Bryan 15,143 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Sales volume up slightly on last 2 years but down slightly on best ever. Gross revenue down by about 30% on best ever, so net down further. One (kind of) positive, the rate of decline in gross revenue eased during this year after two years of approaching freefall. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Jordan 195 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Sales this year 128 - most ever. Last year it was 114 gross revenue was about $2500 same as this year. The last year which had less gross revenue than this was back in 2010 when 46 sales produced about $1900 With Covid restrictions and on-going cancer treatment I was pleased to add 855. In normal times most of my images come from towns and cities but I have been to any of those in 2020. I am still very pleased to be an Alamy Contributor - it is what I do, Thanks Alamy for doing so well in this difficult year. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Colblimp 2,421 Posted January 1 Popular Post Share Posted January 1 Best year ever for me in terms of sales and revenue. Here's the skinny ($ all gross): 2016 - 5 sales for $346 2017 - 39 sales for $1,368 2018 - 82 sales for $3,680 2019 - 156 sales for $4,511 2020 - 292 sales for $6,538 For 2021 I'm aiming for 10,000 in my port and an increase in sales and a big increase in revenue. Onwards! 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Sally R 822 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 At the end of my first full year at Alamy (joined 29 September 2019). For 2020 I have 6 sales for $142 gross. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Cryptoprocta 784 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Sales: -13%, compared to 2019. Revenue: -30% compared to 2019, -47% compared to 2018. (gross, from chart on dashboard) Worst full year for gross revenue, only worse year was 2009, the year I started. Admittedly, due to personal circumstances, I hardly uploaded anything this year. These circumstances have changed, but I'm not sure whether it would be worth the effort: there is almost no 'live news' down here which is of interest to the nationals, and the local papers don't pay for images, or at least they don't use Alamy/other agency images. General stock prices are shooting down, but with no uptick (for me, at least) in sales. My 'other place' is also declining, but - with fewer files - I've already earned double what I earned on Alamy this year, with a month still to report (I uploaded even fewer files there this year). Things aren't likely to get better there either. A lot of calculating to do. Edited January 1 by Cryptoprocta Link to post Share on other sites
