John Mitchell Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I guess it's my turn to ask the inevitable question. My August turned out to be a very good month with 17 RM sales for about $1140 gross. Prices were all over the lot, but I guess that isn't exactly breaking news. Zooms remained healthy, and I have a bigger than usual monthly payment coming, which will help my sagging bottom line. If I had one wish, it would be that my newer images would sell even half as well as my older ones. Merci again, Alamy. P.S. I'm also celebrating my fifth consecutive sin-bin-free month.

Craig Yates Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 8 for $369. Zooms very healthy but 7 out of the 8 sales were never zoomed. Regards Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Well done John. Another lackluster month for me: 6 RF (with the highest sale at $295) and 2 RM (including the lowest sale of $6.54 to India) for only $588. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid that the only thing we have in common, John, is our sagging bottom line (avoid looking down!) :D . That and our footsteps across Central American bridges! An increasing number of zooms, including a fistful of zooms by ref #, is the only thing that's keeping me afloat this month. Zero sales. EDIT: Hey! 1,000 posts - do I get a bonus at the end of the year for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abiyoyo Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 For me better than July, no sales, with I suppose just only one, although for the moment is showing two sales of the same image. I will see if some zooms are converting in sales next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Convery Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 A slow month, about half the usual $$ 8 for $161 gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 2 for $165. Lots of zooms this month. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Endicott Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Not a good month at all. -2 images licensed (two refunds) ending the month with -$200 ...and for the third month in a row I'm still sitting on an uncleared balance of $75 (nothing cleared this month for me for some odd reason).

Michael Ventura Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 August was my third worst month this year, right behind July.....beat July by 4$! Had 12 sales for $717. I am hopeful for things to improve soon since my Alamy Measures show that August had the best stats since October 2013. Luckily I have a fairly busy month ahead with shoots scheduled! Hopefully some will produce some good stock too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Three sales (two textbooks and one newspaper), with about 1,000 for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 August sure was lean and mean to me. Have to go back 18 months for a month that was worse. 9 for $400 weird month: 3 on day 1; 6 on the 28th and 29th. Lowest: $ 8.27 UK Highest: $ 91.98 Germany wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Third best month ever, as I had another commercial sale extended for another year. High 4 figures. Should add "fingers crossed for no refunds ...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Like others above, a good number of zooms, third month in a row with a high comparative CTR. Sales better than July, 4 (RM), but the only one above $18 gross was distributor, so only $66.66 net total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 A fraction above average number of sales - 7. Below average prices, only $240 in total. A late flurry of zooms made my CTR the best since May 2011. I know it's small beer compared to a lot on here but I broke through 50 sales for the year for the first time (54) and my total sales broke through 200 at 201. Total revenue for the year already the best ever. All in all fairly optimistic. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 7 sales just shy of $500 - pretty poor. Zooms were well above par so hopefully there is some light at the end of the tunnel. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyAppleRed Images Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 2 for $60. Now on the same number of sales as last year with a third of the year to go and a few known to be in the pipeline. Zooms reasonable too, so optimistic!

Duncan_Andison Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Gross = Below Average Net = Above Average Vol = Average Zooms down but then again, most of the sales over the last 6 months seem to be from images that weren't zoomed?!? Overall, 2014 is approaching double that of 2013 in terms of volume and $'s....not to bad then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladikirn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Not as warm as July. Occasionally windy but some opportunities for fishing anyway. Frees-box filed with mackerel and cod . 6 sales that grossed up much less then one average sale for 6 years ago. And, well, this 6 sales would hardly buy me 6 mackerels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
