Congrats Sean! This is their biggest pay raise like around 33% except the EL's which stay the same...

now look carefully, Sean.

the EL/ sub ratio is indicative of the image´ or the ports quality.
meaning, 70 % of your ELs come from high value content.

BTW, how many pictures do you have online on ss by now?

Passed the $500 mark. I do see quite a few non sub sales. No ELs yet tho.

12 days for 1st 100$
7 days for 2nd 100$
14 days for the next 300$

500$ for the first 33 days!

no other agency can beat these numbers...

Probably, but most new contributors wouldn't get anywhere near that.

I tend to agree with Liz - it says more about the contributor and quality of the images than anything else. The average newbie to SS wouldn't come close to those numbers in so short a time.

sure but new is relative, Sean is new at SS but "old" since he started, same applies to all iStock exclusives with nice sales history that eventually decide to leave and venture SS and other, I believe most will/would do well as well, lifestyle is a very good subject despite massive competition, maybe the so much talked SS algorithm is helping Sean too

we can't also forget that Sean is working/uploading pictures from 2007 and not Stocksy content that would for sure sell a ton more

Come on man, leave some scraps for the little guys.

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #210 on:** February 14, 2014, 17:42 »

I just got $67 under "single and other downloads". Is that where ELs show up, or are they "enhanced downloads"?

Enhanced Downloads section Sean but as you can see- SOD can pay a lot more! Soon you will be King of Shutter

OM · « **Reply #213 on:** February 14, 2014, 20:42 »

EL's are a fixed amount (unsure whether dependent on your lifetime earnings status?) but are around $28 for the contributor.

ODD's are non-sub regular sales @ $2.48 or $1.07 (smaller size)

SOD's can be anything from the same as a sub sale (33, 36 or38 cents...Facebook deal) up to $100+. There's always been mention of SOD's for 'sensitive' use but I've had a few @ >$50 and they didn't have people in them. Dunno how a picture frame can be 'sensitively' used!
Baffled but not complainin'.

ELs are $28 for everyone. OODs are $2.85 or $1.24 at the current top rate (which Sean will be at next week

)

I don't like the fact that we don't know the license terms for the SOD sales, but having complained about it and they won't change, it's accept it as is or walk. I have yet to hear of anything unfair or wrong with an SOD, so for the moment I'm taking the money and trying not to fret about not knowing what's been sold for those $75 or $90 or $114 licenses

You are '' OPT IN '' for sensitive use license

Made it to the $.36 level if anyone cares. Honestly, from some of the posts here, I would have thought I'd make it faster that this.

As your correction officer you're still under probation this we have slowed you down a bit

cobalt · « **Reply #220 on:** April 23, 2014, 14:38 »

Congratulations!

I am still at 33 cents.

Ron · « **Reply #221 on:** April 23, 2014, 14:50 »

5 months to 3000$. Took me 7 1/2 months to get to 500$

Congrats

cobalt · « **Reply #222 on:** April 23, 2014, 14:58 »

Shutterstock should introduce a few more higher levels. After 38 cents, what goals are there left for you?

Just wondering, you made 2500 dollar in 2 months and 10 days, just 5 months in. Thats freaken insane. So it is still possible with the right images.

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #224 on:** April 23, 2014, 15:15 »

With all the negative posts at IS, I wonder if I would be dropping toward that number these days if still there.
