John Mitchell Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 ..and how was your September?! Perhaps someone should start a new thread entitled, "How your September could have been better." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Really nice Jeff. Is this close to a "best month ever or BME" for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Endicott Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I licensed one image for $25 gross in September. That's been my best month at Alamy since March, when I licensed two images for $28 gross. I am not feeling positive at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Morrison Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 After a conversation with James I have decided to stay with Alamy and grow my portfolio. We'll have an extra place at the table. It's fatted calf for dinner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semmick Photo Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Basically James and another contributor said that if I already had experienced little success with my small portfolio there would be no reason to not expect more success if I added more of my images. And a few people mentioned my images are good. And James basically said he was hoping I would continue to work with Alamy. Which is a nice thing to say, I am sensitive to that kind of stuff.

Paulstw Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 September was much like the other months. No sales single figure zooms and hundreds of views, well thousands actually. Impressed with the stats from Jeff. $10k? in a month? that's pretty impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Basically James and another contributor said that if I already had experienced little success with my small portfolio there would be no reason to expect more success if I added more of my images. --and that was encouraging? OK, I guess there is a "not" missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semmick Photo Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yes, I see that now, there is a not missing, Thanks, edited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losdemas Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yes, I see that now, there is a not missing, Thanks, edited IMHO (what do I know ?!), your images are good/saleable on Alamy and I see no reason why your sales should not increase greatly with a larger portfolio. This doesn't however alter the state of the industry or what the future may bring! There are some totally contradictory results on this thread from valued and respected contributors with large portfolios and long-term experience in stock: David Kilpatrick is apparently having a rough time of things at present, while Jeff Greenberg is doing just fine (and he has voiced concerns recently). Others have reported similar disparities: it seems that the steady boat for larger contributors isn't always so steady any more. My personal view is that a steady flow of uploads at least offers those of us near the bottom of the pile the opportunity to be seen, as the 'New' button offers us the chance of getting zoomed on page one of search results - something which might otherwise rarely occur when competing with more than 40M other photos on board. I know that this has benefited me and that (long-term) the effects will increase my CTR/zooms/sales and thus up my chances of being viewed/zoomed by dint of higher positions in Relevant search results (can't see me ever popping up in Creative!) Stick around - at least till the red arrows disappear ! ...oh, and good luck (to us all !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunmaglasPhoto Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 After increasing my portfolio size over 10 fold in a year, two consecutive QC failures and my CTR has collapsed to almost non-existant. So all in all not a particularly brilliant month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan_Andison Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Well.... Sept may have been quiet here (sales) but just landed a $1,500 sale elsewhere, first one of that size.... along with 4 other smaller ones.... and another 8 zooms here. Happy days again :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreign Export Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Disappointing just 1 sale for not very much Still lets just keep going I would welcome any thoughts on my images... I am conscious that I may need more variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 A positive note (if slightly off topic) - disappointing but the first four days of October have so far netted 50% of September's total (both in numbers and $). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiazeg Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I have about 500 pictures at Alamy and I was wondering, approximately, how much money should I expect to be making per month. If anyone could help me out with that... I'm just curious, the answer doesn't have to be that precise. I just want to have an idea of how much to expect, after discounts and everything. How to get sales for more then only few cents? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Hi Tiazeg To be honest, with that number of images, which is actually relatively small, I would not expecting to make sales every month. More likely to be 0 - 5 sales per year, and Alamy will only pay out when you have more than $75 cleared in your account Regards Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
