sb photos Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Starting to check more, for both sales and zooms, after reading this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Estall Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) First thing in the morning is probably enough but there do seem to be some zooms show up later in the morning. I used to check late Friday afternoons when there seemed to be an end of week flurry. But that doesn't seem to happen these days. Frequent viewing sounds a lot like watching for the old kettle to boil Edited July 29, 2020 by Robert M Estall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shearwater Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) At the begining, with very few images...once in a while. Later on, after discovering this forum and regularly increasing my port...once a day in the morning. But not only for sales, but for zooms, and mainly searches...which help me to fine-tune some keywords. And keeping stats. Nowdays...one in the morning, another in the afternoon, another at night...too much! I have that compulsive syndrome. I'm almost sure sales only update once in a day for me...so pointless to do it more than once. My rituals usually don't give me good luck...should change them. Some advices?

When I check Alamy Measures, then Your Images, it displays 'Last Updated on : 29 Jul 2020 09:52 GMT' so I assume that's when everything was updated. Most days its either side of 09:30. Previously uploaded images appear for sale earlier though. Edited July 29, 2020 by sb photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUs and presentations possibly show as soon as the customer purchases, and other licenses when the Alamy staff enter them. Seems that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I check once a day to see if Alamy has been paid for our images that got used last year. I call it my daily disappointment !!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct that sales update continuously during the day, but views and zooms once a day usually about 9:30am. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Robinson Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Also, do you check the Sales History page ("see all sales") or the Download Sales Report page? The latter updates far more regularly - you don't actually have to download it. If you do Sales History and not Download Sales Report, we look forward to welcoming you to the 50 Times A Day Club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearwater Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 It too makes sense that sales appears during all day...as some pointed: PU's, distribution batchs, individual sales enter by the staff... But I have never "catch" a sale in the middle...not being in the morning and appearing in the afternoon. Oh, well....it is for sure because I only have a sale per month on average. 29 days dissapointed...only one surprised! 😲 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sander Photography Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Usually 3 times a day. One time in the morning, around midday and when the working day ends. Funny since I never actually caught one sale at this time being! I also like the search stats and the zooms since they help me out with adjusting keywords where needed.

Pearl Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Irregularly but often. I check the Net revenue sales report set to date of invoice as that updates in real time. I only look at the Sales history the next day to see the terms of the license. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finally getting back to you, Steve, on that important piece of information — the date and time of the daily update. That tells us what we need to know. Thanks.

Ed Rooney Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Jean-François, I hope I'm not putting my foot in my mouth again, but I notice that many of your images are submitted as Live News, not Stock. I don't do Live News, but I would think that would be on a different timetable. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

Forgive me if I'm wrong. not from reporting perspective that i can notice. and so far only 20% of my sales actually came from LiveNews timeliness that i can see, so most of my sales are stock.
