MacHeath Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hi all, I spotted a couple of my photos in a British news venue (The Telegraph), but I don't see any actual listing of any sale of the two photos. Does it take some time to register the sale? I saw someone else in the forum here say it can take quite some time. What I'm curious about is (1) how long does it take to process, and (2) for use in a newspaper how much would they pay? I gather the answers are (1) very long time, and (2) very small money. If anyone has exact information, please post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacHeath Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 So the Rupert Murdoch people pay only if they feel like it, and then not very much. Think I'll opt out of it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Yates Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 There was a point earlier in the year when usage and reporting got closer together. However at the moment I have 9 unreported (conveniently forgotten) Which will be on an email to Alamy if they don't show up this month. Money, no comment.

spacecadet Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Newspaper sales may or may not help your rank, but they haven't hurt mine (although they have hurt my averages!) and you can sometimes do better on the infringements than the licences.

MacHeath Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Just opted out of the UK newspaper scam....I thought I'd let it run for a while to see, but it hardly seems worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 After shunning it for years, I decided to opt into the newspaper scheme last month on an experimental basis. No sales yet, which doesn't surprise me since I'm a long way from the UK. I figure that I can easily bail out of the scheme if it becomes frustrating. How does it work? I have no idea.

spacecadet Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 It's a third of my volume. Not revenue obviously. Mine are mostly UK-related subjects as it happens (not necessarily taken here), but there's no reason why they shouldn't pick some of yours for travel or food pieces. Some are slow payers but the Guardian and the Times are the best. Incidentally the Guardian now pays about 25% of what it paid in 2010 for the same use.
