How to opt out of penny sales?
henri:
I just had about 20 more sales for 12 cents gross. They were all distributor sales netting 3 cents each. Country is not disclosed and there is no info whether these were novel scheme sales.
It is soon April and that is the time period to opt out of various sales categories. There is novel scheme sales to consider, distributor sales and sales to different countries.
I would like to opt out of all those penny sales without losing any good sales.
I plan to opt out of novel scheme and China + Russia. But the 20 distributor penny sales from yesterday did not disclose a country. I think that is deliberate from Alamy.
What would be the optimal strategy here?
Sebastian Radu:
Same problem.. I stopped uploading pictures as soon as I had the first such sales, couple of month ago. Next month I will try to get out of all those "profitable" sales. If I still have such sales, Alamy will have the same fate for me as Shutterstock ... I'll delete the account and that's it.
Eventually, solutions will be found for us as well. Everything is cyclical. I hope :D

I am 99% sure I opted out of sales from China last April (don't know where to look it up as I can never find these settings in my account and have to rely on someone giving me a link) and still got a lot of 0.15 cent sales in December from China.

From your dashboard:
Click: additional revenue options.
From there you'll see if you are 'in' or 'out' of Distribution, Novel Use and Image Options.
If you are not 'out' of all Distribution, click on 'Distribution' to see which 'territories' you're opted into.
You may have to drill down further into the continent links to see which individual countries you're currently 'in' and 'out' of.
FWIW, I've always been out of NU, but I seem to be 'in' China, and so far I have none of these mega-tiny sales from China (plenty 'tiny-enough' sales from other places). Maybe the Chinese just don't like my photos.

December dump was speculated for 12 months, so sale may have been prior to opt-out
