I finally feel like I might have gotten out of microstock - and into a more proper stock agency after being accepted by Alamy!

My question now is about licensing. What are the major differences to consider between rights managed (RM) and royalty free (RF)?

Initially, I would like to license my images in the more favorable to the buyer - to increase my sales. Everything will be a major improvement over microstock and so I am willing to "undercut" myself for some initial sales (will help my momentum/confidence/et​c!!)

What do you guys think I should do?

IME, royalty free may sell a greater quantity of images but the price you get for 'em will be quite low. For the most part, I avoid royalty free....but that's just me :)
