TABan Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 2 hours ago, meanderingemu said: as i said, Alamy never really updated on the impact of their review. 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. I've seen other people say that about zooms and sales, but I get a fair number of sales from zooms. I also get out of the blue sales. But I also get a fair number of unique zooms where the viewer doesn't zoom anything from anyone else. I do a fair amount of promotion on social media, so that might have something to do with it.

I just had a quick calculation and sales from zoom is under 14% of my net revenue for last year. Curious does the promotion on Social Media affect potential infringement pursuit from Alamy?

No, because I link to the image on Alamy. I put recent sales on LinkedIn. I have a fair number of connections who are stock image users.

John Mitchell Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 April finally started to bloom for me this week, with several new sales (including two today) popping up. 🌷 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatler56 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I've had five sales so far this month (total around $75, so my cut is around $30) I still feel peeved by the contact drop of 50 to 40%! Three were 'pointless' sales of $2-3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious how these would appear as Zoom, wouldn't a direct link just go straight to sales if there was no search in first place. still i might give it a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariaJ Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Definitely slow month for me. No sales yet after last month's record number. Perhaps it's just regression toward the mean. But hoping for some blooming sales soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geogphotos Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) I can't see the point of these month by month threads. There is nothing that is significantly different between April and March or any reason to expect why there should be. The other thing that is if, as I have done in the past, you happen to post postive news you are accused of boasting. I think the last accusation was about showing off about feasting while watching others starve.. So, essentially these are just mutual moaning sympathy sessions with no other experience welcomed.

So, essentially these are just mutual moaning sympathy sessions with no other experience welcomed. to me if it can give a feeling to someone that they are not alone i will provide my information, also the issue of system inconsistency over the last couple of year, and lack of Alamy updates-though to my knowledge other then a few distributors accumulating all sales for long period not sure we have seen conclusive one on sales.. That said i agree with your comments on the positive news. I for one will always be thankful for anyone that shares info on success here, type of images, new avenues- i look at your archive work with interest (still need to figure out the chicken and egg access game) and i thank you for highlighting the potential of infringement research, one success, one Alamy grumbling, 3 on the go. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I take it back. I'm up to 6 sales now, for $958 net. That sale for an ad campaign ($884) really helped. That blows everyplace else out of the water. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Photography Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 On 09/04/2022 at 03:04, Bryan said: 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 ! This is the Easter dead zone. I checked my sales history for April 2021. One sale at the start of the month and then 4 sales after the Easter flatline was over. This year is the same, one sale at the start and then 5 $$ sales today. The next dead zone is August when all the buyers will be heading off to a sunny climate again 🌴 😎 🌴 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One PU sale came and was refunded the same day, of a photo that has sold several times before. One wonders if the buyer is now printing it out to hang on their wall.

April seems to be tapering off into a dribble of tiddlers for me -- last five sales were all low $ (not much better than nowt), but still a few days left for possible redemption. 🐰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
