reach $100 payout.

Maybe it should be like Bigstock at $30 :)

Reviewing is definitely faster and better but sales haven't picked up for me - hopefully they will get that part improved next

Congrats, it's been a couple of years since I saw a sale in the tens of dollars there, still I've had one for $4.50 this month, so perhaps things are looking up. I can't remember how to calculate the statistical significance of having one sale this month compared with none last month, but I've a feeling it isn't very meaningful.

They do continue to tick along slowly for me. Unfortunately the higher $ EL sales keep getting fewer and farther apart.

The bad news is 7/10 sales so far this month are subs. The good news is the average sale price of the subs is $1.07

another odd thing is that the 10 sales came on a total of 4 days.

They are certainly not living up to the promise they had a few years back, but in the words of Monty Python - not dead yet.

For a long time I only got a couple payouts a year on Veer, but recently I been getting a payout nearly every month.   I figured this was former Istock customers switching over.

Strange. I have been on Veer since the beginning and have consistently earned $30 - $60 per month there for years. Suddenly this month I got a total of $1.30 in sales for the entire first half of October! My WME by a long, long ways.

Now today, in one day, I got $9.35 from sales of 3 files, apparently to 3 different buyers. A little too strange to be the old 'ebb and flow' IMO.

I just wish and wish and wish they would scrap that really daft keyword system they have.

I reckon sales would be much higher if they just adopted a plain language system like Shutterstock DT FT and others.

The controlled vocab system really doesn't allow buyers to search for unusual subjects, or flexibility in general searches.

It's a clunky system VEER  :o

they said they would improve their review times and that they have done! Sales are so-so but a lot of ELs when I do get a sale...
