Chuck Nacke Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Quote In my opinion, it is all about the image. I am a huge fan of Alamy and again in my own opinion it is all about the image and the IPTC information. "Stock" is not an easy way to make a buck or a pound or a yen. Stock is a way to see a return on work done over decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's the time when I joined Alamy and uploaded my microstock RF portfolio. Then in 2011 I stopped uploading anything and decided to start uploading again my RM images last November. So I had 6-7 gap at Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no track record of success on alamy or ms, yet you critisise other contributors strategies and sales records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even started criticizing Just questioned. Huge difference. Simply because I see people here are so afraid of ms yet following ms approach. That surprises me.

Ilya Genkin Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 @geogphotos, I'm sorry to say, but I haven't touched your comment at all. If you got a negative one then someone else did that. You might not believe me (you've got all rights to do so), but it wasn't me. I rather decided not escalate the topic for obvious reasons.

I make more money from other sites than I do at Alamy. Deciding some years ago to distribute more widely was the best decision that I ever made. How did you find these other non exclusive RM libraries that are a good fit for your Alamy images? When I search for libraries via google I just get swamped by info on the microstock sites.

I don't know who the second one you hint at is. I just found BAPLA site and looking through their list of suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bonsai approach 2. The fishing trawler approach Both strategies work for different people. It is also possible to spend most of your days on a trawler, but occasionally devote an evening or two to tending your bonsai collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, wait a minute! That's my sink here in New York City. My landlord buys his sinks in Chinatown, I'm told. Imported perhaps, but from Asia, not the UK.
