Popular Post The Blinking Eye Posted September 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 I did it! I made my first sale ever. Was really struggling yesterday with this digital world and all if its file sizes, compressions, formats, file management, softwares, blah blah blah. Just drowning in complication. Then today I made a sale. Onward. 🤩 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Congratulations. That's a good start, especially with less than 200 images. It looks as if you've been uploading more editorial images to your collection, so additional sales should come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Well done! I was 400 pics before I made my first sale. Hopefully it'll be the first of many for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Robinson Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Well done. It's a nice shot and getting any sales at all with only 196 images on file is quite an achievement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Generally speaking, images that might be used in books (e.g. textbooks and travel guides), to illustrate articles in magazines and newspapers, or on editorial websites. This type of imagery does best on Alamy. I'd say that most of your recent images fit the editorial category, the earlier landscapes, etc., not so much (you never know, though).
