Images on sale
Once your images are available for sale you will want to know how well they are performing and respond accordingly. We provide you with all the tools you need to monitor your sales (and subsequent payments from Alamy) and to increase your sales potential.
The process
- Monitor your sales to see how well your images are performing.
- Manage your images, annotating accurately to optimise for AlamySearch.
- Increase your sales potential by utilsing these tools and opportunities:
- Novel use allows you to take advantage of sales opportunities that fall outside of our standard price model.
- Distribution makes your images available for sale by our growing network of International distributors.
- AlamySearch determines where your images appear in a set of search results so we recommend that you take time to understand how it works.
- My Alamy Homepage presents your images in an exclusive area which you can link to from your website. Visitors can search or browse your collection without seeing pictures from other providers.
