NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Shutterstock,
Inc. (NYSE: SSTK), a leading global technology company
offering a creative platform for high-quality content, tools and
services, today announced that its contributor base has reached
$1 billion in earnings paid. The
company released its Contributor Earnings Report, which breaks down
the massive achievement shared among its global community of
artists, photographers, videographers and musicians. The report
showcases an overview of earnings by region, a snapshot of
high-growth countries and features a selection of contributors who
helped make the achievement possible.
Over 1 million contributors across Shutterstock, Shutterstock
Editorial, Shutterstock Custom, Bigstock, Offset, and PremiumBeat
are responsible for making more than 300 million images, 16 million
videos and 24 million music tracks available on the platform. Each
time an image, video clip or music track is licensed through
Shutterstock, the contributor behind that content earns money.
Commenting on the milestone, Shutterstock Founder and CEO
Jon Oringer said, "our 1.9 million
customers around the world rely on the inspiring work provided by
our contributors to create effective promotional campaigns, social
posts, websites, movies and other creative projects for their
organizations, ranging from Fortune 500 brands to the mom and pop
coffee shop on the corner. We are incredibly proud of the network
effect of our platform and this monumental achievement reached by
our contributor community."
With over six images downloaded every second, Shutterstock's
platform provides contributors with real-time information on the
performance of their content, as well as trending topics to help
them deliver fresh images, video and music to meet current market
demands.
Becoming a Shutterstock contributor has never been easier. With
the recent launch of in-app contributor registration for iOS and
Android, image and footage contributors can start earning money
from their mobile photos and videos right away. The
contributor-facing website and mobile applications are also now
available in 21 languages and a newly upgraded contributor
portfolio page offers an enhanced experience for these users to
showcase their image and video content in one place.
In addition to the report, Shutterstock is celebrating this
impressive achievement by increasing the contributor commission for
new customer referrals starting today. Contributors will earn 50%
