Bill Allsopp 115 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I believe things are looking up. I am one sale short of the total for 2019 and three short of 2018 which was my best year ever. Gross $ value so far this year exceeds the total for any complete year already and even allowing for the extra slice Alamy have taken my net is better too. More than that though my sales are 50% more in the last 12 months than any calendar year and more than 50% up in value terms. I am still not going to be rich any time soon though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
NYCat 2,748 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I had two sales of polar bear pics for a book in March right before lockdowns started. It has taken a long time for them to clear so I was worried it might be cancelled but they have just cleared. Paulette 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I´m slowly removing photos from Alamy and not submitting any more. I lost my interest in this game. This post let me think, as in the same boat of me.. 're you succeeding guys making often use of AoA to get better trends which sale? Link to post Share on other sites
Stokie 852 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 A nice surprise on Alamy measures this morning! I had 3 sales, 2038 views and 32 zooms yesterday, the later both being record amounts! They were all related to Stoke-on-Trent or Staffordshire, presumably for calendars, as that was what the 3 sales were for. John. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Cal 207 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 My positive results will probably pale in comparison to many but for a niche port with low numbers it's not getting off to too bad a start. Sold four images this year, one twice. Just had a sale for a photo of Manchester come in, glad I marked it as exclusive as otherwise it'd have been in single figures. At the start of the year I had around 200 images and now over 1000 so hoping the wheels are in motion now and next year will see more of an uptick. Also need to add more photos of people into my port, I'm fairly good at street but haven't done it in a long time so the courage to go out and point a camera at strangers has waned. One theme that continually comes around for me is I am tending to sell images that I don't expect to sell, so I am cautious of binning images in a set that are technically sound because they might be sellers! 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites

If you'd earned nothing, that would be a reduction of 100%. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

On the basis that 24 hours 'behind' is normal, in that it updates the following day, then yes, more than 48 hours in total. Link to post Share on other sites
