  1. $10.83 2021 $7.75 2022 It has been dropping gradually since 2018. I currently have 26 sales more than last year but am only £100 up in the amount I have been paid.
  2. Mine also in, down to £86 from £110 last year and lowest since 2018. Annoying but still money for nowt at the end of the day.
  3. My last 4 sales have all been in the $1,45 ballpark. 5 sales this month will net me around £7. In 2013, my average sale was $38 and has steadily dropped each year (apart from a one-year glitch). This year the average is $8.22
  4. Strange the way these things go. In 2020 and 2021 I had shockingly bad starts to the year but this year is numerically my best ever start with 12 to date (5 Jan, 7 Feb). I didn't get to 12 until July last year. It is almost pushing me to start uploading again. At least until the next $0.89 sale comes in!
  5. Six years ago today I had a sale for $278.01 - my second highest ever. Today? A DOOH for $0.88, my first ever under one dollar. And there was me thinking about starting to upload again after a long break...
  6. I posted on another thread recently that I was just about done with Alamy. I most certainly am now.
  7. Not so much a rut as a Marianas Trench. I have only put one batch up since all this fun began and my sales have dropped through the floor. I cannot even recall a single view on any in that batch. I am averaging one sale a month when before it was one a week. Not great by some standards, but I was happy with that. Given the diminishing returns, I think I'm done here. We are on holiday soon but the motivation to seek out "Alamy shots" is just not there anymore. If any future sales pop up, all well and good but I feel my keywording days are done.
  8. Just a single click to get into Lightboxes from the Dashboard link and another click to create a new one (+ box top right of screen). It would help if there was an easier way of adding images though. I use mine to keep track of potential DACS-eligible images (on the rare occasions these days I make such as sale!) and to see if zooms have resulted in sales. It would be nice to have an 'add to lightbox' option on the Sales History and Zoom screens.
  9. A stellar month for me - 2 for $25. But only given that the previous 3 months combined were 1 for $11 ;o( I know it has been mooted on here over the years that if you do not upload any images, your rating will fall and there will be less exposure. I only uploaded one set last year given the circumstances, so not sure if that has any bearing on it. Zooms are looking better, but 3 in four months is pretty depressing when I averaged one a week between 2017 and March last year.
  10. Nothing for me since Mid November. Longest dead period since late 2012.
  11. I managed one batch of 21 after a holiday in September. I largely rely on London for the majority of my images and have not been in for almost a year now. I know there are opportunities galore in there at the moment but I don't feel an hour each way on a train is either essential or justified, especially when my favourite watering holes are boarded up. Luckily I am at the stage of my life where I can let the images come to me, so am not overly bothered. Even keywording 21 seemed like a chore in the end!
  12. Pretty grim - worst year for 5 years. Running at 65% of the last three years in sales but at roughly the same average price. Nothing for six weeks - longest period I can recall since sales became regular. When the payment comes in for Jan, I will only have one sale uncleared. It is so bad that even the latest one has cleared! Oh well, onwards and upwards. Maybe this year I can get more than one batch uploaded which may help. Good luck to all for the coming year - stay safe and sell well!
  13. Four for $190 gross, so best month for a while, but still only at 65% of the last few years.
  14. I've had 2 in Sept (following 4 in August), but only for $13 combined.
