$718.84 by Alamy. At the time I was amazed and even doubted it, but it was indeed a real sale.
The most surprising thing is that this concerns a photo that required quite hard work, but which never sold (or maybe 1 or 2 times) on (m)any other site(s) during almost 20 years. Because yes, the sale was not even with exclusive rights!
And you? please share your experience.

Can't recall precisely, but a couple of 250$ on IS and Alamy.

60 something dollars on istock for an editorial image of a Microsoft building.
58 dollars for a video on Pond5.
Hope for better sales in the future.

On Shutterstock - An editorial image.
This was from September 2024 - There were a lot of people reporting this same exact amount for an image that month.

It was editorial image sale

Highest sale US$ 18,000.00  Getty about 35 years ago. (that was gross - I only got half)
Lowest sale US$ 0.01 Getty yesterday (That was net - I got all of it)

I think I might have gotten $100-$200 once or twice from shutterstock before it became shitterstock with $0.25 royalties.

I had a similar sale roughly the same amount of years ago from GI. I remember clearly my 60% or 50% commission was $9700. There was a point in time when it was a 60/40 split then it went to 50/50 as the former was not sustainable... and here we are.

Remember when you got a $75 sale and that was like todays $0.01 sale?

"about 35 years ago" What part of "about" are you having difficulty with? It made absolute sense to me because I was there too, "about 35 years ago"

You must be one of those "it was a closed shop" mindset people.

My message was quite neutral without aggression. Ok, I go add an emoticon

I produce Editorial images also. I really hope to get this one day!

I am not sure of the year because I have thrown away all my old sales reports from my 35 agents - for me it's not important the exact year as the whole of the 90's were totally wild; with massive sales on a weekly basis.

among others, photodisc published several discs with mostly my scanned slides 'eastern europe', landmarks, etc - 640x480 pix - a few dozen at most on a disc retailing for several hundred$

Not as rich or famous as most of you here. $100 commission, Alamy, but I did have a number of them, over the years. Here's an example.

Media: Textbook - print only
Industry sector: Media Industry
Sub-Industry: Publishing
Print run: up to 5,000
Placement: Front cover
Image Size: 1 page
Start: 19 June 2009

and another:

Usage: Editorial
Media: Textbook - print only
Industry sector: Media Industry
Sub-Industry: Publishing
Print run: up to 5,000
Placement: Inside
Image Size: 2 page spread
Start: 01 September 2009

and

Usage: Editorial
Media: Textbook - print and e-book
Print run: Unlimited
Placement: Inside
Image Size: 2 page spread
Start: 01 January 2012

Front cover and 2 page spreads, I'd just like to see one of them some day. I wonder if I got photo credit. They don't come up in a search.

$848 net for a book cover via Arcangel.

Funny that they only used the background as well and not the foreground with the main subject. I'll take it anyway

On Alamy I had $137 net once upon a time.

I had a $252 sale on Alamy back when we got 60% - so just over 150 for me. Also a few 300$ sales there when it was 50/50, so $150 for me and one for $384 when I got 40% - so still in the 150 range at $153.60

There might have been a few higher ones I didn't see hiding in there, but that is in the ballpark of the highest, they do make a difference in the monthly totals, but not like SS back when sales were plentiful for both .38 and higher values.

Other than G connect the lowest was Alamy 2 cent distributor sale where they reported 1 cent for the distributor and 1 cent for alamy leaving me with nothing. They might have had some adjustment to that, but it was piddling anyway, on the order of 1 cent.

Several thousand but that is decades away, can't remember the exact amount.

$120 for a video on Adobe Stock 5 years ago and $110 on Alamy, but they took an 80% commission...

Thanks you all for your participation.
I truly believe this thread is of interest to everyone, and brings together very diverse experiences across time and (monetary) space

Had a couple of high paying royalties for a single sale back in 2022 and 2023 as per the attached images...

Hey Doc!, Marty!, could I go with you in your DeLorean car please? 

$261.63 on Shutterstock in August 2024

Oh I forgot $300 to LAT and same day, same image went to a newspaper for $100.

Part of the never look at Connect Sales individually, just the totals?  If you look at the lowest sale thread, your 1¢ is massive compared to what some of the connect uses are paying us.
