Stokie replied to Roy Q's question in Community support: ask the forum
Yes I'm having problems too. I also had to login to Alamy again, something I haven't had to do for a long time. AIM worked after 4 or 5 attempts. I'm having problems with Redbubble as well so thought it was just me having problems. John. PS Redbubble problems user error!!! -
Measures Again

Yes, I've had zooms every working day for the last 3 weeks (and 2 days)! John. -
Measures Again
Stokie replied to ReeRay's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I had a zoom added to my total in measures yesterday but it wasn't recorded in the itemised daily list. I only found out what it was by clicking on my total number, so something still isn't right with measures. John. -

Measures Again
Stokie replied to ReeRay's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I hadn't noticed that! Mine is 0.60 on the dashboard and 0.08 in measures, so that explains why I'm still getting views and sales - but not why there's no zooms. John. -
It might be advantageous to register as self employed in any case as you can claim legitimate expenses against the amount of tax you pay. So you can claim for cameras, lenses etc and 'office' expenses such as computers and printers - even car mileage! It's quite easy to fill in the forms online. I have a spreadsheet of ins and outs. I used to itemise everything but now I just do an income minus expenditure return which is quick and simple. John.

I had 1151 views yesterday, which is about 7% of my portfolio, (including a search which returned only 4 images, all mine), and yet I didn't have a single zoom!! My CTR is now down to 0.08, the lowest since I started submitting 17 years ago. John. -
How was your October 2024?
Stokie replied to Cryptoprocta's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Not too bad - 20 sales for $489. Both figures the best for the last 12 months. Lowest: $3.13. Highest: $129.00 DACs pay-out through Alamy for TV sales of $4.01(!!), but I do claim myself and got 243.50 pounds. No need to mention views and zooms - therefore, CTR the lowest since I started 17 years ago! Oh well onwards and downwards! John. -

Same here - no zooms since the 15th. Luckily sales and views are doing OK. John. -

Not had a zoom since the 16th October. From the 1st to the 15th there were only 4 days where I didn't have any zooms. John. -
Positive Results 2024
Stokie replied to aphperspective's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Despite it being a poor month so far, at least a $144 direct sale dropped in this morning! John. -

Paulette, Thanks for pointing that out to me. I only rarely look at the forum and missed the conversation. I'm still convinced my images aren't being seen in searches as reflected in a very low number of sales. I think the whole system needs scrapping and starting all over again! John.
