Avpics Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Having been told that some overdue sales would be included in February I chased them up as still unreported to be told: "The month of February finished yesterday and due to the shorter length of the month the team have not long received the usage report so these uses haven’t been billed yet. The sales should appear within your account early this month." So no, February isn't over already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyAppleRed Images Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 5 in the month despite views and zooms still being down. Mix of low to middling amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 12 mostly low fee newspaper sales for £196 gross. So so disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 3 sales for $18, $9, $9 I am happy to have actually made sales after a huge lull since November but Just for comparison I got $ 330 on Just one microstock site for multiple sales, some big, some small. An unusually high month but nevertheless I couldn’t survive without it. I just wish Alamy got us better prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Heinrich Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Very poor month with just two PU sales for $28 gross. Views and zooms dropped since end of January as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

October 4 is my oldest at the moment. Quite normal. It's a lot less now than it used to be. Even distributor's sales clear within a couple of months nowadays. Well mostly. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 20 hours ago, Reimar said: February is gone. So is winter in Toronto, apparently. Decent number of sales this month (17), but oh my goodness, very low amounts (down to $3.52 gross) for a total of $345. Minus a refund of $115 from back in December. Argghh! Couldn't agree more, Reimar. 71 sales here, but only 1 in $$$ ($160); total gross $1778 - poorest average figures ever for me at $25/sale gross Zooms good though at 239 with CTR of 0.67 Kumar (the Doc one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shantz Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 A slow month, but still better than last February, so there is still plenty of hope for the year. 4 sales for $239.61 / $109.69 ( gross / net ). High 149.00/74.50, low two presentations at 19.99/10.00 Much lower views and zooms with 2915 / 13 for a CTR of 0.45 (only slightly lower than average on the CTR).

There's gotta be something Wim's not telling us. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Ten for $655 (thus far!). Bit of an odd month. One sale $400, five low value web uses, just one PU (unusually low for me) and the balance book uses around $60. Zooms average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no good at judging which images will sell and which wont, so so long as things are going OK I will just keep on with it since I am still enjoying it! (and the travelling!) Just goes to show there's more than one way to skin a cat ( no insult to cats!) Cheers Kumar (the Doc one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vpics Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Better than December and January. Average amount $39.30 - with five (unexpected) sales over $100 and nine (unfortunate) sales under $10. An okay month. Slightly above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abiyoyo Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 5 sales for $61, mostly Newspaper. Better than the poor January but far less than the same months of last year. Zooms average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertSnapper Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 8 for $278. Plus I had a refunded one (early January refund) reinstated. I found it being used. Must of been a clerical error I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannachy Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Total Views : 613 Total Zooms : 3 Total CTR : 0.49 And one sale that came through on the 28th, and a 160 images uploaded. Slowly but surely. Given the number of hours I've spent here I still haven't earnt much more than one hours pay in my regular work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
