Richard Baker Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 .. when a contributor makes his first sale he has to buy his colleagues a whisky. It's buried in the Alamy contract small print. I'm not driving tonight. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's buried in the Alamy contract small print. I'm not driving tonight. Richard. Thats why it is always good the read the full contract . Especially when it was a glass of beer it should be a sign that maybe i missed something with not reading it. Unfortunately Polish people are not such whisky drinkers.....but i can always take Zubrowka Vodka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirco Vacca Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 I dont know if Alamy will be happy with a bunch of drunk photographers .... Ah, don't worry! We'll all come to your place this weekend. Alamy doesn't work on weekends. You also have crisps? I like salt, not paprika, but perhaps others like it. See ya, Philippe The first sale should be a 10.000 dollar sale .......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirco Vacca Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 I just had my second sale . So two sales this month. It looks like i only needed patience. The next will come for sure soon also. Thanks for your nice words and advices. But dont worry i will not put a new message for every sale. It is just for the firsts. This image i sold today: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your nice words and advices. But dont worry i will not put a new message for every sale. It is just for the firsts. This image i sold today: Many congrats, Mirco! However, I wouldn't count on two sales in rapid succession as being the regular return until you have had a few sales...and a little more time. Let's hope I'm just being pessimistic! FWIW: my first sale (in June) was quickly followed by another 10 days later - then nothing until 30th September. Another wait 'till 1st November and then my best sale to date 4 days later. But nothing since then (well, one unreported on 7th November). So consistency for us new sellers is not something we can expect. I know that Philippe has said that for regular sales we should have "at least 3000 images" - and then a few months for those images to be found, [possibly zoomed], licensed and reported. You have easily leapfrogged me with the quantity so you'll likely get there before me with the regular sales too. It'll be interesting to discover! Next summer (or in 12 months) should give us some more reliable figures. Good luck to both of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirco Vacca Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thanks for your answer Danny.I know that i can expect emptyness. I am anyway happy. Also because a sale will bring the ranking up. I will let you know what will happen for sure if you want. Escpecially because we are both new.

losdemas Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yeah, it'll be interesting, Mirco. I hope that the ranking is positively affected, (it should be), but don't rely on the BHZ game to give you reliable results there - my BHZ 'rank' went down after my first two sales - figure that out!
