It appears Revo is toast ! I logged in today and a notice come up saying he shut Revo down. He says something about still trying to work out a deal with other libraries to take over and honor the agreements …. but …. I think my money is gone for good, it was in the low hundreds.
So much for integrity……. I’m out a few hundred myself, I guess…..
Well, that’s some mediocre news… I had over $1,300 there and they still sold well up until the day before yesterday!
Same here.
First Beat Orchard, now this.
I surely hope that Craig will try as much as he can to honor what Revo owes to the producers. I think Craig is a decent guy, for what I’ve seen, so I am moderately hopeful.
One thing I have to say, more generally.
KUDOS to those libraries that pay their producers FREQUENTLY. Like once a month, or even less. That makes me feel that I am not taking on a significant share of the entpreneurial risk which I don’t want, especially without having any managerial control of the business itself (and, without acquiring any share of the entrepreneurial profit either …).
It is just beyond me that the guy running Beat Orchard could get away stealing money from the music producers without any consequence.
As I said, I think Craig is a good guy and will do everything he can.
But still, there’s something wrong about the whole “concept” of producers being at the mercy of certain self-proclaimed “entrepreneurs”. Just sayin.
Well, he might be a good guy when everything goes according to plan but he made some serious (illegal) mistakes that I hope will get fixed.
Anyone believe that RevoStock will get investors and get back on their feet? They owe me a big chunk of $$$ so it would be nice. I must believe!
They owe me a few hundred dollars too. Every month I contact them asking for the money, and every month they refer me to an old producer blog that states, “paying our composers are our biggest priority” and they are trying to catch up and have caught up on most of the payouts. Except mine of course, and yours!
Yeah, it’s a 50/50 on this one I feel, but I’m patient. And it’s more than a few hundred I’m afraid…I don’t want to pull my tracks because they sell quite well each month. I also don’t want to just have them take all the money until they have to close the site…
I’ve had very little sales with Revo. Maybe one sale every 3 months or so. Got much better traction from other RF site, so last week I pulled out all my tracks.
I sent them an email asking to withdraw my music. Nothing happened. How did you get them to pull your music??
I had thought they cut the contributor’s share back to 35 percent too, but I just got a sale there today and it was at the standard 45 percent…
Ok, then it must be for visuals only then. I know there was a bit of an uproar about that, so maybe they decided not to go with the 35% ? I’m going to try to find out for sure.
I just got some tracks approved today, not a great site but generates enough not to pull tracks from yet.
Same here!
Same here also ! Had a whole pile of racks approved last night. Is everyone aware of the of the Patent Troll issue that they were dealing with the last year or two ? It’s resolved now but it set them back big time and they’re in the process of trying to recover. It drained them financially, they had to cut back on staff, etc. probably resulting in issues that have been mentioned in this thread. They’re confident they can get things back on track but we’ll see. DI is right though, their priority seems to be visual and unfortunately music seems secondary. I always get a few sales but really nothing to write home about but still worth leaving my tracks up. Hopefully things will improve now. Also, just in case a few of you aren’t aware, they cut back contributor’s share to 35% for about 4 months, I’m sure it’s for both visual and audio, I’m not 100% sure though.
A trickle of sales these days. It was more consistent a few years ago.
It seems as if stock photos, stock videos, and visual effects are the big sellers on the website.
Revostock appears to be dormant. Their website has said that they are no longer accepting submissions for some time.
About 6 months ago, maybe longer, I asked to be notified if that policy changed. Since then I’ve have only received promos for new products.
I “unsucscribed” from their mailing list, to which I never subscribed, and received an automated response with an option to comment at this address news@revostock.com. An email to that address was returned as undeliverable.
Art, you may want to contact them to see if there’s a pulse.
I bailed on them a year or so ago. Two or three years ago it was looking promising but went downhill from there.
Yeah, I stop contributing years ago too.
And for right now their site says they are closed to new submissions…
A couple of weeks ago I pulled all of my tracks, and closed my account. As was said earlier, their approval process is extremely slow, and I never really had any great sales with them. And now you don’t get paid unless you have a minimum of $100.00 in sales, which for me on that site could take many months.
