XPTO - IF the Newspaper Scheme is where those dozens of small sales are from, have you considered opting out of it?
Especially since I have such a small port (400+ images, all of NY, mostly RM), I'm in neither Newspaper Scheme nor NU. I feel it's preferable to risk losing small sales rather than losing a big sale where client needs right image with "less complicated" sales history.

they already have subscriptions too, for instance their deal with UK newspapers like Daily Mail, Guardian, Telegraph, etc .. that means 5$/photo if you're lucky for web size (RM or not).
That's true. I've got about 50 sales under $10 (gross), being half of them about $3 (gross). In these latest I get $1.85 / $1.90 per sale.
And being the RM images included in the deal is just awful. Some of the RM licenses given to clients are so broad in spectrum and duration that they basically RF.
And I'm not even in the NU program.
