Stokie Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 How was your March? I had my best month ever for sales (10) and value ($503 gross) I know this is small beer compared to some of you but i'm pleased i'm heading in the right direction! John.

Peter Jordan Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Mine was exceptionally good too. 19 licenses, previous monthly best was 12. Total sales 2nd best ever at just over $1000 gross Well done Alamy! Hope it is the start of a trend.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 A poor month for me. An April Fool's joke that backfired, I imagine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Congrats to John and Peter, hope springs etc.... Can't complain too bitterly with 17 sales bringing in $364 gross, but lots of twopenny newspaper web deals. Disappointed at a $25 fee for a printed image used in two editions of a national paper. Sign of the times - a RF image that licensed for $400, bringing me $200, in 2009, sold for $73 in March giving me $29. It was of a lower resolution, but, relatively, a much bigger difference in the fee. Best sale $95 of an American subject adding weight to my impression that the US market is a good deal more buoyant than that in the UK, or maybe the US sales team try harder?

losdemas Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 In short, lousy. No sales and very low zooms. Longer: following the re-rank, I saw my rank clearly increase. Despite my scepticism surrounding BHZ, I went up 8 pages in the game (page 16 to 8), and this coincided with an increase in my page views and seemingly higher placings on pages. Even so, while my views went up (the majority relevant), the zooms dropped markedly and the sales...stopped. I couldn't believe this morning- thought there must be an error in Alamy Measures at first and very nearly started a thread about it - not one view for yesterday! Seriously beginning to wonder why I bother. EDIT: there was an error (April Fools'? ha, ha, ha ) in Alamy Measures - now getting 82 views for yesterday. No zooms or sales though.

CandyAppleRed Images Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Only a couple of sales, but a decent gross of over $350. Zooms at the end of Q1 are double last year, so something is going in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Todd Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 In short, lousy. No sales and very low zooms. +1. Just as well Alamy is for my beer money and not the mortgage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulstw Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 2 sales, 4 zooms and blah blah. So far had a sale a couple of sales per month in 2014. Average sale price is $31 over the 11 I've had in my short time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelich Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Average in terms of sales, but best ever month for zooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valestock Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Finally a good sale, after 3 months!! By magic, my CTR was way up since the beginning of March. More zooms but only one sale...let's hope is not only a mirage... Is the CTR still important on Alamy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan_Andison Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 3 sales $205. Still an under-performer... could do better. The rest of the class had a good month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Not so great. Four mediocre to low-priced sales - including newspaper pool and distributor sales. You cannot live on zooms.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kilpatrick Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Not bad at $699 total, 7 sales, several more over the last month or two not yet reported including the usual newspaper uses which don't turn up for a quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 42 for an average of just over $50 gross - best - $180; in newspaper scheme, not in NU; back to the norm after what was for me a fairly dismal February Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Woods Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Poor for me. Low sales - 15 instead of an average of 20 - and prices down - total of $720 instead of $1200 - for the second month in a row. How are other big volume sellers - Keith, Jeff - finding average prices? Are they holding steady for you? I hope so and I am just having a couple of low months.

Kathy deWitt Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 19 sales this month. Some images had been on Alamy for 10 years and not sold or been zoomed so very surprised at these. Must be due to the top 500! Kathy Kathy deWitt/Alamy: http://tinyurl.com/n9djvmr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Endicott Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I was pleasantly surprised this morning to find an additional sale (after checking before going to bed last night). That makes 3 images licensed for the month at $130 gross. That's not the best in value, but last year at this time I was about 3 months into a no sales drought that continued to last through most of the summer here at Alamy. That makes me pleased given the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdahlphoto Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well my March was the best ever. I just noticed I sold one image and it is my first image sold on Alamy. But....I am new to Stock and I just joined Alamy the end of January and I am only at 67 images uploaded so far. I will just keep plugging away and adding images. -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 March came in at my new average. 16 sales for $992 gross. Highest $180 and lowest $13.53 for an average sale price of $62. I do miss the days when the average sale price was north of $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
