Title: Alamy Distribution - Yes or No
Post by: tommroch on February 16, 2008, 12:24
I have just signed up with Alamy. A nice and straight forward sign-up process, though it seems, as well as uploading some images, my next step is to "Join Alamy Distribution"

What is this all about?

If you don't join this, does this mean you don't get the full 65% of the buyers fee.

I must say, I find Alamy unclear on much of its wording.

Any pros and cons from experienced Alamy users will be much appreciated.

Yes...

If you don't you may limit your earnings potential.  All it means is that you give your permission for Alamy to licence your images through certain third party distributors. You can pick the territories you want to be represented in from a list and the current sign up period is until 31st March 2008.

The break down is like this -

Alamy commission 15%

Distributor commission 40%

Contributor commission 45%

There's a FAQ on Alamy all about this.
