Stock Cards Being ON HOLD
Apr 25^th, 2019, 6:25pm

Is anyone else having their STOCK CARDs being put ON HOLD...or is it just mine? There is no way to alter these cards, I have followed the rules as to which all other artists follow as per Stock card creations limitations, I've done all I can do to make them different from the other same-like images. I feel as though I am being singled out as of now. I have gone from making hundreds here at GCU to only bring in 50.00 per pay period. This is eight years of hard work, ADVERTISING DAILY... down the drain already, and now this?

I've had over 100 which is MOST of them, if not ALL. They cannot say it's the inside message, as we can submit cards with no messages, but ones with messages sell better. I've done everything I can.

Thank you Doreen... WHEW!! I apologize for the rant. I did not see the first post about this and just received the email this morning explaining whats going on and how we can fix our cards and make them more presentable... I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was that I was doing wrong, got me frustrated as all heck ... at least we have direction and can make improvements to these stock cards without going thru too much hassle, I do hope GCU will allow these cards to be put towards quota so I can start earning money like I once did. Thank you again dearheart. JP

You're welcome, Janet.

It's not likely that GCU would change the earnings to allow stock creations to earn more since I'm sure they are paying Shutterstock for each usage so the photographer/creator gets paid.
