Title: Alamy Percentage from each photo sale.
Post by: oscarcwilliams on August 29, 2022, 06:15
I just had a image this morning which sold for $61.00 and Alamy took out 80% commission. Is that correct?   Thanks.

It was probably a distributor sale.

That's the new Silver level which started this July. Contract changes in June 2021 said you needed to gross $250 between July 2021 and June 2022 to remain on the Gold (40%) level. To be quite clear that is $250 total license value (not your earnings). Though people will only drop in July each year, you will go back up to 40% at any time if you hit the $250. You can double check your commission level from your Contributor Dashboard. Click the Account Settings tab at the top left of the page and it will tell you what level you are currently on.

It is almost worth setting up as your own distributor and buy one of your images for whatever it takes to get you back to 40%.
