Hellonearth Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 3 minutes ago, GS-Images said: Just had a $76 book sale come through. Not the highest I've had for a book, but I'm still very happy with that. It's one I wrote to Alamy about a few days ago as I found it online, and I was waiting to hear back about it. So I'm guessing that's why it came through today, because they chased it up. So thanks Alamy if that's the case. Geoff. Do we really need to chase these things up? If Alamy are taking 50% of everything shouldnt they be earning their money? Kevin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yes, it's interesting how many report a few days after a nudge. Perhaps they dropped it down the back of the sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecile Marion Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Congratulations! That's very nice. Do you know how long ago the photo was picked up by the book publishers? I'd be interested to know how you tracked down the sale, if you wouldn't mind saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellonearth Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 My point exactly!. Isnt that why they "earn" 50 % Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe how much exposure these pictures have had - Nationals, magazines, front pages etc, but to be honest, I'm sick of seeing the pictures at this stage!

John Richmond Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Two distributor sales this morning have taken my gross earnings this year to just over my gross for last year. Haven't exceeded the sales total yet - 84 so far in 2017 vs 97 for 2016 - but with nearly 5 months left it's definitely on course to be my most successful year since I joined Alamy in January 2014. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultanpepa Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I was beginning to worry that I was heading for a blank month. No fear! One for $120 bounced in today. Hopefully no refunds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had a $250 book sale that popped in last night and at the same time it was refunded. Like giving a kid a piece of candy and then yanking it out of his mouth before he could get one lick on it!! I hope yours sticks around!!

Perhaps it will at least come back in another form. I hadn't seen one of these for some time. Mine is still sticking (fingers crossed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
