CRS Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I normally get 3-5 sales every month, for the last 2-3 months only one sale a month and I've even started to make my editorial photos exclusive to Alamy, wondering if perhaps only RF portfolio might be the problem suddenly?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four sales in total, three of them very early. One on the twelfth. Totalling just over 10 bucks. Still a wee bit to go though. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a wee bit to go though. 🤔 Ditto, 4 sales, 3 early, one on 13th, $13 gross. Not happy at all. I thought that having got the hang of what sells, and producing more of it, I should be increasing sales. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Ashmore Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 August was terrible. September, while not exactly setting the world on fire is at least proving to be better than August. 2 hours ago, Steve F said: I thought that having got the hang of what sells, and producing more of it, I should be increasing sales. I tend to just take a scatter gun approach and photograph whatever interests me. Alamy is definitely a numbers game... throw enough mud and some of it will stick. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Had an unusual for me spike in Alamy sales mid-July after a scattering of sales in first half of year. Nothing since mid-July. Otherwise my video footage clip sales on another platform have completely collapsed with no sales since early January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month was ok, would have been better if a higher value sale wasn't refunded 2 days after being licensed. Hopefully there will be a little rush at the month end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 One in July ( sort of ), three in August, nothing so far this month, all very odd. The July "sale" was originally licenced in June for $218.08, refunded in July and then licenced again for $12.27 ... way to go PAlamy .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve F Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) I got my 5th sale today, taking me to a whopping $17 gross for the month. Then another sale came in for $100. Swings and roundabouts! p.s. All images were taken at home, one was looking out of the window... Edited September 18 by Steve F 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avpics Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Mine are just silly fees. 41 for $564 thus far. I'm very happy to have reported licences dropping in at pace but some value being put on them would be welcome! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay D Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 No sales for September although a friend has bought and hung one of mine in her dining room in the last two weeks ;). Not sure what the time lag is for sales tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I see something I think might sell, I snap it! Just moaning because I've added a lot of images this year, but this seems to be the first time I'm not seeing a correlation between my portfolio size and my results. But hey, still a quarter to go...

CAROL SAUNDERS Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Not a great few months for me either😪 & still don't get the newest or relevant thing when I look at my own images, very frustrating all round... Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broad Norfolk Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Only one sale for a low $ gross this month so far! Follows the trend for the past few months! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 16 for $317 gross so far this month so going reasonably well. Hardly surprising, given my niche, they're all botanical / horticultural, so at least that market is holding up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Johnson Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Measures looking very bad, getting worse! Feels like a shadow ban... One tiny sale at the start of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 there's been monthly report threads; this seems to be semi-monthly report thread; where's the minute-by-minute thread? I've had nothing come in for 5 whole minutes; as to semi-monthly reporting day 24 of 30 am on pace for $4701 gross Sep 2024... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
