Title: Lucky Oliver sideshow experience / strategy thread
Post by: leaf on April 26, 2007, 01:35
A success story for you all :)

Allright well it seems to have worked for one of my images.

I had one of my images in the sideshow for 5 credits.  Yestderday it was purchased with an extended license which means $125 for me.  :)  I have had 8 sales at Alamy - this is more $$ than I have gotten for all but one of them.  I realize it was no doubt a 'fluke' or a one-off, but it doesn't feel like the Alamy sales are any better (in being a fluke)

so now the conversation - how much do you price your side show images for?  which images do you put in the side show?

Well done leaf - $125 for a sale is good money.

Congrats, Leaf!

I'm curious, are sideshow images sold as EL?

At the rate I am going (if I understand this correctly) I will qualify for the Sideshow in about the 2057.

Something to look forward to, I guess.  :D

No free slideshow.  You will still be able to use the tokens earned in the early days - if you were there, of course.

yeah they are sold like regular images, except you say what price you want to sell them at.  I said a price of 5.  so for web images i recieve 5 credits/$ and extended license is 250 credits.  with extended licenses you get 50% of the sale price
