TokyoM1ke Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I just came back from a break in Europe and was surprised to see that I have hit the Alamy front page today. Not quite fame but hey! I wonder if it will attract any zooms... Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I would prefer sales. Please report back if it does lead to increased views/zooms/sales. Happy April Fools Day! wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Nice to see one of your black and white images up there. Perhaps they will be the next big thing. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TokyoM1ke Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks everyone - I'll feed back when the stats are calculated. Not hard to see if it's had an effect. Seeing if I have more than my average of zero zooms is not that tough, not that I am complaining given my minuscule portfolio - happy that I've had any sales at all so far.

TokyoM1ke Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Stats just recalculated - no zooms resulting from my being on the front page (unless someone has used a lightbox). Oh well... Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoM1ke Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Take it as a pat on the back. I had a shot of Mr Geldof on the front page last year and a few used when they had the mosaic. Very flattering and an indication that they like your photos... but dont bet your mortgage on the potential income. It didn;t make the first syllable of my name into an adjective. What "funky"? I think that you may be mistaken there! I'm realistic about this - I don't have many photographs on here and they're all black and white, so I am managing my financial expectations in line with my portfolio (i.e. any sale, however infrequent, is a success)! I was pleased to see my photograph on the front page - after all, they have 50 million odd to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulstw Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I once got on the Alamy app and I thought "YES!" this is going to sell. Ermmm nope it didn't. Not even zoomed lol. In fact it still doesn't get bothered with. I should probably delete it like the ball and chain that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
