Reimar Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 December was a good month for me: 21 sales for $1062. 2018 was better than 2017, but that's not saying much ('17 was my worst month ever). This years' 196 sales for $8178 gross was still worse than my results back to 2006 when I started in earnest. I also did something I thought I'd never do, but Alamy made me do it: I started with a MS site. Only $10 net so far, but with holidays and only a few hundred images, I'm hopeful. Happy New Year everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramsay Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 December was on the good side of average for me, 26 sales for $898 gross. 2018 showed a very slight increase in sales and a tiny drop in gross revenue over 2017, with 270 sales for $9644 gross. The steeply ascending curve of the last few years has definitely flattened out. Happy New Year! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 50 minutes ago, John Morrison said: For bigger collections, Alamy will make all pix exclusive with a press of the big red button... Unfortunately, not all of mine are exclusive - I have to find out which ones are. Some subjects I only send to Alamy, so they were easy to do by pseudo, but the rest will take some checking. I wouldn't want to be dishonest or inaccurate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 December average with 69 sales for $1645 gross - poor average of $24 per image sold. Only 2 sold for $$$ views and zooms about the same as previous Decembers which is always a slow month presumably due to many bank holidays and slowing for X'mas full 2018 stats to follow Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Douglas Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Best month ever for revenue, 8 sales for $423 gross, including one $250 sale, again my highest ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 December was a good month for volume, but amounts were quite low. 5 for $76 gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 December was my worst month of 2018 with 6 sales for $108. I've been averaging 14 sales a month and only need 10 in December to pass 2018 sales amount of 163 for the year, but I fell short by 3, so 160 for the year. John.

Doc Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Here's some stats which may be of interest to the more OCD challenged of you (ie. like me) - in terms of Image sales according to their age on Alamy for this year: A images (ie images whose 6 digit identification starts with A) A images make up 10.8% of my collection, but only accounted for 2% of sales in 2018 B images: 17.3% of the collection, made up 15.6% of sales C images: 18% of the collection, made up 24.6% of sales D images 12.5% of the collection but accounted for 22% of the sales E images make up 8.8% of the collection and accounted for 14.2% of sales F images account for 4.2% of the collection and 8% of sales G images make up 3.4% of my collection and accounted for 3.1% of sales H images make up 5% of collection and account for 3.1% of sales J images are 2.16% of the collection and accounted for 1.52% of sales K images are 4.12% of the collection and accounted for 1.3% of sales M images make up 4.15% of my collection and accounted for 2.8% of sales P images make up 2.48% of the collection and accounted for 0.5% of sales R images (the present initial letter) make up 1.41% of the collection and accounted for 0 (0%) of sales Total number in the collection is 25,000 as close as makes no difference. Total number of sales in 2018 was 856 Seems to me the oldest images (ie. prefix A) did badly considering the numbers that there are, but C, D, E and F, prefixes punched well above their weight in terms of proportions of sales. B and G prefixes were approximately what you would expect, and from H onwards sales were less well represented, perhaps because they have not been on Alamy long enough - either that or I am getting worse as a stock photog.

amycicconi Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Sales volume - +44% (85 total sales in 2018) Sales revenue - +35% Average gross revenue per image sold - $38.24 Dec 28 - 7 sales for $182 gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Crean Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Don't usually partake in these threads but I though I'd add this time due to the fact that I've seen a significant increase in prices... Sold 1 image more in 2018 than 2017, but had an increase in gross sales value of 21%. $39.94 average gross per image. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumar Doc: It would indicate to me that you are getting better. H through R just need time to marinate in the Alamy special sauce. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtStudio29 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I’m on Alamy since June this year. I don’t have a big portfolio but I’ve got my first sale in December: 35$ gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
