Post by: RH on November 21, 2010, 02:31
alamy has nearly 21 Mio. files online. How many are from you?

1382, so a bit behind my target, but only 9 sales, plus one I've seen online but hasn't shown up yet in sales.
I find their haphazard keywording (no functioning keyword phrases, no DA) very difficult to deal with.

Restarted to submit very recently, this year I didn't have much time and now it's easier without having to resize them.

I am surprised how spread out all the answers are.  There doesn't really seem to be much of a trend.

155 images so far. I started with Alamy only two months ago and have had two sales. One Novel for 6$ (3$ commission) and one monster sale for 185$ (111$  commission). Very encouraging so far!!

re Novel Use - I'm opted out, mainly for two reasons:

- none of my images on Alamy are available on micros, not even similars/sisters  - and it seems unwise to have image just on macro, but available at Novel pricing

- most of my Alamy images are RM, and don't feel it's worth Novel price to possibly make them less desirable for client who needs image with tight usage history (not remotely wording that in correct legal terms)

what i know is RF in alamy can only be sold at similar prize range as microstock, but i am not sure about the difference in the RF usage.

anyone sold RF in good price? i had tried to put some RF images on alamy that is not on microstock, haven't really see the sales yet.

Yes, I had a RF sale some months back that I received $196 (customer payed $490) . . . . .  that's a good Price.

My whole portfolio on Alamy is RF.  My gross sale prices there average $63.47.  Sales have been as high as 200.00+ and as low as .83 (novel use).  None of the RF images, so far, are exclusive to Alamy.

Top sale was RF - gross mid-200s - it's just on Alamy.
