I pretty much have lost all incentive to upload here much anymore. Unsustainable!!! Whereas I've had a really depressing last couple of months, and this one is looking MUCH better.

Broken Pixel Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 All my photos are green. Sales are very low, almost nothing. Have no idea why and what to do next. Feel rather demotivated. ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KODAKovic Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) My theory of FEB low month for sales is that not just Measures had issues but something else which affected images visibility. I read many had great sales so it could be just me and few others. Also, this month sales could also be images put on lightboxes some months ago then bought this month. It's just a theory of course, Alamy didn't clarify in details what happened. Views, Zooms are back to normal btw Edited February 26, 2019 by KODAKovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one MS site is 10x more lucrative than that, even to a starter, but that's still 10-100x lower than typical fees than Alamy (on a per sale basis only).

You need to give it much more time, some buyers are on a cycle where sales are not reported for months. 1100 seems like a lot but you will need more these days!

I've had 2 sales so far in 3 months (half your portfolio size), the nice thing commission on those 2 sales, equals the 100 download at another MS where you are also board member :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't understand about sales reported. I read a lot of forum here but ... One user tells me that if i have sale today - i will see this tomorrow. But another say that if i have sale i will understand this after 1,2,3 months ... For payment i understand that must wait more after sales reported. B.t.w. for 2 months i have 612 views and 5 zooms. More than average CTR. Edited March 1, 2019 by peter_m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Well it looks like March is set to be just as bad, if not worse than Feb. No zooms at all so far. Terrible start. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marb Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Because at the time of my post there were no zooms. I can only go off evidence of what I can or can’t see. Edited March 4, 2019 by Marb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
