ACC Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 @alamynews on Twitter have used one of my Live News images taken yesterday. I hesitate to ask but does that count as a sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManWay Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Unfortunately not. Alamy News just use Twitter to show some of the pix that they have received that day - generally those featuring Aberystwyth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertSnapper Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Alamy twit things out there to attract the buyers, whether that be news or stock. They are promoting them and us in doing so. So doubt if a sale pops up (unless a newspaper sees the tweet and decides to use it as news). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSnapper Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 there is a slight correlation between having a pic featured in the @AlamyNews tweets and that shot actually being used by a paper or online... not 100%, but it does happen reasonably frequently km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSnapper Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 not everything that Alamy News tweet out sells... not everything that they dont Tweet doesn't sell.... following their feed you do see, on many days, reports of pix used in print that had been tweeted out in the days before... beeing tweeted out means that at least one editor thinks the image is worth looking at, and that opinion is frequently shared by others km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
