25 sales for $674 gross - a reasonable average for me Alex

Much too often Alex

$119 direct sale just dropped in Alex

Positive news, please! Alex

I don't think I'm a 'good performer' - just a recent run of luck - but I'm definitely exclusive to Alamy Alex

Another good month, by my standards - 29 sales for $1124 Alex

$250 sale this morning. Distributor, but never mind Alex

Congratulations! Out of curiosity, are they pics of related subjects, or a random collection? Alex

Halfway through the year, and almost exactly half last year's totals for sales and revenue. It seems unlikely, given everything that's been going on, but it looks as if it may be a pretty normal year as far as picture sales go. Alex

Well, with the same number of images (all exclusive to Alamy), I did . . . and I imagine there are plenty of others quietly doing the same Alex

Sorry to hear it, Marb - it sounds as though you've really been through the mill

I would dispute this - with a similar portfolio size, my net returns, solely from Alamy, match your total returns from Alamy and SS combined, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I've never seen any reason to sell pics to the micros, thus driving down prices for everyone else, and I certainly don't intend to start now. Alex

Very good - 30 sales for $999 exactly. A much better month than I had been expecting. Alex

Sales for the month totalling exactly $999 as of last night, which is satisfying - one tiny further sale to break the four-figure bar would be nice Alex

Probably more - no commercial work, of course, but I carry a camera more often than usual while out volunteering as I try to record life under lockdown in our very small town - which actually looks very similar to life here before lockdown Alex
