Lagging Behind in Tagging?
Doc replied to Ed Rooney's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I do the same Edo - always have. It is probably not the most efficient way of doing it, but I find it easier to do in AIM, and I am not selling my images through any other outlet so that benefit of tagging before uploading is not relevant to me Kumar -
$250,000 gross income reached.
Doc replied to Doc's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Not at all, but I started back in 2004 and have over 26K images on sale now. At the start things were slow, but I did get some sales and was determined to not give up. I was inspired by others who had already done well, particularly the sadly late Keith Morris (RedSnapper) who many on the forum will know, who famously used his Alamy income to pay off his mortgage/buy his house. Gives you something to aim at! Very much more difficult now, if starting relatively recently, It is very much a numbers game, though decent images and particularly good keywording -
Your Last Sales
Doc replied to rickygui's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Alamy sales can be very much up and down in terms of numbers till you have a large number of images on sale. They will pick up! Kumar -

seems to be continuing as normal here (well, the "new normal") Kumar -
Colin - really sorry to hear this news. Hope things turn out OK - they often have a habit of doing so. Here's my three; 1. Broken down safari vehicle with a pride of lions not far off! 2. Broken Sainsbury's supermarket (sign) 3. Old broken rusting cars in the rainforest, Guatemala Best wishes Kumar

How was your August 2020?
Doc replied to VbFolly's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
57 sales for a gross of $1642 - including 4 in the low $$$ range, best were two both at $150. Lowest number of views of the year so far, at 20,100 but zooms not bad at 152 so CTR 0.76 Interestingly, a rather better month than August 2019 for sales and income Overall, figures generally only around 75% of "normal" Kumar -
Just looking at some of the enormous numbers of Alamy images found in these recent threads, I must thank all those who so diligently search the web and papers/mags to bring these to our attention. Great work! Thank you! Kumar
