Hello again!

A brief update about where we are at with our video contributor technology.
We have recently launched video pricing tiers. This means you can price all of your videos or just one individual video at another price point.
Existing high quality contributors are grandfathered into the "Premium" tier.
New contributors will start at the "Regular" tier. After uploading 100 approved videos, you can apply for the "Premium" tier.

Here's how the new pricing works:
    "Budget" (HD - $5, no 4K)
    "Regular" (HD - $24.99, 4K - $59)
    "Premium" (HD - $59, 4K - $149)

Some videos, like a time-lapse or a less offered content drone shot or a video shot with a DSLR at 4K higher bitrate has different value than a GoPro video for example.
To solve this problem, you can now reprice existing approved videos by clicking the checkbox next to the desired video, in the "Videos" navigation tab.
 

Regular is priced way too low, in my opinion. So I've applied for Premium tier. hopefully this will be applied without any hassles.
I've uploaded my entire vector and video portfolio last week, let's see if that brings me any sales.

How's that working out for you?

absolutely not

zero sales 

Has anybody sold anything there lately?

Does yayimages accept editorial images or not?

I ask this because I uploaded hundreds of images there a few weeks ago and ALL commercial images got accepted, but ALL editorial not - strange!

I wrote them two times already and asked them about the editorials. Might be I did something wrong. But I checked editorial images from other users and could not find any differences.
I could understand if they reject some or maybe many of my editorial images, but ALL? (Nearly all images are online on many other agencies.)

I read that yayimages seems not helping much if we ask them. So I ask you to get a faster answer.

Thank you in advance.

Yay do accept editorial images try live chat if you are having difficulties.

So far zero sales, only 2 cents for promotional use by YayImages.

zilch, zero, none

Yup, they really need to drive some traffic and drive some sales

About the RPD of 0,05 I got informed a few month ago. Enough reason to delete my portfolio there, but was to lazy until today.
But the # unlimited DLs packages for $29 per month # forced me to delete all images just now, one by one. uff. Finished!
But of course my portfolio still shows all images, so I did not delete the whole portfolio/account. I left ONE image and will prove, if all others will disappear for sure in the next days.

Looks like they were making sales and not reporting/ paying contributors. This also rings true for me, I found a lot of my images on partner sites through YAY where I make a lot of sales yet no sales through YAY for the same images on the same sites...

Anyone know if Morphart got any satisfaction or posted an update? I have PMd him asking of he wants to chime in here.

Another group law suit needed 

Let�s do it!

Hi!

Didn't read the full thread nor what you are experiencing with them? Basically my experience with them was the following:
- Didn't have any answer for a while there and had a small balance.
- Yay got ''bought out'' buy a few guys I think in Fall 2019 and they contacted me to get my content online but early on they did a huge promotion where they almost give away the images.
Those special offer / subscription sales are reference in the PROMOTION line on each month at the top. For those PROMOTION, I get that we don't know how many image were dowloaded, only the total revenue. You can check it when login to your contributor account here https://contributors.yayimages.com/login or direct link to last month: https://contributors.yayimages.com/downloads/2020-11.

But for me I didn't reupload after my initial upload of photos/videos. The sales are low, and revenue per image is low. I asked one payout since I'm with them which included the small balance I had before and everything was paid out. Hope this helps out?
