Reimar Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 1 hour ago, LawrensonPhoto said: Which begs the question, how many more images have you uploaded since then? Good question. It doesn't matter. For me, 2019 income was my lowest since 2007 when I had about 1000 images up. Even then I made 30% more than last year. Adding 11,000 images hasn't made much of an impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 858 sales in 2019 - thats 2 more than last year, and 10 less than 2016 which was my best ever year for both numbers and gross income Gross income 2019 was $23,817, which is 10% less than 2018 and 14% less than 2016 Average income, gross per sale was $27.75 Best sale of the year was $300 gross, at 50% CTR average for the year was 0.66; Position on the BHZ scale for those who use it remains near the top of p4, 120images/page Out of interest my annual gross income this year has gone back down to approximately my income in 2013 when I had exactly half the number of images for sale, and sold pretty much half the number of images I sold in 2019 Happy New Year everybody!

Bill Brooks Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Number of images sold plus 25% in 2019 over 2018 Revenue plus 25% in 2019 over 2018 Thanks Alamy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Douglas Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) 84 sales for $2186 gross. Slightly down in revenue from 2018 but that's the 6th year that my gross sales have been just over $2k. I increased my number of images by 21% in the year. I had intended to do more, but a fall in my sales from August onwards, combined with time being spent on a couple of more lucrative, non-photography income streams, led to a reduction in my submissions in the last 4 months of the year. Happy New Year! Edited January 2, 2020 by Keith Douglas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 2019 was my third full year of submitting images. Number of licenses were as follows: 2017: 9 2018: 25 2019: 44 and gross revenue was: 2017: $292 2018: $583 2019: $1,620 I've grown my port steadily over the past three years. I've had some very attractive license fees in 2019 (but at the same time also very low ones as I'm opted in all the schemes). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sooth Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Ended 2019 with 101 sales, nearly double the amount of sales reported in 2018. Added ~1100 new images in 2019, but only 6 of those new images resulted in a sale, most of the licenses were from photos taken and added in 2018. 101 sales, with one sizable $$$$ license. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizbee Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 2019 was my first full calendar year with Alamy having only joined in the summer of 2018, so was surprised and pleased to get my first sale in April. By the end of the year I'd had 12 sales for $419 gross (an average of about $35 per sale), so can't complain - yet! Come the end of 2020.... well we'll see what happens. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFL Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 The graphs illustrate my Gross & Net $$$ and QTY sold since I joined Alamy in 2004. Unfortunately 2019 was a major step back in terms of Net Sales. Sung 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Beastall Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Well, here are my figures for 2019. Sale up by 5%😊 but revenue down by 25%😢. Edited January 4, 2020 by Alan Beastall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Same number of sales than last year. For a bit less money than last year. But my portfolio on Alamy is so small, that my numbers don't really mean any thing... Yet... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
