Maybe an interesting comparison between your numbers and mine. I hit 1000 sales a few months ago (currently on 1085) but my total revenues are only half yours.

Matt Ashmore Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 My first sale of the year and actually a picture that I like for a change (rather than a boring shop front ). Like Paulette above, Novel Use however ... so oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the sales here, though, are higher but farther in between than on micro. The prices will continue their decline. Eventually photographs will be free of charge.

Ehh look in your Pseudonym Summary? If you want to search someone else's image, try every keyword/phrase until you have the image land on the upper part of the first page. Consider using the New tab. If you know the date you could trawl through AoA. Sales may only appear there after weeks/months even, and only a small part of searches do appear as having resulted in a sale for a whole lot of reasons. So a simple long trawl may just be as useful. Only with the apliccable keywords of course and don't forget words that are in the caption only. So for this image it could well have been: Any keyword plus Maidstone. Happy bin - my first guess, but it's not in AoA for the rolling month. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoos can present some good opportunities. It's not the way I would ordinarily compose that shot but there was something on the left I had to keep out of the shot. It leaves some nice copy space on the right so not necessarily a bad thing to need to make adjustments. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
