Stokie Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Just sold first image this month. I can't remember going 12 days before selling an image for a very long time! John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VbFolly Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 My sales are also unusually slow this month. I hope it'll pick up again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Only one sale that was refunded the next day so basically no sales this month!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve F Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) 4 so far, but pretty slow for me too. My steady increase in monthly sales numbers seems to have tailed off. Prices have dropped through the floor though, although got a mid $$ in today. Edited October 12, 2022 by Steve F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 As well as bargain basement pricing it seems to me that PA aren't trying to maximise sales that aren't 'designer'. Three so far this month for about $2.60 net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokie Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 I've usually got 5 or 6 by now. Only had 8 all last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember going 12 days before selling an image for a very long time! John. I've had one sale this month which was reported on the 6th. This was my next sale following the previous one on the 8th September. That was a gap of 28 days and, like you, that is a gap going way back into the distant past. Views seem to be almost non-existant too at the moment. What goes I wonder? Jim ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David eastley Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 hardly any views and only had my first zoom of the month today so not surprised that sales are rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvallee Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I thought it was only me. One only sale (presentaton) so far this month. I'm not a big seller but it is highly unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 No sales for me either so far this month. Are the effects of the new website frontend starting to "filter" through? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodvandigtid Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Agree with all - an exceptionally slow month in terms of sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) I would typically have about 8 to 10 by now but nadda thing. Zooms have been good, just nothing is coming through as sales yet. Edited October 12, 2022 by Michael Ventura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I only have one sale, of medication, PU. And as Michael inferred, it’ll probably be a refund because somebody thought they were ordering the med. On another front, though, it was zoomed. Since zooms are only recorded by regular customers, it makes me think it might stick. But that brings up another thought…did the customer buy it through PU to get the cheapest price while using it for another purpose? We’ve all suspected as much. My zooms are great recently, almost the best they’ve ever been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avpics Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Stock has fallen through the floor in September and October. I've been lucky with news to avoid total washouts but those sales aren't guaranteed and are damned hard work. I didn't really want to be doing so much of that as a plan going forward. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Kelly Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 VERY slow month for me, too. Only three sales netting just over $20. It definitely feels like the ship is sinking fast. I've been branching out into other areas, it's hard to stay motivated to put much work into stock at this point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Nelson Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 These comments make me feel somewhat better - September and October so far have been zeros, after a great August. And year to date sales at the end of August exceeded 2021 totals, but then stopped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxzoomy Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 No sales so far this month. Unusual. Is it the flat UK economy and anxiety about financial issues that is making buyers draw their horns in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the flat UK economy and anxiety about financial issues that is making buyers draw their horns in? Same here, but most of mine drop in during the last few days of the month. I don't think the uk economy issues are the problem, especially when many sales are for peanuts. It is worrying, but hopefully what I shoot between now and the month end will make a difference. The uk economy issues are more likely to effect concerned consumers, as its not just the markets that are worried. Six months assistance re energy costs will pass quickly, what then, the unknown. Could be precarious times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Watkins Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 More zooms than usual for me but no "reasonable" value licences. Two licences so far - A Bauer Media one for pennies and a low (as in only just) $$ for a PU. Coffees are on me (supermarket brand instant, bring your own milk/creamer).

Stokie Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 2 tiddlers of $0.24 ($0.10 for me) dropped in today. Maybe the dam has burst! It's good(?!) to hear i'm not the only one struggling just lately. My views are very low but i'm still getting zooms so CTR as of yesterday is 0.76, so above the Alamy average of 0.68. I'll keep uploading small batches when i'm in the mood - which isn't very often nowadays. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderingemu Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 only 2 licences so far, and one of a drug package image for "presentation" so i expect it to be refunded at some point. Only highlight no penny licences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
