John Mitchell Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I don't mean this to be one of those tedious whining threads, but 2022 has gotten off to a very slow start for me with only one small sale showing up yesterday and just two zooms so far. Is anyone else experiencing this? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Kelly Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Very slow, only two tiny sales so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnans Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It's actually slow LOW start for me. Only seen the $1.56 gross RM licenses. Zooms are average in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderingemu Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 i wonder if Alamy will update us on the Zoom reduction project..... as for slow, same here. one tiny distro, and 3 zooms (though all 3 of them on specific searches where i was the only zoom, so fingers crossed) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramsay Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I was thinking the same for the first week, but then had 3 decent sales yesterday and another small one today Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 January has been pretty good so far with 11 sales and two of those are +$$$. On the assignment front, however, I am off to a slow start. Looking at past Januarys, I was much busier. I do have a new assistant working with me and she has been great so far, lots of energy and eager to learn photography! She even went to my old high school...of course only the name and location are the same. They rebuilt the school and I am very certain she had no teachers that I had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Nada, here. Zooms pitiful also. I guess most buyers spent their photo allotment by the end of the year and are taking a breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Slow start means some sort of movement, in my case nothing, zip, diddly sales or zooms however its early days 11.5 months to go. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemson Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 That $250 target is looking a long way away at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's $250 gross from last 1 July to this 30th June, Alamy's Revenue Year, clause 12 in our contract. Meanwhile, I have two sales this year: total net: $2.49.

Meanwhile, I have two sales total net: $2.49. Just summed my gross sales column, well in to retain 40% during last year. So far gross sales varied from $1.67 to $99. Hopefully sales will remain a viable mix of high and low value, though would prefer not to have the low ones, but can't see that changing. So far January is slow.

Doc Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Numbers quite good at 18 but poor prices - total of $246 gross Kumar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broad Norfolk Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 One sale and one zoom here so far this month. My sale a couple of days ago was the first since 5th Dec last and I normally get one per week on average at the minimum. Zooms seem to be almost non-existant. Very disappointing. Jim.

MariaJ Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 1 teeny sale and a few zooms so far. I was also wondering if the zooms/measures behind the scenes upgrades had been completed. It was supposed to start Sept 30 and last 3 months, wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David eastley Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 It hasn't been too bad for me given it always takes a few days after new year to get going. 6 sales mostly mid $$ looks like an ok start for 2022 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VbFolly Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Pretty slow for me, with 3 sales for just $34 gross so far, and 14 zooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 One zoom. ---------------------- No sales. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Early days. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Ore Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 One zoom out of 23 photos in my new portfolio. They looked; they zoomed (but they also zoomed on five others which were probably whole Leicas). The shot is one I've rather liked for a while, camera intimate details. I don't think it was ever zoomed in my first three or so years with Alamy, certainly never sold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Yes. Thirteen small sales so far, which may seem OK, but I generally average at least two sales per day over any given month and would expect at least a couple of higher value licences by now.

Marianne Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 No sales yet but CTR is above 1.00 so potential for various sales from various locations. Trying to start the year with a positive outlook. Grant funds landed in my account today from a business incubator program i completed in December, so that is a nice way to start the year, but there's much work to be done to meet the goals I've set for 2022.
