So you'll be going through puberty twice, second time in reverse. Don't think I'd want that myself. 🙃

1 for $15 - tiny image only 766 x 510 pixels. It is of course exclusive to Alamy earning me an extra $1.50 

Depressing. 

I think the new google licensing scheme has come too late to save stock photography when clients can find what they need for such small prices everywhere.

Two zooms at the end of the month, but no sales.  Found out Migracion was pissed with me because I hadn't updated my address (got that done yesterday in Managua).  Glad to be out of August.

Only posting with the idea that it may give some encouragement, motivation, hope whatever to those that might feel like it is all downhill.  Don't get discouraged. This month has cheered me up, 'kind of' , 13 sales for $647 that is actually quite good.  Got lucky with a couple of TV licenses and a couple of other good sales helped make the month.  But 13 sales is lowish for me. Previous couple of months were not great.  Have added very few images lately, only shot so there would be some activity on my port.  Will likely pull them after I get around to shooting stuff I think should be in my port.  It has been difficult with this covid to shoot freely where ever and whatever.

Three sales, two tiddlers and one for $724. That takes my gross  $ value so far this year to more than the total for any complete year already and even allowing for the extra slice Alamy have taken my net is better too.

Nothing for Aug 🙂 CTR avg for Aug.

 

It used to be ~ 2/3 sales a month between Mar - May and then 1 sale for June and July.

[Allan Bell 2,160]

 

Two licences came in today which means I am only two behind last years total.

 

Even though I am not up to total sales for last year the revenue graph shows almost double the earnings for this year so far.😎

Average sales with good fees until April. As an underwater and travel photographer, not surpised. Then nothing until late August. I was excited until I saw the sale. .99 for a perpetual non-commercial license on an RM image. Bloody absurd.

Encouraging to see a couple of decent $$$ sales reported, Bill and Edo , congratulations on those!

August was average for me, a couple of mid-$$ sales. But I'm way off for the year so far. For 2020 ytd, FAA has provided me with over twice as much net as Alamy.

sales holding up well - but prices - oh dear - well south of $20 per image this year
