GUIDE
first of all to register as a premium author (NON-EXCLUSIVE) and start selling, just click on my affiliate link: http://bit.ly/becomecontributorfreepik
Then it is necessary to present 20 beautiful images (not necessarily the most sold on other agencies and above all not out of season). Attention must be paid above all to the quality of the image, especially to the depth of field, exposure, image noise and sharpness. For the test I suggest you avoid images from current trends to favor simpler shots but with all subjects in focus and without filters, without vignetting or annoying flare.
If you pass the test you pass to the 2nd level.
If you fail, you can try for a second time after which the account is LOCKED and you can unlock it only after some time by writing to support@freepik.com *** (ATTENTION it is recommended to try again after some time and it is REQUIRED to motivate the new attempt and post links to portfolios where there are new jobs uploaded to other agencies) ***
Once approved, ftp can only be used after reaching the third level, or the approval of 100 images. (ATTENTION: in the review phase it is not possible to upload more than 100 files before passing to the second level).
EXAMPLE
After approval and level two, Mario has 15 images in his portfolio. Upload 100 more images and do not upload anything else in the review phase. When selected to mario 50 images will be approved. Mario in portfolio now has 65 images. Finally Mario can upload another 100 images. In the second review in mario 40 images are approved. Mario now has 105 approved images in his portfolio. Mario has now reached the third level, can use ftp and can upload 1000 files at a time. YOU ALSO MAKE YOU LIKE MARIO ? ??
“WE RETURN SERIOUSLY”
ALL FILES MUST NECESSARY CONTAIN THE METADATA IN ENGLISH BEFORE THE UPLOADING.
❗ There is no need to attach disclaimers (but you need to have them) or choose categories. So a very lean job.
What are the earnings?
The Earnings are counted at the end of the day shortly after midnight. The gain is about 0.075 cent per download (it will likely increase after the pandemic.). In any case, the fee is not fixed but varies according to how many subscriptions the agency sells. The amount will vary by a few cents.
The money can be withdrawn after 2 months by applying at the beginning of the third month (between 4 and 9) confirming the INVICE and you will receive the money by 15. Minimum withdrawal € 50 with payoneer, € 100 with paypal.
It is advisable to upload a few hundred jobs per week in order to have maximum exposure and to obtain a better positioning of the files sold in the search engine results.
✔The account can be closed even before one year but you must first send a valid reason via email to the team.
If you decide to close the account directly from the panel of the personal area Freepik will keep the images for sale for a year without recognizing the commissions to the author.
Conclusion
Freepik’s earning potential is comparable to that of Adobestock, just as an example, and in some cases even match or exceed Shutterstock.
