Yes, realising it will take some time to build up sales, but I do enjoy it so that keeps me going. Link to post Share on other sites

Wahavi 27 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 My second full year here. In 2019 I had only 3 sales, in 2020 it was 21. Revenue was doubled. Thanks all of you for the plenty of advice, and Alamy for connecting to buyers! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
shearwater 1,516 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 2019 vs 2020: Port increase: +26% (+444 images) Views: -9% Zooms: +48% (best year) Number sales: +138% (best year) Gross income: +89,7% (included ASCRL and DACS payments, first time) (best year) Net income: +90,6% (best year) Gross and net average price: -20% (this is going downhill year by year…worst ever) Earnings per image per year: +51% Yet to consider that 2019 wasn’t a good year in numbers compared to 2018 (which is the year I started to increase my port and have regular sales), so 2020 numbers seems quite good relatively. Thank you Alamy. For a better new year! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Betty LaRue 3,279 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 2020 Sales volume down 30% but income only $17 less than 2019. I can live with that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Inge Johnsson 2 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Sales volume was on par with recent years, but income far lower. Worst income since 2013. Seems to me that average license sales prices have plummeted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Lewis 157 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Best year ever for me here on Alamy. I sold more in 2020 than in 2019. My net went way up due to this but my average per sale went up also. Hoping 2021 continues this trend for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Rick, do you realize the first photo on page one using your blue numbers says “date taken 3rd January 23”? They made a movie about time travel, but....wanna see the car you use 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Nacke 1,104 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 2020 was true to the end, not a great year for me in most respects. Most licenses, but less income. Chuck Link to post Share on other sites
chris_rabe 78 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) I only really started uploading in 2018, first sale was only in 2019. Here's how my 2019 compares to 2020. 2019: sales - 8 revenue - lowish $$$ 2020: sales - 21 revenue - very high $$$. oh so nearly $$$$ almost a triple of sales volume, and a five fold increase in revenue. Am happy with that. Though, I don't hope for much of an increase over 2020 this year. While I have added more, and still have a fair few more to add, it's not as much of an increase in image count as I'd like due to covid. Have been so slow to list a lot of images that probably could have netted me a few extra sales. I just don't have the energy. This year I aim to become properly exclusive here. I just don't see the micro's as worth it. Came off shutterstock after their royalty changes, and the others don't do much for me. Edited January 14 by chris_rabe Link to post Share on other sites
