Free Collection Pros and Cons

I checked into my Dashboard just now and found I have assets eligible for Adobe's Free Collection. This is my first experience with this. I am a bit confused, and I do not know if this is something that contributors usually pursue or participate in.

 

The image I get from reading descriptions about this is as follows, and I am wondering if my understanding is correct.

 

If nominated assets are chosen, ...

1) contributors will receive a one time payment of $4 per asset for the Annual Free Collection, and

2) contributors will receive a one time payment of $10 per asset for the Perpetual Free Collection

 

So, does above mean that assets, if chosen, will no longer generate any other sales outside of the one time payment received for being selected for the above Free Collections?

 

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Click on the Learn More link and you'll see a FAQ page that answers all your questions. Your chosen assets are not available to earn additional royalties during the year in which they are in the Free Collection. As @RALPH_L  indicated, all nominated assets are not automatically chosen for the collection. 5-10% might be chosen, so I usually nominate all of them.

Correct, if chosen the asset will nolonger generate royalties for the time it is offered in the free collection. It is a personal choice. You must determine if the asset is worth more to you than what Adobe is willing to pay. Remember, the asset must be chosen. Not all nominated assets will be chosen.
