Reimar Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Following on from the cliff thread, I can report a dismal month with 16 sales (good) for $284gross/$112net (terrible). Experiment 1 did OK ($145) while experiment 2 is coming along with only 1/3 of my images ($75). Edited February 29, 2020 by Reimar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Even with the Leap Day, I suppose the month has come to an end. February started strong with a healthy amount of sales, for decent prices but then it ran off the proverbial cliff on the 15th with nothing until this past Thursday and Friday. So, alas, the month ended with average numbers. 15 sales for a gross of $975 (3 were above $100). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abiyoyo Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 It seems that February will end with 18 sales and $667. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I'm at the bottom of the cliff. 3 sales, $18.15 net. 51 files deleted, which will be a rolling process, starting with subjects with no searches recorded in Measures in the past year. I should have checked that before uploading, but I previously thought Measures recorded searches by a selection of the main buyers, not 'all buyers'. We live and learn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) February was like a doughnut -- it had a big hole in the middle and not a lot of icing around the edges. Somehow, though, I ended up with seven sales (half my average) for $348 gross / $166 net. Surprisingly good month for zooms and CTR, so no reason to jump off the cliff yet. 😉 Edited March 1, 2020 by John Mitchell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvallee Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 20 sales for $800. A good month (for me) with some healthy prices. 0.6 CTR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbro Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 14 for $876, including 3 $$$ sales. Feb started slow, only $126 at half way point. But last week was gang buster strong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) 20 sales but 3 refunds, a few 40% deals and none in the $$$ league led to a disappointing net income of just over $100. I'm increasingly of the view that it's not worth investing in expensive hardware, software or travel specifically to cater for stock, shoestring prices mean there's no incentive to spend on the business. Any light at the end of the tunnel, well my best ever number of zooms at one point reaching 77. My move into POD not yet bearing fruit, despite a lot of interest. Very surprised to see what people are looking at, a very different market to Alamy. Edited March 1, 2020 by Bryan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Zero sales for £0.00 Pathetic month. So much for the end of month “surge” . Loyalty to Alamy with exclusive images really paying off here. Edited March 1, 2020 by Marb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 5 sales recorded, also an image seen in the Guardian not shown as a sale yet (which will be worth peanuts if my other UK press sales are anything to go by). Total $122. A lot more zooms than normal. Last year my first sale was in March. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniMarkus Hasa Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) 2 sales for $42.86 gross / $17.86 net. 9 zooms with 0.97 CTR. This is rather expensive hobby. Edited March 1, 2020 by JaniMarkus Hasa Changed , to . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digi2ap Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) 5 for $182.72 with one very low distributor sale at bulk discount in that mix! An adjustment of territories is planned when April comes. Edited March 1, 2020 by digi2ap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VbFolly Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Slow month with 3 licenses for $134 gross (all at 50% commission). February is usually the worst month of the year for me, so hopefully things will improve soon. My zooms have been much higher than usual for Jan and Feb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Crean Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Slowest & lowest month for a year...7 sales $113 gross. Plus a refund of what was a good January sale.🤨 Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andremichel Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The late surge helped my totals greatly, but still well short of previous two months. Total sales: 18 Gross revenue: $623 Net revenue: $249 Images: 13300 After 10 years of resistance, in January I decided to start an extensive MS experiment of my own with the so called "tier 1 ms library". With February the first full month, 1000 images produced $82 net, which included a $19 and a $14 net sale within this total. Maybe this is just a first month fluke, I'll wait and see how it performs going forward before jumping to conclusions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broad Norfolk Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Disappointing month with only 3 sales for $54 gross. Views down a bit but zooms holding up with CTR around the Alamy average of 0.58. Still optimistic! Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Yates Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 10 sales for $281 worst month for a long time. CTR sitting at 0.81. Remaining optimistic! for March sales and onwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 46 sales making it the highest for volume (just) in the rolling year but only 4th highest for income as approx 50% were <$10 sales and only one $$$. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasilnut Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Disappointing 8 sales for gross $158.71, but I've grown accustomed on here. Anyway... Full February report on all my stock/footage earnings here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Poor month for me 4 for 71.50. half of February last year. Zooms however at record level for 2nd month running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) 9 sales for $266.50 gross - some distributor sales, unfortunately. Not as good as often is. And seems to be a slow clearing of sales, which unfortunately results in no March payout. Zooms suddenly increased a few days ago.
