losdemas Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 OK, I'll call it! 😉😆 3 for 19. The best (ironically) being a non-exclusive presentation! Aside from actually having sales, things are trending ever-lower. Trying to laugh. 😅 On the plus side (I think?!), views, zooms and CTR have risen quite a bit. Not sure if this is to do with the retirement of the UKNS as was, or that my images are now being sought by lots of up-market book publishers, advertisers & TV producers who are dying to get their hands on my work. Probably the latter, eh? 🤣 I know that quite a few contributors are mentioning increased sales and quite a few have mentioned decent $$$, so let rip with all your good news below 😃: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 0 for September, 3 for a October, 0 for November. Zooms are getting healthy again although down from my best. I feel I’ve made some sales, at least one or two but they aren’t reported. Maybe I’m getting paranoid, but I’ve had enough one only zooms to think something should have licensed. Whatever, I’ll not stress over it. I think Covid has put a damper on what I shoot, and that has an effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Below average month for me with 10 sales for $308 gross. One $$$ (barely) license to report. Old repeat-sellers are continuing to keep me afloat, but I was happy to see a couple of newer images license for the first time, one of them for a decent price. Zooms, CTR, and motivation remain at sagging "pandemic" levels, which was not unexpected. Looking forward to hearing better news in this thread...

gvallee Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) 15 sales for $440. Best price x3 for $70+. Lowest, the usual CT $3.15 However, one refund for $70 which had been cleared and PAID to me last month. Now it is clawed back on my future sales. Recently, Alamy had said it rarely happens. Yeah right, I must be the unlucky one. I queried it and got a reply along the lines of s**t happens. CTR .79, views and zooms slighly down but not by much. So sorry, Losdemas, nothing to crow about from me. Edited December 1, 2020 by gvallee 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 November was a little above average for me. 17 sales for a gross of $1030. 3 sales 100+. I am still behind last year’s sales and revenue...I would need a super December to reach last year’s totals. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbro Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 7 for $248, all in $$ range. Beat the low point of the year (April). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Douglas Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 12 sales for $247 gross. Boosted by some Calendar sales which crop up at this time of year. My sales volume has already exceeded last year, but revenue is lagging quite a way behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) 12 sales for $345 gross, $157 net. An above average month for me. That's two in a row now. I hope it continues. 🙂 84 sales so far this year versus 67 for whole of 2019, so well ahead on volume, and gross revenue now up slightly ($2,142 this year versus $2,041 for whole of 2019). If Dec is a reasonable month too it could be a record Gross sales year for me, although I'll need to check the net figures to get a more relevant comparison. Thanks Alamy!

David eastley Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 already my best year ever for volume and revenue with an improvement in average price. Average sales in November with views up but for some reason zooms way down so not expecting much in December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Crean Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) 10 which is just about the average for the last two years despite increasing submissions. Fees abysmal... only one half decent $$ which was allegedly an Irish TV use and I would have expected a much higher fee for that! 3 of the same event, a ferry running aground(!!!) went personal use at a much reduced rate. 3 of the low $$ were distribution, so low net. Going into December needing 19 sales to equal best years volume, (2019) and over $1200 to equal best gross, (2018).... A bit unlikely methinks 😏 Phil Edited December 1, 2020 by Phil Crean Adjust dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hyde Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 About average for me this year. 5 sales for $121.25 gross. I’m now one sale short of my total sales total for 2019 but currently about $800 short of my revenue total for last year. Still, it’s been a tough year and I’m just pleased to be getting regular sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Four for $292 gross - a rather good month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VbFolly Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 A good month for me, with 15 for $556 gross, including one $$$. Zooms and CTR also quite high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramsay Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 20 sales for $491 gross - not (quite) the lowest figures for the last year, but certainly at the bottom of my normal range Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Best month for months with 22 for $666, helped hugely by 9 calendar sales. No $$$ leases. Keeping things in perspective, I've only just limped over the line for a December payout, which is a worry, and zooms pretty poor. Overall number of sales similar to last year but income well down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve F Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 5 for $104. I've sold 63 so far this year vs. 51 total for last year, which is good although I've increased my portfolio size. I'm just short of last year's revenue so fees continue to drop; maybe it was a bit worse this year because of Covid. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 6 sales for $132. Just passed last years totals. Plenty of views, but zooms falling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some come in September, which resulted in sale of the same images at the very end of October which still has not resulted in a cleared payment. Boy is it a slow process. I suspect you are right that sales have happened and just not been reported yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Heinrich Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 3 sales for $26 gross. Views well down on last year but zooms rose significantly in the last week of November. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of 5 sales now gone into the 5th month unreported... I emailed after 3 months and was advised to email after 4 if not reported which I did... 5 month email early next week if not reported by then...😏 Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Lowe Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 A record month for me in terms of number of sales (but not revenue) thanks to 17 calendar sales. Total 28 - $697.56 Almost reached last year's total sales, which was also a record, but revenue well down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Mostly UK editorials this month all tiddlers. Sales running at 30% more than last year but net revenue still below that. Still got a large backlog of uncleared so looking hopeful ish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
