John Mitchell 6,119 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Today I woke up to a $$$ sale (direct, 50%) of an image captured on on a trip to my local grocery store just down the street. My share will more than pay for the few items that I bought that day. Glad I packed a camera. Edited April 23, 2019 by John Mitchell 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I tended to forget what the symbols stood for since my brain interpreted o as being zero and therefore not good. Or do I have it confused again? Paulette I've had quite a few images taken within a few blocks of my house license, including a couple of other $$$ ones, and I live in a quiet residential area with not a lot going on -- more squirrels and crows around than lions and tigers. 😄 Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Convery 171 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Best end of month surge for a while with 11 sales so far today. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites
IanDavidson 831 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Fantastic end of month surge with the better part of thirty, largely newspaper, sales. Not great prices (one at top end of $$ was the best). But the overall revenue the highest I have ever achieved. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Simon 98 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Just had the "month end" sales show up, very pleasantly surprised with a number of 3 figure news sales that I wasn't aware of. It's good to see that my ideas of what might sell as topical, is working now, even from the darkest depths of Cornwall. Hats off to our adopted family member Titan for being in a good number of uses this month .. love the little guy. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
sjc 20 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Reached 2000 images milestone. https://www.alamy.com/portfolio/greenburnphotography 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Avpics 2,358 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Six sales so far this month. Four personal use, one presentation and one exam paper. Heading towards $$$ mostly with licences that many choose to opt out of. I tend to think that whether it's $1, $10, $100 or $1000 (OK, $1, $10 or $100) it's better off in my account than not.

I'll have to check I’m afraid the lower prices may well be live news rates. I think Alamy will be getting a few emails querying them! Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, they've confirmed them as correct. Next time I go to an event I'll stick a cap on the floor and hope for donations. It'll probably be more rewarding Link to post Share on other sites
