Broad Norfolk

5 for 89 gross. Views consistent, zooms still rising and CTR now around the Alamy average. 😐

Disappointing 3 licences for less than $$$ gross and one refund. Views and zooms both up by around 30% so maybe not all that bad. Jim 😏

Just notified of QC pass this afternoon the 26th March. All systems go now!! Jim

Thanks for your feedback Dave and Tony. Just have to be a little patient!

My turn for a QC delay. Has anyone else had this problem this week? I made a submission on the morning of Tuesday 23rd March and am still awaiting outcome. My normal response is around 24 hrs. The upload was strange in that it was very slow and after 4 images out of 10 the upload froze. I reconnected and uploaded the remaining 6 and these have stayed in QC ever since. Just hanging on now so I can continue with more submissions. Jim 😏

Odd things do happen every now and then. My uploads normally go and complete QC on a next day basis. However, my last upload of 10 images on the morning of the 23rd March stopped/froze after uploading 4 images and I had to do an extra submit to upload the remaining 6. Uploading was extremely slow. They are still in QC at this time and not moving. I am just being patient but, as we do, will not upload any more until these have cleared. Jim.

A bit like 'after the Lord Mayors show' for me this month. Three sales, one of which was immediately refunded on the same day. Zooms and views both well up so here's hoping coming into the last week of the month. 😏

Thanks for the spot, Gillian. Jim

My best monthly quantity to date at 9 sales. Revenue was $291 gross. Views consistent but zooms down around 30%.

I am a list person! When the lockdown has relaxed enough so I can leap in the car and get around my local patch again I will back into list mode. I have found that no list usually means I end up with a thoroughly unproductive session so I plan a route and list various subjects such a view points, historic features, villages, and the like. It works for me. It's also helpful in that I can identify what I've covered before. After fifteen years or so of doing this it stops me repeating subjects! The memory fades!!

A sale posted this morning got me to the landmark sales accumulative total of $10K. It's taken 15 or so years and I'm nearly up to 11K images. The last three years have been fairly consistent with an average sale of one per week - it will be nice to see this continue! Jim

Sea Thrift, Armeria maritima, it certainly is, Colin. Just as a footnote, the Isle of Skye is one of my favourite places in the UK and I like to get there every year but this hasn't been possible since 2019 because of Covid. I did visit Elgol at the time. I see a nice blue sky in your image - I had to manage low cloud and rain. But it's still beautiful whatever the weather! Jim.

Quiet month here. Just 3 sales for $90 gross. Views, zooms, and CTR have all maintained a consistent level. 😐

Following on from my best year ever in 2019 it's a bit like after the Lord Mayor's show this time:- Sales down 6% Views down 7% Zooms down 7% CTR up 6% And horror above horrors, Revenue was down 47% Grit your teeth and carry on! Jim 😏

Second worst month of the year for me. Just 3 licences for $$. Views consistent but zooms down almost 50%. Jim 😏
