Stokie Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Mine was a mixed bag - only 1 sale ($51) after 7 in March and a BME 8 in February. But i've had the most views i've ever had in a month since I started and zooms are holding up. I also went up a couple of pages on BHZ to page 2 and I got a payout, so not all bad news. I'll just have to keep uploading! John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 March and April both pretty good. Not life-changing sums, but encouraging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gaffen Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 March was good for me , but April was zilch, nada, nothing, with my CZT dropping through the floor! On the positive side, I've just made a good sale this morning (01.05.13)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Not too bad: 9 sales $569 3,900 images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Limb Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 April 2013 - Best month ever on Alamy; zooms up a massive amount - but they do not always covert to sales - in fact few sales are zoomed! Only two sales but high, total sales = the best month ever Will it be the same in May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inchiquin Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 April 2013 - Best month ever on Alamy Ditto. After nearly five years. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gaffen Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Tony, forgive me for asking this, but your Alamy portfolio says you have 413 images, how do you get to a total of 3,900? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milouvision Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Tony, forgive me for asking this, but your Alamy portfolio says you have 413 images, how do you get to a total of 3,900?

Jose Elias Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Absolutely HORRID! The worst month since March 2009. Only 5 sales that when I subtract the alamy and distributor's share leave me image commissions smaller than my "Single Downloads" and Extended Licenses programs at Shutterstock. So, at this point I'm having sales with a higher price in microstock than with alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Bargate Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 My best month - 7 sales for a gross $331 from about 1,700 images. Not a get rich quick scheme but added to other sources it is a useful contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyAppleRed Images Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 A couple of reasonable sales for $122 gross. My second sentence could be word for word what Quentin said above really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidC Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Above average numbers - half value of sales - about a of third payments are now micro levels - mostly newspapers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christian58 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 No this time I am definetely going to have to re-think my plans. Cant understand it really, my other RF outlet is always a four-figured amount, every single month and in RM, its just lightyears above, but here at Alamy it just doesnt seem to match any of the input. Sure most RM/RF is customer type orientated and its pretty clear that here they have their set type of buyers, lots of editorial, landscapes, travel, etc, etc. Thats great but its of no use to me. Apart from that its a great and friendly place and worth being a member of just for the sake of that. In future though I think I have to put all my RF/RMs, in one place only.

Vincent Lowe Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 10 sales - $629.34 This new forum is a pain - I've just typed a load of stuff, hit the return key, then the delete key to remove one space, and it's deleted the whole lot.

losdemas Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 10 sales - $629.34 This new forum is a pain - I've just typed a load of stuff, hit the return key, then the delete key to remove one space, and it's deleted the whole lot. What the hell's going on...? Don't wish to take this thead OS, but yes, it is a pain. It's to do with the way the coding is structured. There is a very limited 'code view' button (top left of the formatting toolbar) which (ironically) actually hides much of the code produced. Anyhow, you can use it, and you can also use limited functions used in MS word etc. such as CTRL + Z to undo while you're typing. You could add tidying this up to the Suggestions & Ideas > The Forum forum, if you're so inclined... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addict Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 improvement over many months but I don't think it will last; it's the spring rush to buy images; soon be over; low prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kilpatrick Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Seventeen sales, though with one long dry period in the middle of the month, not quite into $ four figures. I was looking at the uses involved, and reckon that ten years ago for the same actual set of uses, I'd have been seeing about $1500-2000 back to me. Spring rush to buy images? New on me.

Pearl Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 46 licenses which is 1/3 down on last month but almost same $$ (due to one decent sale) and equals second BME for numbers. Still some annoyingly low values especially from distributors which means they are hardly worth having. Not in NU but in newspaper scheme. CTR dropping like a stone though so not optimistic about the future. Although not all sales have been zoomed I do find there is a correlation if I look back far enough. Might be the new interface but others are reporting more zooms recently. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSnapper Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 others are reporting more zooms recently. yes, more of them in general , and more consistency too.....far fewer 'erratic' days...... km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York Photographer Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 18 sales, one in three figures, just about enough to cover my lottery tickets! The question is can my lottery habit cover my alamy habit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 April was very average with 15 sales for $1,249. Highest sale was $250 and lowest $6.24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter t Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 52 images sold in April, with some into three figures [$], not a record but better than sales in Feb/March. Very rarely does a zoomed image of mine sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
