stipe Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hi guys, Am I the only photographer who is experiencing a zero sale so far this month? As I averaged about 15 sales per month recently, it looks so strange not to have any sale yet in May. I am wondering if there is anything wrong with Alamy or simply my sales' decline started with a welcoming BOOM! Stefano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 With an average pf 15 sales a month, it would seem natural to have, say, a barren week followed by days with multiple sales. Well, that's the way it is with me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gaffen Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 One sale, so far this month, and my stats have taken a turn for the worse again! But I still carry on uploading and key wording new images, hoping for better fortune in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dov makabaw Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Also zippo sales so far this month so far but zooms continue to come in on par. Early days so not suicidal, yet. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I had a very slow start to May but then 3 sales dropped in on Friday but still lagging from my average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inchiquin Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well I'm living proof that worrying about rank is a total and utter waste of time. After my best year ever last year on a modest ranking, ever since my rank improved dramatically I've had a complete drought. Just three sales this year, the last more than two months ago. At this rate I can't wait to drop back among the also-rans. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stipe Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Arletta, you are so sweet by having found that mistake! Would you mind if I pass all my next photos to keyword them much better than I do?

John Mitchell Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Three sales and one refund, so a bit of a slow start but no need to send out a Mayday signal just yet. Two new zooms showed up today after a bit of a drought, so hope springs eternal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losdemas Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 FOR, actually! I hadn't thought of bycicle beforehand, but with a few searches (~50) using this spelling in AoA in the past year, I may well add it to my compkeys (I might add bicicle, too)!

Alan Nice to know that some of us are keeping Elf-y Is there a way out of here? Oh yeah - Mayday - nowt so far. Not a sale nor a zoom to be seen. But like the proverbial London Bus or flying ants, I'm expecting at least three, if not hundreds, along any minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I had another sale show up today, making five so far, so things could be starting to rev up. A couple of new zooms as well. Some months are just slow to get off the starting line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
