Reimar Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Well, there's a wrap for another year. Same # of images sold as last year (~200) for 25% less income. December wasn't too hot either - 14 sales for $479 gross ($186 net). Still better than any of my two other MS efforts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njene Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Number of sales dropping to lowest level in 3 years, but revenue was a new all time high for me so price per image has been quite decent for 2019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) 2019 has spoilt my graph After 8 years of steadily rising revenue on Alamy, 2019 is lower than 2018. 2018 - 67 sales for $2,276 gross 2019 - 67 sales for $2,041 gross It's not all bad news though, taking into account a good infringement settlement (via Pixsy) and stock sales elsewhere, my overall net revenue has risen by a good amount. Happy New Year to all and good luck for the coming year. Mark Edited January 1, 2020 by M.Chapman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) 194 sales in 2019 up by 8% on 2018, but gross income down by 8% ! Indeed gross income the lowest since 2014, so not too much Xmas cheer 😕 However, to put things in perspective, I saw some great local images for sale in a library recently, beautifully mounted and wrapped, but not framed, for less than £20 each. After taking away the cost of production and the cut the venue must get, not to mention the work involved, it appears that Alamy still provides a half decent return.

David eastley Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 My best year ever with both volume and revenue up again. Keep up the good work Alamy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 2019 and 2018 were my best years for both volume and prices. But I wasn't producing much until about 4 years ago. My port has been increasing about 1,000 images a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Dire. 28% down in volume and 40% revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 An increase in both volume and revenue over 2018, though not in equal percentages and mirroring the downward trend in prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Convery Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 My worst year for revenue since 2010 with 192 sales for $3960 gross. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abiyoyo Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 2019 was 18% better than 2018 in terms of sales and 11% better off in revenues. Most of my images are exclusives, except my best niche that is non-exclusive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 2019 was my best year ever, although PPI was best in 2018: 2019: 156 sales for $4,511 2018: 82 sales for $3,680 2017: 39 sales for $1,368 2016: 5 sales for $346 (my first year) Hopefully 2020 will see the graph continue on its upward path. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided I had to change something since my revenue graph was heading south, so I deleted about 1800 images. It will be interesting to see how 2020 goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreign Export Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 2nd best ever year for number of sales - last year remains my best year however 2019 is only 5th best for income 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_m Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) My first year here: First sales in May for 2*2.26$ = 4.52$ December i have 2 more for 0.96$ net each ... Total 4 sales for 6.44 $ net 21 zooms, some of them the only zooms in search but 0 sales from zooms Edited January 1, 2020 by peter_m 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Sales up 19% on 2018 (best year for sales) Gross $$ down 22% on 2018 (4th best year for $$, but quite some way below the 3rd best) I earned 103% more (net) from my 'other place' (with December still to report there) with 13% more files on Alamy. Things are falling fast there too, don't want to give a false impression: just relative figures.

Michael Ventura Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Had the exact same number of sales as 2018 (228) and nearly the same gross revenue (off by 2%)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertSnapper Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Sales down 41% (to 72) Income down 27% Worst year in 5 years ! All images are 100% exclusive to Alamy. At the end of 2018 I finished doing all those extra bits in the Alamy Image Manager. Added about 400 pics too. All to no avail ! Onwards and downwards 😞 ps...on a positive note, I've an unreported Guardian online use to look forward to !

digi2ap Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Sales down one to twenty two but gross revenue up (and almost double year on year) as a result of two pleasing $$$ book sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Heinrich Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Volume down again but overall best year for income thanks to one very good sale back in the Spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Images up 10.5% Sales up 19.5% Gross down 15% Nett down 14.5% The only good news is nett never fell as much as gross (barely) in spite of going non exclusive with a lot of images. However sales elsewhere in the first year not being exclusive more than made up for the fall in Alamy revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Limb Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 As proof that the work is there if you get after it ... my best year ever on Alamy Sales up by just over 73% and revenue by almost 96% .... now for the 2020s PS: happy New Year everyone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 33% increase in number of sales, with 366 in 2019 compared to 275 in 2018. Very slight increase in gross revenue, $5916 in 2019 compared to $5900 in 2018 but that turned into a nett drop of $10 once commissions and affiliate fees were deducted, $2831 (2019) compared to $2841 (2018). No $$$ sales the whole year and too many lower $ sales. Average CTR over the whole year 1.12 and a high ratio of xooms to sales - 2.69. Only 618 images added, all exclusive, so I really need to get back to my normal 100 a month average. All in all a fairly decent year. Looking forward to 2020 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Myford Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Equal best year by volume, but only 6th best by gross revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
