Reimar Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Is it just me, or did sales in the last half of May die? Up to the 16th things were normal (13 sales for $580) and then.... nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 My May sales were fairly evenly spaced throughout the month, but then I only had six of them. Good gross, though ($732), and no distributor sales.The last sale was on May 22nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winstainforth Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I've had a fantastic month, good sale numbers and a return to higher sale values. You have been missed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Robinson Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I had one sale early in the month and two on the last day for a total of $111. A Lord Nelson result I believe. cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stipe Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Is it just me, or did sales in the last half of May die? Up to the 16th things were normal (13 sales for $580) and then.... nothing. Same for me. Till the 13th regular sales and then nothing. Worst month for me since April of last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 May was close to average for me. But like Reimar, the first half of the month was much stronger than the second half. Had 19 sales for a gross of $1,269. Highest sale, $180 and lowest $10. About an average of $66 per sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Mine were a bit like Michael's, but evenly spaced throughout the month. 18 for $1181 + 7 NU for $9 highest: $181.60 lowest $6.05 wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Six sales bringing in just over $350. Can't complain too bitterly. Similar pattern as reported above, everything in first half of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Coast Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Poorest month for a while 10 sales with very low returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Convery Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I had a good month. 10 sales for $420 gross Only had one sale over $100 and three to the Daily Mail at the opposite end. Nothing in the first week or the last week, all the sales were bunched in the middle. Maybe the Bank Holidays slow sales and next month will be better.

Vincent Lowe Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 5 sales for $507.87 However, one sale of $330 was the same image that sold the month before for the same fee and same usage (except for the dates) so I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of them is refunded.

valestock Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 In my case, everything started and fineished the 9th of the month....1 sale for $180 and that's it....also, few zooms.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gaffen Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 For me, not a bad month, five sales, fairly evenly spread, totaling just under $400.00! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Davies Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Quite a good month for me with 5 sales very evenly spread, totalling just under $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kilpatrick Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Selling right up to the 31st with a few on the final couple of days reported at low values. 21 sales plus 2 more (refund-resale) but under $700 total. Basically I'm seeing good levels of activity, consistent sales day on day with few gaps, and very low average fees without any highpoints at all in May. $75 my highest - rather appropriately, for an out of order cashpoint machine...

Kebabselector Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I had 2 images appear in the Independent Magazine and the Website, nothing appeared as a sale or zoom yet (though I expect they will in a few months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWheal Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 11 for $834 plus 1 nu highet 306 lowest 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidC Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 34 sales, $1,792 gross. $460 cleared - so even with fairly successful sales from 5,000 images I'm glad I don't rely entirely on Alamy. Chased-up-infringers paid in month $1,750ish, with a couple of biggish ones settled but not yet paid to come. Usual reservations about the newspaper scheme which is grossly unbalanced. Had one exclusive, property-released image used for first time in an advertorial online page for $6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy deWitt Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 18 sales mostly medium format. Few D coded images coming through as sales yet this year. Kathy Kathy de Witt/Alamy: http://tinyurl.com/btjds2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incamerastock Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 119 sales, above average $. Some higher priced sales in the mix too. Newspaper scheme but no NU. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 3 sales, but 2 distributor for $81 gross. Highest $47 (luckily full fat), lowest $8.89 (unluckily a distributor) so I only got $2.66 gross! Still 3 sales isn't bad for me for May. In the last 3 years i've only had 1 sale each May. Sales 14th, 23rd and 29th. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 None. Not unusual, I sell only about one image per month via Alamy. It is luckily only a very small business sideline, my main income comes from assignments. Vlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 40 licences, $2.4K gross; a good month, and also good zoom numbers In Newspaper scheme, not in NU Kumar S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
