Why is Bigstock a good platform for contributors?

Bigstock is owned by Shutterstock, giving contributors access to a massive buyer network while maintaining a simpler, more accessible platform. The budget-friendly pricing attracts high-volume buyers, and the easy approval process means faster portfolio growth.

How does the Shutterstock connection benefit my Bigstock account value?

As a Shutterstock subsidiary, Bigstock benefits from enterprise-level infrastructure, payment reliability, and access to Shutterstock's global customer base. This corporate backing makes Bigstock accounts attractive to buyers seeking stable, well-supported platforms.

What makes Bigstock's approval process easier than other agencies?

Bigstock has one of the most contributor-friendly approval processes in the industry. The review times are typically faster, rejection rates are lower for quality content, and the technical requirements are less stringent than premium-focused agencies.

What are Bigstock's commission rates for contributors?

Bigstock offers competitive royalty rates starting at 30% for non-exclusive contributors, scaling up based on sales volume. The high-volume nature of the budget market means more frequent sales, which can offset lower per-download earnings.

How does the escrow transfer process work for Bigstock accounts?

Our 3-5 day escrow process protects both parties. Buyer funds are secured before any transfer begins. You update account credentials, we verify the transfer, and payment is released only after confirmation. Zero fraud risk guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about selling your Bigstock account

Why is Bigstock valuable as a Shutterstock subsidiary?

Bigstock benefits from Shutterstock's enterprise-level infrastructure, global payment systems, and massive buyer network. This corporate backing provides stability, reliable payments, and access to millions of potential customers through Shutterstock's distribution channels.

How does Bigstock's budget pricing affect account value?

Lower price points drive higher download volumes. Buyers seeking Bigstock accounts appreciate consistent sales patterns rather than sporadic high-value purchases. Accounts with proven download history in the budget market are particularly attractive to investors.

What makes Bigstock's approval process easier?

Bigstock maintains contributor-friendly standards with faster review times and lower rejection rates than premium agencies. Technical requirements are reasonable, making it easier to build large portfolios. This accessibility means established accounts have significant portfolio growth potential.

How much is my Bigstock account worth?

Bigstock accounts typically sell for 10-20 times monthly earnings. The budget platform's high-volume nature means accounts with consistent download history command strong prices. Key factors include portfolio size, content diversity, earnings consistency, and whether content is exclusive to Bigstock.

Can I sell my Bigstock account if I also have Shutterstock?

Yes. While Bigstock and Shutterstock are related, they operate as separate contributor platforms. You can sell your Bigstock account independently. Buyers often value accounts with unique portfolios not duplicated across both platforms.

What are Bigstock's contributor royalty rates?

Bigstock offers 30% royalties for non-exclusive contributors, with rates scaling based on sales volume. The high download frequency in the budget market often compensates for lower per-image earnings, making established accounts valuable passive income sources.

How does your escrow process protect me?

Buyer funds are secured in escrow before any transfer begins. You maintain account control until payment is confirmed. After you transfer credentials and we verify the handover, payment releases to you within 24 hours. Zero fraud risk for sellers.

What payment options do you offer?

We support cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT), PayPal, and bank wire transfers. Choose your preferred method during the sale. Most sellers receive payment within 24 hours of verified transfer completion.
