10 licenses for $280

 

 

 

I don't know if I'd rather have more sales or higher return per image. Yours is good too Mark.

 

Middling month, 20 for $260. 18 zooms, CTR 0.49

Steve, you had x2 as many licenses as me with a portfolio x5 smaller. You're doing well. It says a lot about my port saleability but in my head I've been through the reasons why many times before. I accept it.

A big fat zero for me. In fact I haven't had a sale since mid-November. Discouraging as this is usually the time I get more sales with planting season coming up. ☹️

One $ sale, but it was really from January, when it was published. 2024 has been sadly lacking. Zooms for February were basically non-existent. My CTR is good, for what it's worth...I decided to pare down keywords to be specific and less than the magic 40, so that "Discoverability" is no longer paramount.

 

When I did a search for baby giraffe (I have uploaded some images a month ago), I get images of baby giraffes, blurry graffes, diapers(?) and babies with giraffe hats, and absolutely nothing of mine after going through 12 pages. Time to go diving and forget about all this!

Second best month this year with 20 sales for $657 gross. Two $$$ to report (book use and TV use).

 

Low payout this month, though, less than half of what I can normally count on. 😞

Below average, only 2 sales for low $$ gross, disappointing, but a banner month on the soon to be discontinued sister site (over $325 net for one image) so that certainly brightened my month.  Otherwise, sales are much slower than last year, both in volume and $$. Views keep going down, only 830 in the rolling month, I used to have around 2,000 only a few years ago, and my CTR is also sliding down -spiking down, in fact. 

 

It's been a slow month everywhere else - even my fine art sales are down. February is always my worst month, though, so I'll keep uploading and see if things pick up. 

 

Edit: I had two fine art sales via an agent yesterday that showed up in my account this morning. That and S have helped make February a good month and not a disappointment.

12 for $397 which is right around my average. Nothing too exciting but happy to see an improvement from last month which was the worst in both sales and revenue in years.

A good month for sales but prices not great. 26 for $429 gross $167 Net.

 

Average gross $16.5 net $6.4.

 

Better news a $126 infringement payment reduced by $6 worth of affiliate fees. I was initially sceptical about the infringement thing, but credit to Alamy, it's a good additional earner.

44 sales for $1314 gross,  $525 net.

 

That's my best ever month for income - greatly helped by 6 licenses in the low $$$ range, including 4 on the 1st Feb.

 

Also had 2 infringements yesterday totalling $131 net, immediately cleared, which is great to see.
