Thank you! I figured they probably did but then ... I wasn't sure..because I never really looked into it to be sure.

So, this will be a very weird question (be gentle with me..I'm fairly new to all this) but since Alamy is an international site, is it wise to keyword things in other languages, or does Alamy do that already? Yes, I do feel like an idiot asking this, why do you ask? Hahaha!

I know it's been asked before, but I haven't had a sale in more than a month and I did change some of my photos to Rights Managed so I'm wondering if that might be it. I have been submitting as much as I wanted to this summer. Hopefully I can make up for it in the next couple of months. Not sure the change but I'll keep tweaking things to figure it out.

Keywording is so time-consuming and I keep running out of ideas of what to tag photos as. I don't have a question. I'm just complaining. ha! Seriously....it's not that bad, but some days I zone out doing it.

lol. There you go then

Tell me about your photographs of the newspapers, etc. Do they sell? I have seen them on stories about reporting, etc., but wasn't sure if they really sell. Also.. great work, of course.

Congrats! That's a great shot!

Great news shots! But...what election?!

Not really or they are really using the photo and haven't paid? I don't know either....I understand what you are saying here, but I mean I just want to know if my photos are being used without payment. I sent alamy a question directly so I can find out.

Then why are they using our photos if they haven't paid yet? So what if they never pay and they are using the photo anyhow. That's a pretty crap move considering I logged in today for the first time in two months to find I'm owed over $600 but cleared payment is $21

But they get to use my photo and not actually pay for that use?

Weird..how they can buy something without paying? And the one has been like that for three months

I'm curious about the 'cleared' and 'uncleared' amounts. for example, say it says $58 sales but then it says $8 cleared, or something like that (I'm not looking at the screen where it is at the moment).

hello. I am curious if anyone can explain to me what it means when you have a certain amount in sales but it says you are owed a smaller amount? why is that number so different? Thank you.

Ah! Good point! I'll be aware!

Because I like to learn how to be polite from people like you?

Thank you!

Feeling much better today about things and just going to keep plugging on. I have a few new batches to keyword so I'm going to go work on them tonight. It's a slow journey and that's OK!

lol. True!

I just made a very low amount off a photo. Argh! I'm so tired of stock photography. It's a huge waste of my time.

Sold nothing. Pretty discouraged and about to give up. Had a $8 sale two months ago and they gave me $2 from it for some reason. Seems like a ton of work for nothing.

I notice you have album covers in your portfolio. Aren't they copyrighted? How does that work? Just curious. Also, I clicked on your account because i'm from Pennsylvania and I don't always see a lot of Americans on here

I know what you mean... I was honored to be put on featured photographers in December, which was a total surprise, but I haven't noticed it's really helped much since it is a down time of year. All good. It's a great learning experience.!
