Good news for all Dreamstime contributors. You can expect image levels update and royalties increase in subscription sales starting from the 1st November. See details below:
Old levels:
Level 1 = 0-24 downloads
Level 2 = 25-49 downloads
Level 3 = 50-99 downloads
Level 4 = 100-199 downloads
Level 5 = over 200 downloads
New levels:
Level 1 = 0-9 downloads
Level 2 = 10-24 downloads
Level 3 = 25-49 downloads
Level 4 = 50-99 downloads
Level 5 = over 100 downloads
Starting with the same date, subscription royalties are increased to $0.30 per download ($0.36 to exclusive images or exclusive photographers). Price of subscriptions and price of credits will remain unchanged.
This change should produce a significant increase in royalties/image for all photographers who have images with more than 10 downloads each. Depending on the popularity of the image as well as the number of popular images compared to the total size of the portfolio, the increase of your monthly revenue can be up to 30-50% or even higher in some particular cases.
While this update shouldn’t affect buyers significantly, as many images will be available at the same prices, we believe it will motivate photographers once more for producing better quality.
