NYCat Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Very impressive, Tony, and such good advice. I took a quick look and all your images are quality images. I'm sure you are right that it has paid off to edit your images very tightly. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 A sale came in today that nudged me over the $60K total gross earnings bar. It took me more than eight years. I've always been a slow earner. Merci beaucoup, Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlMillerPhotos Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Not sure if you guys are inspiring me or depressing me. Hope I get to that point some day!! I apparently have no natural talent at anything, so everything I do seems to be a struggle. But I refuse to give up this photography thing. It's about the only passion in life I have left these days.

Don't fret Carl it's early days yet, your passion will help, just get out and take photos wherever you can. It took me years to get the hang of it, especially photoshop, which I'm still learning! I can honestly say I've never ever taken a photograph that I'm 100% happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Gillis Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 A sale this morning makes my 2016 volume total a record high. Revenue, however........er.......I'll keep it positive. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Just had a sale drop in for $52, not a lot, but it keeps me enthused and wanting to do more. What's even better is, the picture was essentially a snap/grab shot with no planning involved at all! I'm feeling great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be 100%, just enough to pay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbimages Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 For the first time (that I can remember), my Alamy account balance is over $1,000. It looks rather nice! And with over $650 cleared, I'll get a nice pre-Xmas payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borys Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Perhaps now so impressive, but still a positive result for me: after being an Alamy member for 1 year + 1 month (and starting to lose hope), I've got my first sale! $20 is not much, but still better than $0 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first sale came after 4 months and a couple of hundred images, and was for a measly $10.68, but it was still a sale and I was thrilled! Hopefully your sale will encourage you to shoot more stock, upload it and achieve more sales! Well done again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famousbelgian Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Two sales of $225 each today from North America. They don't come along every month but they do make up for the sub-$10 sales you get every now and then ! Thank you Alamy. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Palmer Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Up until 9 days ago I couldn't complain about the value of my sales.There were one or two low ones but my average sale based on three years of sales is $100. I’ve had two sales in 9 days which normally would make me very happy but the first was for $1.41 gross to India and the second one today is an RM distributor sale for $4.15 that nets me just $1.24. That means I'm netting $1.94 for two sales. I don't mind taking one for the team once in a while but there are no good sales to offset these. Is this the new normal?
