CarlMillerPhotos Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Finally sold my first image! And it was for a book cover in Japan!! Pretty cool!!! With the distribution cut, I'm only going to end up with 30% or the total sale, but I'm still relatively happy for finally getting a sale!! Okay... I'm sure this isn't so exciting for your old-timers, but just remember your first sale if you can!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdh Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Congratulations! It is great if ones pictures get appreciated. My first sale is not that long ago either and despite it was only for an equivalent of a cheap coffee it felt really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dufushead Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Congratulations - a great feeling, I remember it well. First of many I hope. The thing about Alamy is that the excitement from a sale is totally out of proportion to the financial reward - but that's just the way it is. I seem to get more excited by an Alamy sale than a commercial commission that pays 30 times that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Good luck. Mine was back in the days when a regional UK magazine paid $82 for a DPS and the Guardian $44 for a web use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Congratulations! My first sale only came in a couple of months ago and the feeling was amazing! Here's to many more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, it is still the same today, only divided by ten and in the meantime the $ has lost value the factor of 10 So calculating 10 divided by 10 equals one, so we still get the same or am I miscalculating???

spacecadet Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Probably, but we don't discuss those low prices anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdh Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 sorry was just trying to joke, now realised it was dark sarcasm (Germans have no humor - I know that first hand because I am German ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
