Reimar Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 How was your year at Alamy? Mine started strong with an average of $304 net/month up to July. The average for the rest of the year was $130 net. I hope things pick up again in January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) 2022 was just short of last year's record number of sales but nearly the worst year for revenue since I started. sales/average gross 2020 - 194 / $51 2021 - 254 / $42 2022 - 243 / $33 Edited December 31, 2022 by Michael Ventura 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David eastley Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 When the re-rank and all the other changes happened mid year I thought the year was going to be grim. In the second half year my views and zooms did indeed crash and were down 60% but I was surprised that sales kept coming but at a slower rate. For me prices were much better in the second half year with very few tiddlers and a steady number of $$$ so my second half had reduced sales but better revenue. Following 12 consecutive years of growth 2022 ended slightly down but still my second best year ever. Sales were down by just 7 sales and revenue by around $400. Given the turbulence caused mid year, and that Alamy now has over 300 million images for clients to pick from I can live with that. Lets hope my views and zooms pick up to get back to winning ways. Happy new year everyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Lewis Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 After receiving a very late sale this morning I can say the following: Total Sales: 62 The highest ever for me and not bad considering how few images I have in my port. My gross sales were 27% higher than 2021 but my gross income (not net) was 30% lower. Interesting fact on this year's sales, RF per sale was $59.39 average and RM per sale was $19.09! This is just the opposite of last year. My overall average per sale (RF & RM) was $24.95 which is close to half what it was in 2021. The industry is certainly changing. To compare; I sold 36 in 2020 but averaged $77 per sale, my highest gross since starting on Alamy. Rick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VbFolly Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) I had 389 licenses for $7685 gross, which was my best ever for number of licenses and income. Number of licenses was up 46% on last year (my previous highest). Gross income was up 32%, but net income only up by 19.2% My average license fee continued to go down a little, but I had a few nice infringement fees to balance that out a bit.

Steve Hyde Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) My best year for sales. I’ve steadily increased my sales volumes over the past five years with 2021 ending on 83 sales. 2022 ended with 200 sales at an average of $11 per sale Edited December 31, 2022 by Steve Hyde 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 814 for £12,182. Both are record highs but reflect my continued efforts in adding images rather than improvements at Alamy! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonsrkn Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Compared to last year 143/78 so 183% of last year's sale volume. However gross income is 134%. By the time you factor in the reduction from 50% to 40% contributor commission as well as what seems like an increase in distributor sales not sure if 2022's net income is actually higher than 2021's. My avg sales price/image is at $32 this year vs $44 last year. Edited December 31, 2022 by antonsrkn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Second best year for total number of sales. Gross revenue was up about 18% from 2021. That said, I made roughly the same amount (gross) in 2010 from one-third the number of sales. Interestingly, the last three years have been fairly consistent for me: sales / average price 2020 -- 153 / $44 2021 -- 151 / $35 2022 -- 160 / $39 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Sales numbers are essentially meaningless for me since those micro sales to China started last year. For example: 2020 148 sales $24 average gross 2021 281 $21 2022 394 $18 Having said that, my revenue doubled between 2020 (a particularly bad year) and 2022.

Gabbro Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Sales number is the highest ever, but total gross is far short. $/sale is still holding up well at ~ $37. Total 16 $$$ sales for the year. So they still happen, highest $273. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbimages Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I had exactly the same number of sales as 2021 = 72. But gross down from $2,627 in 2021 to $2,408 in 2022. Average gross for 2022 = $33.44 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasilnut Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Pretty bad - year-on-year increase of 1,288 images (9% portfolio increase), but earnings dropped from $1,126 net in 2021 to $492 net in 2022. 🤨 Full detailed yearly review for all agencies I submit to here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReeRay Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Best year ever for number of sales, up 35% but revenue down 17.5%. I'm happy with that as I haven't uploaded since June 2022 due to uprooting my location and travelling. Now I've touched base and soon my possessions will be with me and uploading will recommence. I'm very optimistic for 2023. Edited January 1, 2023 by ReeRay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickmaslen Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 205 sales for $4345 gross plus $400 infringement fees. Highest ever number of sales but not highest revenue. Happy new year! Nick 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvallee Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Everything was going well in 2022 until the re-rank or whatever happened. Then sales collapsed. Result: less sales than last year, highest revenue ever but data are skewed by the recent $$$$ sale, so in reality, it's less sales, lower net income. Overall, I'm a whisker under $90,000. So I have no chance to ever make it to the $100k Club. Edited January 1, 2023 by gvallee 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Sales up 24% to 297 but gross revenue down 8% compared to last year. Gross revenue down 37% on best ever year which was 2017, it has fallen every year since, despite adding more images and seeing more sales. Net income, let's not go there .....

Abiyoyo Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Second best year in sales but third in revenues. 9% less in sales w.r.t 2021 and 47% less in revenue, gross. Mainly due to a very poor July - Nov 2022 months Edited January 1, 2023 by Abiyoyo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Licences up 50% on last year but gross revenue flat, to many MS prices, sign of the times allot more effort just to stand still. Andy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
