How was your October 2022?

[Alex Ramsay]

26 sales for $665 gross - just on the good side of average for me. In spite of adding quite a few pictures over the last twelve months, sales and revenue have remained roughly the same, disappointingly.

7 sales for $117 gross. Now exceeded last year's numbers but still a way to go on revenue.

[Stan Pritchard]

5199 views.  24 zooms.  Average CTR 0.46.

11 sales for a gross total of $460.61.  Highest $193.58.  Lowest $4.49.  Average $41.87.

A better average price than in recent months.

Not good at all, very disappointing

Just 1 for $6, Highest: $6 Lowest: $6 Average:....uummmmm  $6

 

More positively many more zooms after very erratic zoom behaviour over the last couple of months

More negatively not many of my zooms turn into sales, probably like me, my images look better from a distance

 

[wiskerke]

41 for 686

Disappointing month at Alamy with $42 net on 11 sales. 

 

As usual, full monthly report for all agencies I upload.

A good month for me - 25 sales for $425.48 (gross) plus an 'infringement revenue' of $84.99 (net).  One refund (-$10.98) and two 'other fees' (-$1.84).  Current cleared balance $271 plus (hopefully) DACS payment due soon.  

[Sultanpepa]

Very poor again. 11 for $43 gross. 😔

[Gnans]

Poor for me 😞 15 for  gross $80.84

 

In Oct 2022 I have doubled the number of license I did in 2021 but revenue hasn't reached what I had in 2021 😞 

[Ace]

5 for $15 gross

 

A year ago possibly would have been between $80-120 

It's all a bit grim 😕 

[aphperspective]

7-$49 gross the only positive just managed to stagger over the pay-out threshold by 2 bucks. 

[vpics]

67 for $1326. Very similar to last month. One $$$ sale only. 

[geoff s]

A good month for me, despite below average volume (9 sales) I managed just over $400 gross - double what I've achieved in any of the previous 12 months. Two $$$. 

Hopefully it's not an aberration...he says optimistically 😀

[Broad Norfolk]

Just 4 sales for $77 gross. Views still dropping considerably but zooms holding up which continues to increase my CTR. Can't say if anything positive will come out of this! My views have dropped some 60% since the beginning of the year and to my mind this means my work is not being seen as much as before despite me not changing my work processes!

Sorry - continuing whinge!!

This was not a good month for me at the big A.  I had two refunds for $62 net, plus $5 fees.  So my total from 14 sales only came to $162/63.  As bad as SS.  Both are more volatile than AS, holding steady at $204.

76 for $1297 gross, $518 net. only 2 $$$ sales, max $125. Average gross per sale $17. Total CTR  0.73

 

Oct 2021: 27,700 views, 191 zooms, 78 sales for a gross of $1694

Oct 2022: 17765 views, 130 zooms, 76 sales for a gross of $1297

 

My rank does not seem to have changed; the only explanation for the reduction in views and therefore zooms appears to be the new system Alamy has instituted where my images are rarely seen in searches larger than 200 images.

"my images are rarely seen in searches larger than 200 images." - That's the bit I don't understand. If images appear in searches of 100 then surely they also appear in searches over that figure. Or am I missing something ?

[Radim]

71 for $1589

I would like this every month

💪🤪

 

[ColdCoffee]

3 sales for a total of $25 gross. About normal for me with 2-3 sales per month, but average price is usually a bit higher.

[Paul Heinrich]

Just 2 sales for $35 gross. Views well down but CTR holding up.

Hi Reeray - what I meant was that looking at Measures, the largest searches my images have been seen can often only be as little as 200 or so views.  Or looking at it another way, in none of the search terms used that day in which my images were seen, did the searcher look at more than 200 images.

Goodish month but always room for improvement. Zooms = 60+. Views 12.5k+. Highest $$$. Lowest <$. Average $14.  41 licences for $500+.

[Abiyoyo]

Still poor month. 16 for $229

[Marianne]

2 at low $ each, and another from S, also sadly $, that still netted me more than the gross license fee of the two Alamy licenses. A sad month here. 

 

At this point I've had more licenses than in all of last year but gross revenue is only 46% of what it was last year. 

 

Average CTR at 1.01 and zooms are at their highest number all year even though views are down by 50%, so maybe November will be better? Still, I'll need some $$$ licenses in the next couple of months for revenue to catch up to last year.
