Almay Sale for $1.25
HappyBunny:
Hello, I just made a new sale on Alamy. The buyer paid a whopping $1.25. Is that even possible? I hardly ever make a sale on Alamy. For that money it's not worth uploading and all that time consuming tagging.

Of course it is possible and we will see more and more lower sales like this in the future. Look at the $.02 images sales on iStock plus 4K videos going for $.75 there! >:(

You could always contact Alamy contributor services to find out why. Most likely its a distributor sale.
It's still better than 25 cents and you often get higher values. I had a net sale of $400 just yesterday.
As to tagging well every image should be keyworded before uploading it saves a lot of time
Uncle Pete:
True, lower sales numbers and lower commissions at Alamy. Also the worst ever was a distributor sale. Yes, they still beat many others like StinkySocks and flat rate subs.
Most recent low sale - China Editorial Website, Bulk discount, Flat rate per image - $3.96 which is still better than most subs and many ODs?
Another - Usage: Personal use Media: Non-commercial, one time, personal/home use - 2018-2023 by the way, $ 19.99
At least we know, going in that there will be distribution sales for low numbers and decent sales for better than Micro values. 100,000 new images a day is what they say.

Yes, perfectly possible with NU, distributor, bulk discount sales.
You can opt out of NU and distributor sales, but I think only in April.
Micro 'queered the pitch'.
