Question

Hi, I am a new Alamy contributor and it's probably a simple question...

Do I have to pay something to upload my photos and use Alamy's services and if yes what do I have to pay?

You do not pay anything upfront but Alamy will take a commission from any sales you make. Initially you will be on a Gold contract and Alamy's cut is 60% of each sale (with some exceptions where they and their distributors take even more than that). From July 1st each year, a new Revenue Year starts and, unless you have made sales to the value of $250 in the year to that date,  Alamy's cut jumps to 80% as you are moved to a Silver contract. You can get back to Gold if you gross $250 of sales within the revenue year.

 

It is unlikely, unless you create an exceptional portfolio, that you will quickly get to $250 per annum sales, through it is not impossible.

 

You will benefit from immersing yourself in the large amounts of inforamation available from Alamy, such as Become a Contributor and then browse this forum to get answers to the questions you will inevitably ask - and some questions that you don't yet know that you need to ask.

 

You would also be wise to study carefully the Contributor Contract, just so you know what you are committing to and the joys, sorrows and responsibilites which come with being a contributor.
