sb photos Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) A poor month. Started off well with a good sale on the 1st, a fair sale on the 31st and low value sales in between. Zooms and views noticeably down. Only $42 for 7 sales. Edited September 1, 2023 by sb photos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve F Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Best ever month for revenue after my last best ever in June, 19 for $506 gross 🎉 Thought it was going to be a slow month, but some sales in the last few days came in clutch. CTR lowish at 0.56, not sure how much of that was measures not working properly. Edited September 1, 2023 by Steve F 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're having more fun shooting beautiful subjects than me 😉 A lot of fun for sure. We just spent a week driving through the desert, you should see the dust in our motorhome tonight... It was such a remote area that I don't think there is much sales potential. Edited September 1, 2023 by gvallee 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I'm still on the Alamy yoyo: In April $62, May $379, June $83, July $349, and now for August back to $70 based on 19 sales. At least AS and SS pulled in another $294 to take up the slack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Heinrich Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 OK for sales with 10 for $138 gross. Most prices poor with 3 @ 20c each and not even Chinese, these are to Belgium. View and zooms on the floor though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Kelly Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I had an alarmingly bad month - net of only $45. I can't remember the last time I had a month this bad, it's been years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 11 hours ago, Gabbro said: I'll set the sad tune, hope y'all did better than me. 11 sales for $267, highest $70. That's actually not that bad considering I had 19 sales for $199. Only 5 of the 19 were over $10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 One for $75 - meanwhile over $150 owed me has been outstanding for months - my net balance (what Alamy owes me) is $165+ while cleared balance is only $10. So frustrated. One fewer sale than all of last year, almost double the income, but I'm not seeing much of it as Alamy can't seem to collect from their clients - or, as last month, they had already collected $ owed after several months and then refunded it (despite it having cleared and been paid to me), leaving me with a negative balance, only to rebill it again for a higher amount but took away the partial payment leaving me with a negative balance. Other items cleared to put me in the black again but barely. Meanwhile I'm still awaiting payment for, e.g. a book published in June 2022. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 8 sales for $104 gross, $35 net. If the infringement invoices clear my gross sales so far in 2023 are now above last year's total even though I haven't submitted that many new images. So that's an encouraging sign, although I haven't checked the net revenue. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) For me, another "disappointing" month. Although 50 sales, for a total of $758 gross, $300 net, for the second month in a row, no $$$ sales; (best was $98). Rescued to an extent by $150+ from Other payments which I presume must be infringements? No refunds; only a couple of Distributor sales (in distribution now to US, Japan and have added back in Australia, Canada and NZ). Zooms 129, CTR 0.76 but I don't think these are the complete story as measures was obviously not working properly for nearly a week towards the end of the month. Indeed one has to question whether measures ever works perfectly Best wishes to all Kumar Edited September 4, 2023 by Doc spelling 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that CTR% is (we believe) an ingredient used to calculate a contributor's Alamy rank, which in turn influences where their images appear in search results, and hence influences how likely they are to get views and thereby sales. So, if that's true, it really shouldn't be "bottom of the pile"... Mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
