Title: My first sale on Alamy :)
Post by: arapix on January 16, 2016, 05:56
I uploaded only 10 photos on Alamy , just to test the results , and for few months there was no sales.
Then few days ago , I found 1 sale for 35$ , and my commission is 50%
This is really good price for 1 sale comparing to SS , and other microstock sites.
this really encourage me to give more time to Alamy.

Congrats!

I had a similar experience this last Christmas with 14 photos portfolio, very encouraging! I've been increasing my Alamy port since then with everything I have ;D

PS I sell travel photos

I wish alamy were more successful in volume, but have to admit it is a nice to have bigger $ sales , it makes yoi feel your work is a little more valued.

I have seriously been thinking about just trying to get in on RM sites and dropping all micros except for SS for now. I know the sales volume would not be there, but getting more per dl would be good.
