You beat me Marb! I had one PU for $14.72.

I'm so sorry for your loss Ed.

Thanks. I am feeling optimistic as things can only go up from here 😃.

Zero, zilch, nada! The first month with no licenses in several years. December's CTR the lowest in 2020 as well.

Thanks for the useful tips Wim. I finally went back and fixed a couple of my images. Cheers, Maria

Mine is following a similar trajectory John. Sept-Dec my CTR has been .52, .53, .49 and .25 for this month. Lowest in over a year, and not a sale yet this month.

I notice my images above are looking a little squished. Maybe changes to the forum website has altered how images show up and the way I usually post them (drag them over) isn't the best. What is the current recommended way to post them? Thanks. Maria

I like this topic Bella! I find repeating patterns (especially colourful ones) to be so visually appealing.

I came here to ask the same question. I had 2 refunds for UK travel guide images licensed in June. Both were of Victoria, BC.

5 licenses, so it was a pretty good month for me. Prices not the greatest, 2 PUs, 2 magazines (Ok $$), and one editorial (sad $).

Pretty. Is it your plant?

Hi Kamira, Most of my alamy sales this year are of images I uploaded in previous years. It can take a while before someone is looking for what you have in your portfolio. As has been mentioned, keywording is very important. Always include plurals of objects, even if there is only one in your image. For example, if someone was looking for an image of "antique vehicles in Cuba", they wouldn't find your nice image 2D4MRM0 of an antique car in Havana, because you only have the singular "vehicle" in the keywords. Maria

Here's one: A beautiful sunset on the water, as captured by this cell phone camera.

I had a sale drop in today.

Yes, I always keyword for plural objects, even if there is just one in the image.

Thanks so much Dave! My mom's cross-stitch made it to television, wow. She passed away last year so knowing her work appeared on the telly makes me happy. Maria

Three for me as well. Two were distributor sales, including a decent calendar sale.

So many great ones to choose from, congrats to all the finalists!

This was a sale to a German distributor today for a travel guide. Low-Mid $$

Thanks!

Image 2AX5KN6 I don't think I've had a UK television sale before. Happy that my mom's needlepoint will be on TV! If someone happens to see this on the telly (likely around Christmas), would you let me know?

No sales for a month and then this plum calendar sale showed up, low $$$. Too bad it's not direct, it's to a Canadian distributor.

This is a great season for orange! An spooky looking tree with scary skies. Pumpkins at a farm stand in rural Ontario My sweet (and late) orange and white kitty.

My sales are too sporadic to be a regular dopamine hit. But it is nice to see the cleared balance jump higher a few times as it has this week.
