How was your March 2024
Doc replied to gvallee's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
40 licences for a gross of $1310. Rescued by an infringement sale of $487. (Thanks Alamy). Two other more normal $$$ sales, best $192 for a television use. CTR 0.79 which is a marginal improvement on the last few months. Zoom numbers which have been very poor for the last few momnths seem to be slowly increasing; at least back to first half of 2023 levels. I agree with those who suggested threre have been fewer newspaper sales etc at the end of March due to the Easter weekend. Hiopefully we may see those coming through later this week.... Happy Easter everybody! Kumar -

How was your February 2024?

Don't be disheartened - you have some very good images in your collection. 1. When I search for Baby giraffe your older two images come up on page 1 and page 3 of the search. That is because you have the phrase "baby giraffe" in both the keywords and the caption. This helps image placement. In your more recent images "baby giraffe" as a two word phrase does not appear in the caption. 2. Make sure important search terms are super-tags in your keywords 3. Wildlife images are among the most difficult to sell as there are a lot of extremely good professional wildlife photographers selling on Alamy 4. "baby" , although it should appear in the keywords is not the best way to keyword these images - The most important keyword I believe, is "young" and you haven't got this in your keywords or captions at all. Good luck! Kumar -
Measures not working yet again
Doc replied to Doc's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
As of this morning measures seems to be playing up worse again. Numbers of zooms are recorded but when clicked on to see which image has been zoomed, the ubiquitous "Sorry, we've encountered an unexpected error" message comes up again. I will message Contributor help. 😒 Kumar -
