Stokie Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 wow 1000 well done I am 14 in 2 years In that case, by the time you are as old as David you too might have 1000 sales!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin McAbee Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well done David, I have just retired from my day job so hope to put more time into stock. Just when you feel they are not selling a sale pops in for $180 and makes you feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 778 sales so far with $96,223 so far since 2001. Was hoping to pass $100k this year but I don't think that will happen... Never say never though I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 188 since 2007 but 86 this year to date, so getting better. Have discovered what sells to newspapers, but not how to make money I need to add my name to those who have thanked David for his useful advice over the years.

Phil Robinson Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 About 1,200, and, like you, I've noticed recent sales have been looking healthier (with the exception of yesterday's 3x $6.33) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin McAbee Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I wonder what Jeff G's numbers are or someone in say the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windmillskies Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 A long long way from 1000, but then I've only been an Alamy member for a year! Martin www.windmillskies.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokane Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 In seven years I have supposedly 1103 sales - but if you eliminate the refunds it's a mere 1065. Out of interest, I have broken down the figures for average price per image sale per year: 07: $82 08: $100 09: $57 10: $111 11: $48 12: $34 13: $35 14: $45 These figures are skewed somewhat by joining the Novel Use and them stopping it two years ago when it wasn't paying. I also stopped distributor sales two years ago when Alamy cut the take from 40% to 30%. The figures for 2010 are also skewed by my one big advertising sale, netting $11,167. It was of passengers on a London bus, which goes to show you can never predict what will sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenePi Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I don't have one single download till now. Strange, cause also with other agencies my portfolios are simlair size, but don't have no downloads elsewhere!? Can anyone of you who are working with Alamy for longer tell me how to improve?

Alamy isn't a microstock agency. You will probably need a much larger portfolio before you license any images here. Also, see other forum discussions about uploading similars (similar images), captioning, and keywording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiskerke Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Don't you love those Lazarus threads! I was at 780 then, and it had taken me 10 years to get there. 20 months later, I'm now at 1,184. Thank you Alamy! wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Closing in on 660. It has taken me over seven years.. I'm starting to feel like Lazarus at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlessandraRC Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Congratulations. I am at zero, like never sold anything here. Twelve years. I am not sure if I've got that much to live, but if I do, what will have happened to the stock industry by then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to understand why you have never made a sale. Perhaps you should consider uploading more of your work to help increase CTR and ranking. What's with the red arrows?

I explained the red flags on another thread. I told someone who was bemoaning about failing a QC, that it was not a big deal, and down the conversation, since the y insisted it was a big deal, to grow up, Basically, I was nasty in my personal version of trying to be helpful Thanks, I keep uploading, ten a week. I work (like a real full time job) so it will take time to build a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
