I'm new to Alamy & got few main questions to be sure :)

[Selma Marset]

• Do I pay a monthly fee on Alamy as a contributor? (as a seller) 
• Can I submit same photos used (uploaded) on Alamy site also on other stock photo websites such as istock for example?
• Do I get to chose on what commission I am? I would not want to be on "Silver" as it says only 20% for the contributor and alamy gets 80%. https://www.alamy.com/terms/contributor.aspx#Pricing-and-Promotion 
• How do I get 50% commission?  Does it has to do with how many photos I upload, meaning how much I contribute? 

 

Many thanks and wishing you a merry Christmas.

1. No monthly fee.

2. Yes, so long as they are the same licence as your other place (RF in the case of iS, for example)

3. No. Your commission is  set by Alamy. Why would anyone choose a low commission? You'll get to Gold and earn 40% from 1st July if you gross $250 by 30th June.

4. Sell enough photos. Very few will be earning 50% nowadays. You need to not be an agency seller and have gross earnings of over $25K in  the calendar year ending 30th June. And that 50% is only on exclusive to Alamy content.

All this information, and more details besides, is here:
