Some next exciting step of Istock and you owe 0.02... The best way to attract new customers is to give them some money along with the image :)

It's something called Getty Connect, which I don't pretend to understand.
The 'sale' is for fractions of a cent and we get paid when it reaches 1c. You must have hit the jackpot.

From that thread:
"Contributors are paid their normal Getty Images royalty rate on revenue earned from each type of deal. Furthermore, all Connect Royalties are aggregated monthly and reported as a single amount under the Getty Connect Category."
Bwahaha, I've only had 2 payments, each of 1c! Suits me.
