Shutterstock - performance review

[admin]

A quick summery for what you can expect by selling stock photos on Shutterstock:

Shutterstock has 6 levels of royalty share (15% - 40%),
Level resets every year and level 2 starts after 100 downloads, for 40% (level 6) you'll need 25,000 downloads...

here is a breakdown of revenue you can expect:

• Minimum royalty share revenue - $0.10
• Average sale revenue - ~$0.30

There are "enhanced" sales that can bring very large sums (I've seen $800 per sale), but they are very rare, it all depends on the content you sell.

Minimum payout is $25

Is Shutterstock performing well in terms of sales?

Depends on your content really, there are a lot of buyers on Shutterstock, if you have what they need, you will sell well...
Problem is, nobody knows what stock photo buyers really need, if you look at all time top sellers, you will understand
