stipe Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Don't worry guys, four more days and most of you, as usual, will post in "How was your January?" to having experienced the best month ever in terms of sales or number of sold images since the end of Second World War or so.

Love it! Have you got access to my dashboard? 😂 I've just had a sale! Well, it is one I already knew about (and a newspaper to boot), but hey. 1 hour ago, losdemas said: 0...and counting! 😁 EDIT: 1....and counting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the best since the second world war but this years duck has been broken with 4 small newspaper sales just in. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) 4 for me, all low $$ 2 on BBC website, one in the Mail and one personal copy of a couple of Cherry Pickers being used by camera crews, I did think I should get a print framed and offer the option on a POD site!😀 , Edited January 27, 2021 by ChrisC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avpics Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Sixteen sales have come in so far today. Normally that would go into the 'good news' thread, but it sadly still doesn't raise January even to an average month. There's still time I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderingemu Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 no month end bump for 3rd month in a row.... oh well, still plodding along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 At the risk of encouraging starting the "How was your January" thread on Jan 1 like the other (turquoise rather than blue) forum, I've had a surprisingly normal month like in years past. So far that is $699/262 based on 12 sales. I have in the back of my mind a suspicion that upload frequency is related to rank. Last year I uploaded 28 images. I sold and bought a house and didn't have time for pictures. My income last year at Alamy was less than half of years past. Every year in the past 15 years, I've uploaded 500-1000 images per year. Starting this January I have uploaded about 2 images every working day. I can't help but think that my very poor performance last year was the result of a lack of new uploads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFisher Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 The number of sales is good at 8, with most in the mid $$ and one in the high $$, but I've also had a .10 cent and today a .40 cent sale, so the dollar amount isn't spectacular.

Same situation for me..But for past 2 years. Busy studying for an exam. Very few uploads .. result - 50% sales & income. Back on track now.. when we can get out and shoot that is. Moral of the story imo upload regularly. Interesting to hear of your experience. All the best. Edited February 2, 2021 by Ace Spelling ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 1 hour ago, spacecadet said: I haven't found a correlation. I imagine that it depends somewhat on the content of your portfolio. If you have a lot of repeat sellers with long shelf lives and good ranking, then uploading infrequently probably won't affect sales that much. That said, feeding the beast regularly is a good idea if you want to keep it happy in the long term. 🦍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Really, rteally slow for me this month. Not a single sale reported yet in March... Feeling sorry for myself. 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stipe Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Cut and paste. Please, substitute four more days with a few more weeks and January with March only: Don't worry guys, four more days and most of you, as usual, will post in "How was your January?" to having experienced the best month ever in terms of sales or number of sold images since the end of Second World War or so. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Poor so far, a couple of low $$ sales - below average, but the month is yet young. Zooms not bad though, indeed positively stratospheric, compared to my normally desperately mediocre standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I have a few sales but still on the slow side. It seems that most of the action these days (sales wise) happens in the second half of the month...fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reimar Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Yes, Alamy is very slow this month. Only 4 micro-stock fees ($1.6-$2.3) so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 While I'm sorry to hear that March is a slow-starter for others as well, I'm feeling somewhat better now. Perhaps this should be renamed the bi-monthly "therapy thread". 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
