Since Alamy cut their commission rate, I'm selling twice as much!

<sarcasm>twice as much</sarcasm>

Martin Carlsson:
Confused by the "sarcasm", but since the implementation of their exclusivity, and I have a fair bit of exclusive images, number of sales have increased significantly.

First quarter this year shows more than double the number of sales compared to the same period last year with only a modest increase in portfolio size. Healthy sales prices too. Alamy is one of very few things that are positive in this industry at the moment and actually looks good for the future, compared to most others.

dpimborough:
I get the sarcasm  ;)

The exclusive nonsense has no effect on sales as customers are not able to see what is exclusive or not.

Also the reporting time for sales is so long that any spike in sales would have been for images sold months before the implementation of "exclusivity"

All I can say is that my sales revenue for none exclusive images have been cut by 20%!

ShadySue:
My rpd is vastly down there despite all my files being de facto exclusive and c99.5% being exclusive nby their rules.

Not Today:
Last year was a great year, then suddenly sales completely stopped.
