Ace Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 How is your month stacking up ? Was looking forward to a great last month but sadly its horrible out there for me 😊 Was up on $$$$ for the year and just needed a couple more sales to match last year. Onwards ....

0 Michael Ventura Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 This has been an unusually quiet month but the wall with nice sales today. Other than that, it's been all tiny sales. I too need a few more in both volume and $$ to just meet last year's totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill Kuta Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Yes, been very quiet the last couple of months. Yesterday I finally matched last year's number of sales, and am still about 2% behind on revenue. But way too many personal/presentation sales--it's easy to get the feeling that PU sales are replacing some regular sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Avpics Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Down to a trickle and lower values than August to November, but I think I'm finally seeing the benefit of shovelling 21,000 fairly varied images on Alamy for sale in that the counter ticks over quite frequently now.

0 Alex Ramsay Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Two excellent months followed by a trickle in December Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 John Mitchell Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) And not a creature was stirring... December has been slow, but sales trickle in, seven so far, which is somewhat below average for this time of the month. I'm well above last year's totals for both sales and revenue so very pleased with 2019 overall. Edited December 19, 2019 by John Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ed Rooney Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 It's not been a bad month so far for me but what I find strange is that all my licensed images were closeups. ??? Like > 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Young Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 This month I haven’t made any sales... last month was only one ☝️ sale... However October was a great month and I exceeded last year’s sales. I hope that I have several sales before new year. Or everyone is on vacation?!

0 John Richmond Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I'm certainly hoping for a last minute rush - even a mini rush - tomorrow. I only need one more sale to achieve a personal goal of a sale for every day of the year. Currently on 364 so fingers firmly crossed*. *When they not untwined to refresh the sales report, of course. 😊 Update: Two in this morning. I've achieved my goal for 2019 😁 Edited December 31, 2019 by John Richmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Betty LaRue Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Very slow November and December. I’ve had a handful of searches where my image was the only one zoomed. Makes me wonder what is being stolen, not bought. Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Niels Quist Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Nothing new under the low standing sun. It has always been a slow period around Christmas and New Year for me. There are seasons for planning and production of media which are not around the obvious holiday periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Steve F Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Well... One sale this month, slowest month of the year! And one of those random coincidences, despite expanding my portfolio with a few hundred images, I sold 51 photos last year and 51 this year too. Gross revenue is down $300 though... Here's to a rash of sales in January and a successful 2020. Happy new year everyone! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pearl Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 45 sales in December so far and there are still a few hours to go, that is equal to the highest number of sales in a month this year BUT it is the lowest revenue month by more than $100 gross and I've had some pretty poor months in 2019. So many low value sales with no decent sales to compensate. Getting very demoralised - I made more money in 2010 and every year since until this one.

0 MilesbeforeIsleep Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Well, I'm currently not winning any awards for sales at Alamy, but had two sales in the last week before Xmas, with the last on Christmas Eve. Earlier this year I photographed a portion of my book collection (never get rid of a book), thinking it was kind of silly, but gave me something to do in bad weather. In fact I've had several of these images sell. For Christmas, someone got a pic of a fairly obscure book by Reinhold Niebuhr, and I got 50% on $70, so hopefully we're both happy.

Michael It can be surprising what can sell. Well before I signed up with Alamy I had an image of a long closed book shop's paper bag used by the guardian on-line, lifted from Flickr. I was persistent but eventually was paid. Much more than I would have received if submitted and sold now under the UKNS.
