Peter Jordan Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 January - June 2012 29 sales for $1664.07 (Gross) January - June 2013 33 sales for $1422.46 (Gross) Number of images added during the 12 months 1038. Increase in number of images on sale 16% Increase in number of sales 14% Increase in gross earnings -14% I am not unhappy because now and again, I get one good sale and that makes a big positive difference. It did not happen in either of these periods. I do not do the Lottery and I cashed in my Premium bonds, Alamy "Summary of items sold" is an excellent substitute for these...

dov makabaw Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Good topic John, prompted me to take stock (pardon the pun). Excluding NU My gross revenue is down13.5% while the quantity is down 3.5%. My average revenue per image is down from $68 to $61. Not a pretty sight!! dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wzfoto Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I think some contributors who have experienced lower sales have given up and moved elsewhere, which may be why the poll result is skewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin P Wilson Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 In the first half of my first full year with Alamy (2003) I grossed almost 7 times what I achieved ths year! |Bear in mind that at the time I was receiving 70% of the gross as well so I banked around 10 times what I received this year. Take inflation into account and it is nearer 15 times less purchasing power from Alamy this year. I know I still do not have a lot of images but I have been adding a steady flow of pictures each year, just can't get inspired to put a lot of effort into it. My photography efforts are largely going elsewhere.- I am working on my new business plan as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
