A front cover for a French magazine licensed for $129 (direct). One three years ago for >$500. 

[ChrisC 105]

After no zooms whatsoever this month, I had my biggest sale & first since Jan 2015 of +$100:-

Country: Worldwide Usage: Marketing package - Large business, Use in marketing materials, worldwide for 5 years (excludes advertising). This license is for large companies with more than 10 people. Start: 13 December 2017 End: 13 December 2022   Sales also have also increased prior to that for the last two years, but income was up this year, last year it was lower. I still need to caption better & Tag better and re-do my old images really

$ 144.13

Just squeaked past last year's total revenue, in the nick of time. (Although for the last two years I passed that point in June and July . . .)

 

Happy Christmas all!

A nice stream of sales coming in today - end of the month reporting early for Xmas? 

 

Yes, a little flurry of licenses today. Hopefully another flurry on the last day of December...

For me too. December is looking good for sales compared to past years.

When I saw this image  AC805A had been licensed a couple of days ago I googled "Germaine Greer" as I feared the worst.

Luckily she had recently been interviewed describing her success.

"There's no point in work - unless it absorbs you - like an absorbing game.  

If it doesn't absorb you ... if it isn't any fun... don't do it.

 

I wholeheartedly agree and working with Alamy is totally absorbing which

is the most important thing.

 

So thank you all at Alamy and have a great Xmas break.

Haha, I know what you mean - lack of Alamy sales!!!

[Pearl 863]

Today I have equalled my second best year for sales volume, 446 in 2013, but I'm about 80 sales short of 2016 which was the best.  However revenue is only 50% of 2013 and I'm not going to get close to 2016 either.

Happy to report that Santa popped by here today as well with a bag of last-minute sales, all of images that had been zoomed earlier in the year.

 

This makes 2017 my best year volume-wise on Alamy but definitely not revenue-wise. Sounds like this is the general trend, more sales for less income.

Best year too volume wise thanks to a record December sales. However, revenue only 5th best and around 80% of 2016.

 

Have a merry Christmas and best wishes for 2018 to all.
