Colblimp Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 A good month for sales with 49, but a bad month for fees at $806. I managed 4 at low $$$, 7 at very low $$ and the rest were $ rubbish. June has already yielded a high $$ sale so this could be a good month. Onwards! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Good month for sales @15, average poor at just over $12. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) second month in a row where numbers of sales are approaching pre-pandemic numbers, but gross income still falling a bit short. 71 for $1550; only one for $$$ (and that's one I will be likely removing in the next few weeks).. CTR 0.69 Kumar Edited June 1, 2021 by Doc 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a relatively low port, you achieve effective results. I think you know exactly what you're doing. No need to travel to Machu Picchu, China and the bushes yet. There are a lot of interesting things around us when we know how to catch them. 🙃 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take me a lot of time and I would not have time for a homemade dinner. I'm probably getting old or I'm getting spoiled, maybe both.

Popular Post Sally Posted June 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Second highest number of sales in the last year (50) and second highest revenue in the last year. Five $$$ with one being my highest sale ever at over $200 but that’s only because they were all live news. Some $$ stock and loads of tiddlers. Without live news it would be a different picture. And I am not embracing the prospect of only 40% for live news in the new contract. Edit: just had two $$ sales reported so hopefully a decent June too.

AlbertSnapper Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 01 May 2021 to 31 May 2021 ( 7 item(s) totalling $151.22 ). 50% = $75.61 40% = $60.48 A businessman I know said that if you can't get your customers to pay you a reasonable rate, then change your customers !

M.Chapman Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 15 sales for $242 gross, $142 net.🙂 But... I notice one image sold 3x on the same day with the identical terms, and another sold 2x on the same day, again with identical terms. I fear a glitch in the system and refunds may follow. If they do that would knock the numbers down to $187 gross, $84 net.😞 I'm also seeing a further drop in the fees paid by newpapers. 😞 On the bright side CTR% and Zooms still holding up well.

Mr Standfast Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 As usual my slightly different take on this... One licence arrived 10 days after going online, fastest yet. The oldest licence was for a 10 year old picture. Stay safe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I live alone, retired, and both photography and painting gives me something to get up for every day. If I’m going to do it anyway, I’ll not turn down the small income to pay for my cameras. I have all the lenses I’ll ever need, but I do upgrade cameras every so often. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
