David Davies Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I have just had my fourth sale this month pop up today, and we are not half way through. Just as I was loosing faith in ALAMY, stock photography and life in general, .....sob sob, this came as a boost to my moral, as well as a small boost to my dwindling funds! That said, I shall probably have no more sales this month! Has anyone else noticed that sales are increasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gaffen Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 This month is better than last month, with three so far, two of them being RM sales comanding good prices. But it is my personal experience, that monthly sales totals can vairy quite a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I had thought this month was being slow until 3 sales popped up this morning. But I wouldn't say it is because sales are picking up, just the usual way things go - there are always quiet times and busier times, at least for me there are.

Kathy deWitt Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yes, I had a rare Saturday sale for ITV use this past weekend. Country: United Kingdom Usage: EditorialMedia: Television (editorial)Print run: up to 2 transmissionsPlacement: Use within body of showStart: 11 May 2013End: 11 May 2018 In my experience sales are lower in April May picking up in June. Maybe due to end of tax year? Kathy Kathy de Witt/Alamy: http://tinyurl.com/btjds2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 After a very bad start - a 3 figure refund - this has been a pretty good month, Not as good as last month yet but still a few days left, fingers crossed...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parischris Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Best month in 12 years on Alamy for me! Broad mix of travel guides, newspapers and corporate sales, with the odd website only usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Ramsay Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Has anyone else noticed that sales are increasing? Sadly not - worst month for years, with one insulting sale this morning for $6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrille Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 My zooms are doing great, thank you. Sales? What sales? Three sales in April, none this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 My first sale was of my 200th., but it didn't come until I had uploaded more like 500, I didn't have another until I had 750, and it was a relicense of the first, so keep at it. I'll let others comment on your pix except to say you need variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Jordan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 7 so far this month, 26 this year so far. Last year 74 total. I am interested to hear that many have sales reported early in the month. This candoes happen for me now and again, but normally they all turn up in the last week or ten days of the month. Of my total 206 sales so far, 93 or 45% have been reported in the last week or so of the month. This month first sale on the 23rd, five on 24th and one on 29th... Does anyone else have this pattern?

TABan Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I've had several sales this month. Unfortunately all but one are the $29 HuffPost special. The remainder wasn't for much more and was a distributer sale and so netted less than the HP sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borniet Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 No sales at all for me in May...Did have two nice ones in the beginning of this year, and will try to get that back. So, working quite hard now in adding pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 May was very disappointing for me. Down from 4-7 monthly sales which I'd been managing for a while now right down to 2, and one of these was $6.05 gross: "Digital usage includes archive rights for the lifetime of the article."
