JaniMarkus Hasa Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Two zooms. Two sales reported, at least the other image published on-line already in early September. Net $ 3.6. Still holding to my day job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Chapman Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 6 sales for $99.27 gross, $49.65 net. 6 sales is about average for me, but the revenue/sale continues to decline I made the almost same net sum from a 10x smaller test portfolio which I setup elsewhere following Alamy's commission cut. On the bright side, Alamy zooms are going well with CTR 0.84% last month and I received a slightly larger direct claim DACs payout (£158) than last year. So overall not a bad month at all.

Doc Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 70 sales for a gross of $2239. 4 in $$$ territory, best was $300 of an image taken in the US, for a US calendar. Zooms reasonable at 239; CTR 0.65 Kumar 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Dreadful. Still not yet up to half last year's revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve F Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) 5 sales for gross $86. Could be better (or worse I guess!) I need 10 more sales this year to beat last year, although my revenue is down somewhat on last year - probably because I haven't had a $$$ sale this year....

Steve Valentia Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Absolutely awful October, 1 sale for $14. My total sales, for 2019 are - so far - down on last year and the year before by about 65% and 55% respectively. I was contacted by another contributor (and a really good pro photographer), to ask about my experience, as he had sold only 1 or 2 images all year. He wondered if there had been changes to Alamy's Algorithm. I don't know about that, but I do know I'm disappointed.Last year I made 88 sales ($2500 revenue). This year, so far, I have made 30 sales ($875, my lowest since 2013). Alamy removed me from submitting to the news feed, saying that I had not made any news sales in 2018, when I had actually made about 30 sales as a result of contributing to Live News. But, my sales figures don't agree. After I made a complaint, I was allowed contribute "reportage" (immediate acceptance of the images), but not the news feed. it seems to have had a big affect on my overall sales, so far.

Mine isn't down to loss of news access though. I've fewer same-year sales presumably due to putting up many fewer images, but that doesn't account for much of it either. It's certainly a disincentive- I'm a month behind with my usual September travel batch, even though I have some new places to put up. But with one rental business client last month bringing in twice my Alamy revenue for the year so far, I have better uses for my time.

Mine isn't down to loss of news access though. I'm not sure mine is either, to be honest. Probably just crap images! (No, I don't really believe that). I worry about Alamy. Just seen the Light-box for the IOM in October and they look like they've been selected by people with no understanding of photographic technique. Yep, sour grapes but I think I have a point.

John Richmond Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Congratulations to those who've done well - and commiserations to those who've had less financially healthy returns. Pretty good month for me with 36 sales for $639 gross (all direct and exclusive). Healthy DACS income via Alamy of $219 which, in turn, has generated my highest month's payout so far of $429. Looking forward to seeing that in my bank account next week. 91 zooms for CTR of 1.12 so good prospects for the future. Having said that I'm only at 86% of last year's total revenue despite already exceeding last year's volume by 12%. Average prices are certainly declining and that impacts us all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losdemas Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 1 for $179 Zooms in September were an all time low, which flipped around in October and they're now healthy again. Last six months sales volumes: 6 5 4 3 2 1 I think I spot a trend! 🤣 I have seen one or two of my images in 2020 calendars tho' (unsure if via here) so things may be picking up? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 No sales but given the size of my portfolio thats not a huge suprise but I've had a flurry of zooms come in which hopefully is a step in the right direction 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecile Marion Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Zooms and views okay, but no sales this month for the first time this year. DACS payment was $20. Edited November 1, 2019 by Cecile Marion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some west USA magazine: print, digital and electronic Print run: up to 5 million. Am actually quite curious who is the customer. Might start believing I am doing something right. My guess! The price is about right and the clues you have given point towards AAA Westway magazine . Thats triple A Edited November 1, 2019 by Shergar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
