Not very excited with the amount BUT they come with the title of the book included! Helpful for DACS claims. Had one of those yesterday, for a book about Canada. Both sales and zooms have picked up within the last week, so a bit of a surge happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFL Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 A couple of days ago, 7 sales were reported which I was very happy about. But at closer look, it was just one image purchased 7 times by the same buyer, of which prices range from $48 to $96 (distribution sales). What bothers me is the identical licence details, ie, usage, media, print no, duration, etc. are the same. I sent an email to MS and asked if these are destined for refunds but had no reply (48 hours) which is very unusual. Can anyone guess what is going on? I am not holding my breath just in case. But it would be a shame if 8 of those are to be refunded..... Sung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe as they are distribution sales, Alamy have to await a response from their distribution partner before they can give you a reply ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFL Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 You are right, Albert. I am too impatient, aren't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Last day of the month and as yet no newspaper Live or scheme sales reported. Without them my graph will show a drop in revenue from last month from roughly the same quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None for me either yet and I know there must be some since I had to let Alamy know about unreported uses last month. Leaving it to the last minute I guess, but normally they appear a day or two before the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasilnut Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Not quite a surge but I'll take it: $112 for this RM baby. Almost a year since uploaded and has finally sold...just shows this is such a long-term game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise next month's figures will get an early boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Passing mid-day and the database hasn't updated yet either. Have they overslept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 A couple of mid-$$ travel marketing sales this morning, see "sold images" thread. Best fee for a couple of months. Stuttgart and Toulouse, the latter from our hotel window, and one of my favourite subjects. Brutalism rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCUM Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Had nothing all month until the 20th, and was starting to get concerned, then had 15 sales over the following week so reasonably happy. Some low values though and a couple of presentation licenses which seem ropey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The Sun has reported some live news images. That’s all so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I've had some come in, one of which I know was in the Sun. I know of at least one in the Guardian too, still waiting for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download the report, that'll tell you. I have two now; one Telegraph $$$ live news and one $ old image newspaper scheme. More would be welcome but that's helped bring the month up to middling rather than poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It just keeps the worm dangling in front that there are more than just Bulk discount sales and Eastern European web sites out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramsay Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 4 more today - all small, but never mind - shaping up to be a very good month. No update of the image base yet though, as far as I can see Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I've had 4 sales today, only 1 of which was a newspaper sale. 1 was a high $$ TV use, all the others were $. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptoprocta Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Mini surge today, 3 UKNS and another. Wish I could find the 'other'. It's a photo of a nondescript (AFAIK) pub (I took it because of the nice hanging baskets and window boxes outside), which was specifically searched for by name. Can't find it on GIS, though. Just curious about the story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Up until a few minutes ago my sales for the month were 3 for $27. I've just looked again and that's rocketed to 13 for $585 gross! Go me and Alamy!!! How's that for a surge?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickfly Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I've opened Lightroom a couple of times today and it's reported an increase in sales total, but no sign on Alamy until this evening with a late surge of 7 licences, bring a total of 11 for November.
