Very happy to have discovered that with only 82 pics uploaded, I've actually sold one. Couple of things I didn't realise...

1. I have to hit $250 of sales before I get paid so another however long wait for the next sale!
and
2. It wasn't until I checked back that I saw the sale, I would have thought alamy would have a system in place to email sale info to contributors.

Anyway, that's all folks!

Congratulations, HoddoHappy on your first sale; that must have been a wonderful moment to experience. My joyous moment will be when I get off dial-up service and finally get high-speed internet.

I believe the "first sale" tradition calls for the passing out of new "L" lenses to everyone on the ForumCheeky smiley Excused from this tradition are those forum members whose forum log-in name begins with a G. Oh, you were SO close!

Yay!! It is indeed a very gratifying experience. Nice to know that some complete stranger responds to your work enough to pay for it. Congrats! Happy

Not wanting to dampen your enthusiasm but it's actually $250 in cleared funds after Alamy have taken their 40%...
