And you mean a lot to us. Always good to see you, Nicole! Best wishes for continued (and growing) success!

Thank you Nicole. I really like straight to the point video, without 'fill in'. I just started on Shutterstock a few weeks ago, and now that I got the hang of it, I will stick with them for now. I upload mixed photos taken with a prime 50mm on a secondhand 5d Mkii. Although I only made $1.50 from six downloads (editorial), I can see the type of photos that sell. Stay Safe

Hi Nicole, I am fairly new, and therefore late, to the stock photography experience and I am an avid follower of your channel. I have more images on Alamy than I do on Shutterstock, but, out of over three hundred views on Alamy, I have not even had one person zoom in and zero sales. At least on Shutterstock I have a couple of sales. I really need to up my game so please, I know you were doing a bit of soul searching recently about your channel, please, please keep posting these videos, they really help. Bill (UK)

Shutterstock used to be on the top in terms of sales, but in the last few months Adobe surpassed it. It's also interesting to see how even if i have the same images on both, a part from the editorial ones, the top sellers are totally different. I've also been uploading consistently in Alamy over the past 2 years, and i've had some sporadic sale. Personally i don't spend too much time on it, i just upload the pictures and fine tune them from time to time, luckilythe upload process is very easy. But this month something magic happened and i sold 3 images for 320$ each! That was quiet motivating, so i will def continue uploading there. Too bad i can't know who bought them!

Could you tell me how to set the price for the photos, I thought that Alamy and all the stock pages set the price, what is the direct link to the Alamy prices section? I would like to set my own prices. Thank you for your help and for answering me.

Thanks Nicole. My main gig is real estate photography which slows down towards the end of the year so I popped on this video for inspiration. I sell on Shutterstock, Adobe, some on Blackbox and noththing on iStock. I'll be uploading more stock content over the slow months. If only keywording didn't take so long :)

We are just getting started with stock photography. I got a lot of good information from your video. Thanks

Thanks Nicole, for posting just the information I was looking into. I will try them both, and will share my experience. The very idea of you taking off to take pictures at Alamy's request with no contract sheds light on how this industry operates. We have to be more innovative at getting paid our effort's as we are creative with the content we create!

I've only uploaded to Shutterstock so far. I've got 59 photos loaded and had 10 sales for a total of $7.26. I'm happy with that though because it's focussed my mind on improving my commercial photography in general.

Love the live news story! I was in Hong Kong during the first round of protests and I had uploaded a bunch of photos from them. Alamy contacted me requesting more info and told me they were putting them out on the news feed and they seemed excited. I did not get any news sales from them. I sold some later including a book cover, but nothing at the time. Since they have been brought out, Live News access is much more limited. But Alamy is the only agency I really make money at. I have been there 16 years and should cross $500,000 in gross sales next month (around $225k net). Outside of Pond 5, I have not crossed $1,000 with any other agency.

Hello Nicole, enjoyed the Shutterstock VS. Alamy. I actually do up load to both but have stopped uploading to Alamy because of not having a single SALE on that platform to date. Although I find that shutterstock should be paying the artist more, my work sells a lot on Shutterstock. I mainly upload commercial work but have also sold editorial photos as well. On the other hand, I do upload to Adobestock and find that I make about 50% more money with them compared to shutterstock with much less downloads. AdobeStock pay’s artist more and tends to sell my photo’s at a higher price point. I started in the game much later, My first uploads in Stock was in August 2018 with steady growth each month. Thanks for the great video 👍🏼

Good mentorship video. I have had similar experiences over 2.5 years. Of all of the sites (Alamy, ShutterStock, Adobe, IStock/Getty etc) I have found ShutterStock (SS) is the volume site. So I upload all of my images there. If I have a very special image and my gut tells me that it is worth it I will add to all sites. But I watch my performance on SS and once I see an image that is constantly downloaded I will make sure I add it to all of the others. I think the theme of what you are getting at is how to best manage your time spent uploading images. There is definitely something to that. Keep up the videos as you are really building a nice collection of stock photographer lifestyle clips.

Hi, Really enjoy your videos and appreciate your sharing your wealth of knowledge regarding stock photography. I would like to get into stock photography but confused as to where to start, in particular what photos to upload for the initial screening. I have an library of over 20k photos of various subjects: landscapes, wildlife, flowers, trees, abstracts, etc. Is it better to upload beautiful images or the ones that are not so saturated and interesting but less glamorous? Or is it more important at the initial screening that they be good quality regardless of subject matter? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It all was true before June 2020. Now I’m refocusing on Alamy again

I have not sold a single image on Alamy yet. I don't have as many photos there as I do on Shutterstock, but still… On Adobe Stock I sell here and there. Definitely ShSt has been so far the best one for me. And BTW, something curious happened just last month: I had been steadily selling on average 20-30 USD a month on ShSt, but just as I cracked the 1500th upload mark, I jumped to 74 USD in Sept, and this month I already have 117 USD, and October isn't even over yet. Coincidence? I try to upload constantly, but I only do a few at once. Now I stand at 1535 images total.

