New Alamy Member Question. What should do?
thenatureguy:
I just got approved for Alamy last month. I have several other microstock accounts that I use to host pictures from my older cameras, and only upload photos from my new Sony A6500 to Alamy. I am wondering if I should make all of these exclusive to alamy, or go ahead and put them up on my other accounts? So, I have some questions that I hope can help me decide.
1. What is the lowest amount I will make off a single image sale on Alamy?
2. What is the most I will make off a single image sale?
3. What is the average amount I will make off of a single image sale?
4. What is the benefit of making images "Exclusive" to alamy?
TIA

1. 60c or less
2. The sky can be the limit
3. Who knows, it varies wildly. Most money seems to accrue from US sales or for some people via Live News. I Think they say that the average sale is $35 gross.
4. You get 50% of the same value rather than 40% (for direct sales).

What she said ^ - my all time gross average is a little over $50, but it has been dropping - more like $40 so far this year (which is probably not a big enough sample to be all that statistically valid). If I knew which images would actually sell on Alamy, I'd be happy to put most of them there as exclusive, but I have not been able to predict these things at all. I guess they went about 10 years without taking a bigger bite from each sale so there is that.

Thanks. By 60c do you mean 60 cents USD ($0.60)?
