I haven't got any sales since 3rd week of May. 😅

But seeing so many people still yielding result during this pandemic time is awesome. 💯

I have no sales since mid February. I´m slowly removing photos from Alamy and not submitting any more. 
I lost my interest in this game.

Removing photos, why?  If you’ve lost interest you could just leave your port as it is, giving you the chance to make sales down the line.  Removing photos is a bit dramatic and quite ridiculous.

Dun give up, just leave the images on won't hurt or cost extra. Go recharge and come back later if you are still keen. All the best.

Ummm - "Post positive results for 2020..."?

[Colblimp 1,906]

My port just passed 5000 pics this morning, at the turn of the year it was at 3,500. 🥳😀

 

 Not a massive increase for some of the big guns here, but it’s enormous for me, helped no end by C19.  

 

6,000 by the end of the year? 😁

$119 direct sale just dropped in

I won't do that if i were you, because you won't incur any loses just by leaving the pictures on Alamy. Never say never when someone buys it, beside, it is just doing keywords, description etc etc, u dun need to do any marketing daily.

Not seen a $$$ sale for quite a while, but a $150 lease appeared yesterday. I can never understand how the pricing works, this photo has sold in the past for a good deal less, it's not one of my major works so to speak, but a very welcome outcome. Thanks Alamy!

No sales since April, but then again, Iv'e had a full time job for year and a half, so have hardly been uploading, started going through some old files and uploaded a photo of a train station on the 13th, passed the next day and sold for double digit PU yesterday 20th!

Three small sales dropped in yesterday taking my total sales to 87% of 2019 by number and 66% by value.

[Colblimp 1,906]

This morning I passed last year's number of sales (156).  I'm now on 172 for this year, with gross revenue about $250 short on last year's total.  Life is good!

A lovely $$$ calendar sale (with only a one year license) to end the month.

Congratulations. That's encouraging to hear, especially this month.

Yes it looks good next to a run of news tiddlers above it in my sales list.

I just had an RF sale for $237. It's an image of a sheep!

Had my first Alamy pay out yesterday. At least my current cleared balance went to zero, haven't seen anything on my bank account so far.

Is it due to live news going strong? Or is your stock also selling well?

Approx. 90% Live News.  I don't sell much stock, but then I don't upload much stock any more.  I'll do some stock pics if I can't be bothered to go looking for news stories, but that's quite rare.

Thanks for the info. Your monthly numbers have been impressive especially recently while many have struggled.

It might be more a sign of craziness than anything positive but I have reached 70,000 images. Nearly all 'Stock' as I don't do 'News' ' - which are two completely different sales life-cycles I reckon. 

 

I have always been clear that I am not a 'professional' merely a former geography teacher with a camera. Lately since lockdown that includes other people's old slides, also I have some Public Domain which in ratio terms sell well. 

 

I'm on $218k total sales ( yes, modest for the number of images compared with others)

 

222 sales in 2020 for $5.2 k gross

 

I'm not in competition with anybody else and can completely understand why others have better statistics. But I continue to enjoy stock and continue to be grateful to Alamy for making this possible.

Thanks. I’ve taken full advantage of C19 and photographed everything from face mask wearers to COVID test centres to Garda check points. I’ve worked really hard, shooting almost every day from before dawn to after dusk. I’ve done very well with Irish nationals and Cork based papers too.  News is where it’s at, seemingly...

[Colblimp 1,906]

This morning's sale has taken my revenue past the whole of last year's, so I'm feeling very positive for the future.  Onwards!  😁
