Alex Ramsay Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 16 hours ago, andremichel said: What to expect? The short answer, not too much. If you are an average contributor then roughly 0.2 dollars net per year per image, or 200 dollars per year for 1000. If you are a top 1% contributor then several multiples of that. If you are a bottom 1% contributor then expect almost nothing. Bit on the low side, surely? - I'd say more like a dollar a year per image (but that's gross, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that excluding newbies looking for help, most forum regulars are well above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little difficult to calculate precisely as I went from about 3800 to 4900 images over the year. More detailed figures are available here. Make of them what you will.

DG13 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hi . 2400+ images . 2 to 3 per months . Not enough . 90%-10% and few as exclusive I am on Alamy since a while but I started to upload pics only since a year and half. The sales were not regular and start to be after few months. I will advice to keep uploading frequently, check to submit in Live News as well (increase your visibility?) and try to marketing your pictures (more than 100 millions are on Alamy database). I am based in the Middle East and they are a lot of restrictions to take pictures. the question is how to make sure your pictures are more visible than the others? I trying to use the social media for this like Twitter. Any suggestions for this btw? enjoy your day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
