JaniMarkus Hasa 150 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 (edited) No reported sales since August 25th. Yet, there's at least 10 unreported sales, oldest from May 5th. Mostly distributor sales to Finnish media, so my share will about $ 1.7 each whenever they will be reported. CTR 0.74 which is unusual high for me.

Broad Norfolk 185 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 8 sales for me which is a slight improvement but revenue only just scraped into $$$. Views remain stable and zooms just about doubled. Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites

John Richmond 1,093 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Best month this year for numbers - 45 sales - but revenue only third best - $691 gross / $326 nett. Zooms 68 for 0.94 CTR, a bit below average. Quite a reasonable month, all in all. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Cryptoprocta 774 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 8 sales for me, but an unrebought refund left my month on $34.20 net. Worse, only 14 zooms over the whole month. 😞 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

David eastley 44 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 After 8 months I was on target for my best year ever ( volume and value) but September has been shocking with just 4 sales. Its been a long time since I have seen such low numbers. Still, CTR looks ok so perhaps back on track in October. We all live in hope 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jansos 660 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I’m getting out and about less now, due to Covid, so am reasonably happy with 25 for $617 gross. (only one $$$!). How has Covid impacted your sales? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
wiskerke 3,132 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 (edited) 17 for 505. Both numbers going down rapidly. 2016 was my best year and it has been going downhill slowly after that. A bit quicker after 2018 and now a nose dive since November 2019. I remember my numbers being a very good indicator of the previous Great Recession. When was Brexit again? wim edit: this month I had: 4x distributor 5x personal use 1 presentation Edited October 1 by wiskerke 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Next you need to say that the problem is not with Alamy but with you. That's the way break-ups go. 4 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

John Mitchell 4,479 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 16 hours ago, Michael Ventura said: An average number of sales, 17, but prices were lower in September....$677 gross. An odd thing happened this month, I had four sets of twin sales! This means that 4 buyers each licensed two photos of mine from the same subject or shoot. That helped my month for sure! I've noticed this happening more often as well -- i.e. two images from the same set licensing to the same client. They are always "exclusive" images, which makes me think that Alamy is having some luck with using exclusivity as a marketing tool. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Marb 139 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 2 x sales for the paltry amount of $13 each gross. Pathetic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

riccarbi 116 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 1 hour ago, Craig Yates said: 17 for $164. Ouch. I was thinking my 6 for $161 was low, but 17 for $164, less than $5 net per sale, are near-to-microstock prices. Furthemore, I had a look at you port, and I think your pictures are really good, and deserve to be paid much more than this. I fear there's something wrong going on at Alamy... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Betty LaRue 2,877 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 (edited) First time in many years I was BLANKED! Zero. Pfffft. This ought to make many of you feel better. I just set the curve. Edited October 1 by Betty LaRue 6 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm holding out for the hope that it's a delay in the reporting system perhaps caused by the strange times we're in, rather than images simply not selling. I'm aware of sales made in July and early August which have yet to appear so there may be quantities that are also to come through at a later date. Link to post Share on other sites

shearwater 1,221 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Zero, nothing. Two months in a row. Average views. CTR high: 1,08 (thanks to four strange zooms of a same subject in a sunday). Still waiting for four distribution licenses not reported yet from may (2), july and august. More luck next month. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
