Cryptoprocta Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, Reimar said: Wow. Why not spread those i-images around to the other sites? Because then G would pay me 15% instead of 30%, file prices on new files would decrease, I'd lose all my access to direct G. sales (a complete lottery, but my best sales there have outdone my best sales here for three years in a row), not counting the tiny Connect and PA sales, and my files there would lose positioning. They are failing rapidly too (really, G mucked everything up): although relative to Alamy my earnings there are good, they are down to about 1/6th or less what they were back in the Good Old Days, when I had abut half the files there that I do now. I just made a big mistake in firstly uploading 'preferentially' to Alamy for two or three years, then exclusively to Alamy for 2.5 years. I started uploading there again in February and when I had 60 uploads there this year (more since) I earned over $56, which is really poor compared to what I'd have earned several years ago, but on Alamy hundreds of uploads and earned $0, though a $10 sale from this year popped in this week.

John Mitchell Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Average-ish month for me with 14 sales for $599 gross. No $$$ sales to report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Number of sales good at 24, buoyed up by a modest slew of calendar leases. Income OK, but no $$$ deals. No. of zooms vomited up to 70 at one stage, so maybe good times ahead? Managed to match last year's total sales with a welcome latecomer, but gross income down by about 15% for the equivalent number of leases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 11 sales for $195 gross, $96 net. So above average number of sales for me and reasonable revenue, but overall revenue/sale poor. It's starting to look like my 2019 sales may not beat 2018. First time I've seen a drop on Alamy Revenue generated per image on sale doing better elsewhere, I probably should upload more elsewhere instead of here, but I still feel a loyalty to Alamy that I can't explain.

Gnans Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 1 Sale for $50. Gnans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 10 for $129 It's been a horrible year for low value sales but to be entirely honest it's probably down to two things. Lack of originality and a lack of artistic quality. 😞 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 3 for very little $$ but highest zooms and ctr so hopefully lots more tiny licences 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 28 for $895, but reduce by one and $50 as stats report refunds which is a bit annoying, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvallee Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 14 sales for $559. Highest was $218. Not looking good to beat last year, neither volume nor revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbimages Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 5 licences for $251.89. Still below average for me, but better than the past 2 months. Net helped by more images being moved to exclusive. CTR above Alamy average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassius Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Happy with November sales! So far, YTD I am 50 percent up on views and 100percent in revenue. Hope it continues! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broad Norfolk Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Only 3 sales in November but that's one more than November last year. For year to date it's my best yet - up on both sales and revenue. CTR and zooms down a bit and views holding steady. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 About average for me. 34 sales for $442 gross (all exclusive). 84 zoomz for CTR of 1.13. Well over last year for total sales volume but stll below total revenue. December needs to be above average figures to equal, let alone exceed, last years revenue figures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 2 small sales at the start of Nov, the rest was tumbleweed. So much for end of month last minute sales. I have exclusive War Of The Worlds images here, the show aired this month and guess what....not a single sale. I spent a week on that set, all for nothing. Mind you, the series was rubbish after waiting 18 months for them to air it. Typical BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Lewis Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Hi All 17 for $384 some calendar sales (How does that work I tell Alamy I have spotted one then all of a sudden 12 appear???from months back) Need one more to beat last year fingers crossed Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very scary, since they all looked very calm and maybe tired. But they looked so realistic that it made me alert in case one or two were actually human beings ready to jump up or do something else unexpected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
British Gent Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 1 sale for $30 right at the death. To be fair, that's about average for me (sigh). Didn't help when I heard from a friend who largely gave up with Alamy a couple years ago and switched to creating art work for Fine Art America. By half way through the month he had made $2k worth of sales and that's not unusual... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 80 for $2180 gross; 4 in the $$$ category, best was $196 Good zoom numbers of 239, total CTR of 0.68 Kumar 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_rabe Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Well, so much for turning a corner, few sales finally came in couple of months before Nov, only for last month to return nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
