Alex Ramsay Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Here we are halfway through the year, with slightly fewer than half last year's total sales and slightly more than half last year's total revenue - plus ça change . . . Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Interesting. Having a look at my figures shows similar, an improving value per image on roughly the same rate of licences reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I am at less than 50% of last year's figures, both sales and revenue numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David eastley Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 shaping up for a very poor year for me, perhaps the worst for 5 years. Sales just 40% and revenue just 36%. Every went wrong after the re-rank with views down 60% and I really don't understand why. It is very dispiriting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Probably best to do this at the end of the month after we have 6 months sales data. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Mid year day is always July 2nd ( 182.5 or 183 days for leap years) - which is a Sunday in 2023. So the last day in June would be the ideal day to do a half year report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your point - but the solstice has always seemed to me to be a good marker! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales just 40% and revenue just 36%. Every went wrong after the re-rank with views down 60% and I really don't understand why. It is very dispiriting. We all can have ups and downs. 2022 was an awful year, highest ever number of sales but revenue around 50% of my previously highest in 2021. This year should be my highest yet for revenue, but with a smallish port one can never be sure. My views are way down on what they used to be and zooms/CTR lowish, but buyers seem to find what they are looking for. I just hope I can continue shooting what is or becomes topical. Also if its no effort I will shoot well images relating to news items as I expect them to become newsworthy again. Recent zooms have proven me right.

John Mitchell Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Currently I'm just over 50% of last year's totals for both sales and gross revenue. June is shaping up to be a very good month, so that might boost things a bit more, barring the dreaded "R-word" (refunds). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normspics Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 My sales volume is up at mid year at 65% so great to see an increase in licences, financial revenue at mid year not so good only 25% of last year. Last year was my best ever for $’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
