royalty issues

[Оксана38949616c4ca]

Hi! I have a question about prices for authors. as far as I know, the lowest price should be 0.33 cents, but today my images were bought for 0.29 cents. Why such a price??? Maybe I don't know something

Was it a Custom sale? Custom subscriptions have different asset prices than standard subscriptions, though you still earn 33% royalty.

Remember, all sales are good because they boost your asset in the search algorithms which favor previously licensed images.

Only subscription sales meet the minimum of $0.33. (Just to say 0.33 cents would be very low!)

Custom sales are what the term says, custom sales, and they may generate lower royalties. Adobe did not update their royalty table when they introduced those sales. The good thing with those sales are, that people can license more assets, and they do, so there is more opportunity for the contributor to generate sales.

Why sad? You get less per sale, but you make more sales. Even if you get less per sale, your over all turn over will be higher, as there is more opportunity. The only issue you have is that you are in competiotion with the rest of us, and there as @Jill_C says, every sale counts.

Hi @Оксана38949616c4ca ,

To add to what was said: Partners do sell our files also and they have their own pricing systems some of which are by percentage. Hence, while we are paid less than $0.33 for a few of our files, we are also paid in excess of $1.00 for others.

Best wishes

I have the same situation this week 😞 it's arround 10% les money per download, i hope we'll have 10% more downloads

 It's more than the 10 cents you get from Shutterstock. And Shutterstock does not have these combined subscriptions, like Creative Cloud+Adobe Stock (on an All-You-Can-Eat basis). So yes, you will have more downloads. BTW: I still have many downloads around 90 cents, even when they are "custom".
