Bryan Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 After a long period of healthy sales, April is proving a disappointment, only two to date, and my CTR in free fall. I'm long enough in this game to know that there is no certainty, that some months are better than others, but it's always a concern when things slow right down. Hopefully next week will see some improvement ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 You’ve sold two more than I, Bryan. Like you, I realize there are good and bad months. I often don’t license anything early in the month. Sometimes…even later! 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Very slow for me as well, with only one sale reported so far. CTR and zooms healthy, though. Hopefully April is just a late bloomer and won't be the cruelest month. 🥀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VbFolly Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Same here. Just 2 sales so far, and fewer zooms than usual. I guess a lot of people are taking long Easter breaks. I checked previous results, and I didn't get any sales until the 12th April last year, so at least I'm ahead of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm long enough in this game to know that there is no certainty, that some months are better than others, but it's always a concern when things slow right down. Hopefully next week will see some improvement ! My sales often vary wildly, likely due to a relatively small port. Only one sale so far and at a fair price, worth more than 50 times the value of the $ sales, but could do with more. Many of my sales appear at the end of the month, so not over concerned yet. Now back to captioning and tagging a few images shot this week, then uploading while still topical and crossing fingers. Edit, a rare for me Saturday sale came in earlier, lower mid $$, so pleased no $ sales so far. May they continue, but I doubt they will.

meanderingemu Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 same here with a twist, after 3 solid months to start the year sales wise, nothing to start this month, but i've already had as many zoom in April as February and March combined.

Michael Ventura Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I've had four sales but all came in a 24 hour period earlier this week. My assignment work has been unusually slow too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broad Norfolk Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 A bit like after the Lord Mayor's show here this month. Nothing to show so far after a quite good March. Plenty of views and zooms and CTR is well up. Only five sales last April so hope springs eternal that it will pick up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David eastley Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Unusual for me to go this far into a month with no sales and with the slowdown expected due to Easter probably not going to be a great month but I guess every month can't be a record month. Still well ahead after the first 3 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAROL SAUNDERS Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Nothing for me so far but finding generally with me they tend to turn up later in the month🙏 However, zooms are increasing, would be nice if they turned into sales - I can dream.....

Avpics Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 My quantity of sales is reasonable but average value is likely a record low with most in the mid to low $ gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Only 4 sales for $7 net so far. Last month I had $111 by now at Alamy. Good start at AS for $60 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normspics Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 After a bumper month in March I only have one small sale in April so far. Zooms are doing well so there is that hope of future sales as the month progresses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TABan Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 It’s a slow month for most, including Alamy. Views and sales are down drastically from the same period in April of last year. I took a quick look at All of Alamy from a year ago to compare to now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest not sure i trust most of those results on a comparison basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest not sure i trust most of those results on a comparison basis. If you look at the percentage difference, it’s huge. There is something going on, it could be a number of things. My sales were humming along at a respectable clip and have suddenly drastically decreased. Zooms are way down. Is it something Alamy did or the current world conditions? Only folks who sell through multiple channels can answer that. Edited April 13, 2022 by TABan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally my zoom have been tanking for over 6 months (until last 2 weeks), but i have never seen any positive correlation between Zooms and Licences.

spacecadet Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) These days I get more Zooms talking to the family on a Saturday morning. More rewarding too. Edited April 13, 2022 by spacecadet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