Hey Nicole, love your work. Question. You speak of the platform, which WAY did you upload images to Alamy. Royalty Free or Rights Managed?

Hi Nicole, thanks for your sharing video. I have a question about the dimension and resolution. Can you give me the best resolution and dimension to upload on stock market? Thanks a lot

How do you caption your Shutterstock photos? Thanks! Your videos are so informative.

one is micro-stock so that really answers the question, one has a news service, one has contracts with uk newspapers

For myself, Alamy seems to be a harder to crack into. I believe that Alamy has more of a UK customer base and therefore my American images just don't seem to capture the attention. Shutterstock works better for me. I can relay on volume and repeat sales on Shutterstock. So, I am almost ready to give-up on Alamy.

Hi Nicole, thank you very much for all your information and advice. I registered as a contributor in Alamy few days ago, and I've seen the option of "distribution" that can be activated for all the accepted pictures, in my account config (another distribution partners channels to get more sales, I suppose). Do you recommend to use it?

I have tried so many platforms and I keep coming back to Shutterstock. It's just my workflow now. I know I should upload to as many sites as I can but I concentrate on Shutterstock and it pays off.

Hi, i sold 10 photos on Alamy last year and earned 170 $, this year i sold 7 photos and earned 236 $ but sales are rare. My best sales in 1-Istock 2-Shutterstock 3-Adobe 4-Alamy but not same amount of images and footages on them.

Hi Nicole it's a great video from you. I have a question, have you ever sell your commisioned photo's to microstock agency?

I have had a similar experience with Alamy. I have made a couple sales on there but nothing compared to Shutterstock. I have had people tell me that Alamy is sometimes better for newsworthy photos which my photos aren't so that could be why.

I'm not reading or watching before I guess Shutterstock. ... Now on to the video!

I signed up with iStock in 2007. All I had was a point and shoot camera which just didn’t cut it for stock back then. Fast forward to 2017 & semi-professional gear. I signed up with Alamy SS and a few others. Within a month one of my photos on Alamy sold for $250.00, was 50 50 split back then. Sold a few more on Alamy, my take was over $400.00 in several months. Alamy was way ahead of the pack. With in 2 years SS has finally caught up and surpassed Alamy in $$$. This year my sales on Alamy are very slow. SS on the other hand, sales are increasing every month.

Hi Nicole, I think there is one major thing you did not mention in this video. Alamy is a MACROstock site, while SS is a MICROstock site. It makes a really big difference. As you say, you started in 2017, so on Alamy 2 years time is not enough to judge anything. To compare a macro and a micro site is like comparing cats and dogs :-) And one more thing: I have heard that Alamy now performs better in the USA than in the UK...

I read their forum very often, and I meet there a lot of inspiring experience from contributors being on Alamy for several years. Another thing that may cause low sale number on Alamy comparing to SS (or other micro) is if you upload the same collection to both micro and macro sites. My personal experience: two of my niche photos were viewed on Alamy, then on the same day bought on SS for pennies. So it is obvious that customers search for the cheapest, if it is a niche photo they want. Maybe it was the case with your Trump photo? We don't know for sure, but could be. All the best for you!

I have been with Alamy since a few years after it started and the cut was then 60% to the photographer. It went down to 50% (16% cut)and the other year almost went down to 40% but stayed at 50% for exclusive images but from 1st June the photographer cut will be 30% for most people and 40% for those who have an annual turnover of more than $250. Also prices have been sliding down from $300+ to an average of $15. Alamy are not pros in any sense of the word. They will encourage you to chase anything in order to stock their site.

Adobe Stock can be great. But they do not accept editorial images. Considering the majority of what I shoot is editorial, it's hard to compare them. But for those people who shoot primarily commercial, I would highly recommend Adobe.

I think Adobe Stock take editorial but only if you are employed by Getty (or something like that).

Dear.miss my shutterstock account disable copyright videos issue kindly soultion

Alamy & Shutterstock have two very different business models, which is probably where the difference lies. Over a period of 7 years Alamy is lagging behind by 50% and I upload the same photos to both sites. Shutterstock is the winner! 😉 @TTStock

Nicole, do you get luck on your referral links? I managed to get some good blackbox referral subs but no luck on the shutterstock front.

Not really. I’ve had hundreds of sign ups but most people make accounts and never really upload much
