Betty LaRue Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Last month was my BME for sales, not revenue. I’ve not made a single sale in September. Feast or famine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve F Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I'm feeling upbeat for the first time in a while about stock. I've had 5 sales so far this month, $134 gross. Have started uploading again. Portfolio seems to be big enough that I'm now getting regular sales each month, approx. 7-8. This is what I was hoping for when I got into stock - unfortunately I didn't know what was happening with the fees! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Been slow for me as well. I have some sales but fewer than usual and at low fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andremichel Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) August was average but September has so far been a cliff drop for both zooms and sales Edited September 12, 2021 by andremichel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 'Twas an average month for me. I'm hoping for a good final week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Still have a little more than 2.5 weeks of September....fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Slow implies some sort of movement which is not happening yet for me.😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I've 5 sales this month, all for varying levels of $, but I'm not worried as I always get a bunch at the end of the month. However, I AM worried about the fees, which are getting lower and lower. It really isn't acceptable - when will the powers that be cop on and address this massive problem?

Broad Norfolk Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 A slow month so far with just one sale but on the bright side it's a $$$ effort!! Jim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David eastley Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 quite unusual for me but after 2 weeks not a single sale. I was concerned when I saw the big fall in both views and zooms last month. I need a dramatic next two weeks to recover the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Much more active month for me so far with 10 sales, including some decent prices hidden amongst the usual tiddlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 9 so far, but no big earners. Best a book sale but only mediocre $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do expect some sales to eventually roll in. Absolutely not stressing about it. These blank spots happen now and then, and usually happen after a good month like I had in August.

Bryan Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Very slow in terms of earning money. I have to go back 20 sales to find one that netted me even low $$. Prices appalling. Edited September 17, 2021 by Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riccarbi Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Very bad month, so far. Zero sales by mid-September is really unusual. Furthermore, it's been a long time since I got a sale cleared; I am stuck slightly under the payment threshold since June, with several old sales still uncleared after months. Everything seems to have slowed down at Alamy this summer. Edited September 17, 2021 by riccarbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gaffen Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Been an OK month for me, with 7 sales so far, one of which was quite a descent price! Edited September 17, 2021 by John Gaffen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Richards Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 August was bad with just one mediocre sale. This month shaping up to beat it unless something comes in before month end. Views seem consistent but Zooms are noticeably down and have been for a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 A lousy month for me so far. Have had some sales but all low fees. I even had one sale reported today that was refunded immediately...so the sale was posted and refunded at the same time...why bother posting it at all?

KFisher Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Had a few decent months lately. This month at least so far is crap. I've had three sales/downloads and I've made a total of .50 cents (.20, 20 and .10). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Lousy month here so far too. A personal use for a milk cool box on doorstep, then refunded the next day. Alamy may say the customer thought they were buying the physical item and then realised their mistake. I've already added "PHOTOGRAPH!!" into my caption of a photo of a tube of ointment which suffered this PU sale refund several times and it hasn't happened since. I've also had sales on eBay where it's clear the buyer hasn't read the description, just saw the picture and hit "Buy it Now"... Duh....

July and August were poor; September is good so far. 🎢 I also find that sales often show up clumps with longish spaces between them. Must have something to do with how Alamy bills customers (?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
