Hellonearth 86 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Woooo hoooo! 4 sales arrived yesterday for a grand total of 191.91. Real progress as that is double the number of sales made before June. I am trying not to get over excited!! Kevin 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Cecile Marion 195 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I've just had a sale come through today to make it four total since I joined Alamy in January 2017. Though the latest photo sold for a little bit of pocket change, I actually sold one earlier in the month for (up to) a quarter page in a magazine. So I guess, all things considering, June has been a good month for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Doc 2,123 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thanks everybody - I have to say that it was not an unusual image in any shape or form so it goes to show that anyone could suddenly have a decent sale come in, so keep going! Kumar 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Kumar Well done Doc, encouraging! After a mediocre June, my July has started with a $156 direct sale, and, as is often the case with my sales, a nondescript image (taken from the top deck of a bus)! I just can't work it out..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Astrid Hinderks 4 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I came back from holiday last week and discovered that I have made my first sale on Alamy! And this morning a second sale popped up! Not cleared yet but still very happy! Now processing my 6500+ photos from my US and Canada trip.... Astrid 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Marianne 927 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Fingers crossed I got an email that one of my images is being considered for a 5-year exclusive book cover at a very nice price. Go Alamy - will let you all know if it works out. Very glad that I kept most of my images RM. Just got full calculator price on another image so feeling hopeful today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Avpics 1,684 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'm showing two images as sold today via download report of the same subject, a Mosquito aircraft, for $50 each. I'm thinking calendar as it's about the right time of year. Shots taken in 2013 in New Zealand shortly after it became the first of the type to fly for many decades, and then it was exported to the States so images of the aircraft are quite rare.

Michael Ventura 6,072 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I had one too, a $950 exclusive cover, back this past winter but never heard another peep. So I guess mine did not go thru. It was of a George Washington statue as a young man...even got a written release from the museum in which I shot it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Betty LaRue 3,256 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Sounds a bit of a shot in the dark, doesn't it? I'll start pulling off my forget me not (or is it a daisy?) petals now..."they want it, they want it not.... Betty Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy deWitt 119 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I had an exclusive American book deal email for the same amount at the beginning of March.......no good news to date about this........ always hopeful as occasionally these things comes to fruition.

It sounds as if I might be better off taking the profit from my latest Swedish distributor sale and buying a lottery ticket. Whoops! Looks like I won't have enough. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Arletta 367 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I also got that $950 exclusivity book cover offer in April this year. Said no. Link to post Share on other sites
Robert M Estall 337 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Oddly enough that is about the figure I got for a trade book cover a few months ago. There was no query about exclusivity though they did ask if I could get a property release. I didn't get a release but we did put them in touch with the owners of the property who were happy about the usage. It wasn't exactly $950, price of perhaps a few packs of the amber nectar more. And it cleared quite quickly! Just checked; it was $989 which not a round dollar figure, but I could have sworn it was an American publisher. Of course, I will never know for sure. Rather a long time since the last nice figure. They are getting rare. Edited July 9, 2017 by Robert M Estall 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Graham 164 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 A year or so ago, I received a request for exclusivity for an image, for quite a nice fee (about $350, from memory). I was pleasantly surprised: it was an ok but fairly run-of-the-mill image of a church taken in Prague. I was pleased when the sale went through and was reported, but it was almost immediately reversed. It turned out that the client had transposed two of the letters in the image reference: it was not mine that they wanted at all, but rather an old sepia picture of American soldiers, maybe from the Civil War (my knowledge of old American military uniforms is not great) which was wanted for a calendar - hopes raised then dashed again fairly quickly!
