GaryK Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 PS, Since I joined Alamy in 2003, and with 10k images, how can I be a 'newbie' ? oh, by the way, the spellchecker on this forum red lines the word 'Alamy', (laughs ironically) http://garyksmithphotography.blogspot.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Encouraging news from a number of people! I have seen a couple of 3 figure sales in the last few months also, but not in the same league as you guys. Maybe Alamy's new sales strategy is beginning to bear fruit? I get the impression that you need to be selling to buyers outside the UK (maybe outside Europe as well) to make the good money at this time.

Bizair Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Well done. This type of news is encouraging to us all. And there could be many more such sales by Alamy that are never posted on the forum. Firstly, those of us who do post here are a tiny minority of contributors. And, secondly, some of those, perhaps many, who do post here may not wish to reveal their sale prices. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that wish for privacy, it is an individual choice. But given that we do get some who are generous enough to post such achievements and that this is a very small number relative to the total number of contributors, leads me to suggest that there may be many more high value sales than we may think. Any other views/observations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Perhaps Alamy could list the top ten sales values each month just to keep us interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
