John Mitchell Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I know there are forum members who despise threads like this, and I can understand why. However, some inquiring minds still want to know. Is anyone else having a very slow month? I've had zero sales so far in May and zooms are down over 50%. Just so I don't sound totally negative, April was a very good month for me (over $1K gross). More curiosity than complaint, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Zooms OK for me but sales are DIRE!!! Back to 2007 levels when I had a fraction of the number of images on sale. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 My experience mirrors yours John. April = BME May = Nothing (so far) It is baffling at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just had my best Alamy sale ever. I'd like to celebrate... but I'm in Stornoway... That's encouraging to hear. Good thing you're in Stornoway (wherever that may be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just had my best Alamy sale ever. I'd like to celebrate... but I'm in Stornoway... Iif you can go outside without being consumed by midges that is a celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, indeed, a true roller coaster, especially this year for me. Not feeling very motivated to upload new images these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbro Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Better than 0, barely. Two sales so far this month. One is a nice panorama I spent hours worked on, licensed to Russian Federation for a paltry $14.51. On the other hand, they are at least PAYING for something. They could just send in "volunteer" paratroopers and take it... Like anything I can do to stop them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famousbelgian Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Quiet month so far but just had a $156 sale today so perhaps this thread has kickstarted buyers into action .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just had my best Alamy sale ever. I'd like to celebrate... but I'm in Stornoway... The new screensaver for Windows 10? ;-) You have plenty of candidates. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Mediocre month so far, could be worse, but need to make some more sales in the last 10 days to get an average return.. I wonder if the UK election coverage has had anything to do with it ? Good to hear that high value deals (JMo) are still to be done, it's living in hope that keeps me going.......

Craig Yates Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 My last sale was on the 29th of April. Zooms are healthy but they don't seem to matter. I used to have more sales with less zooms. A good month for invoices being paid which will deliver a good payout if nothing else. Regards Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Not a great month so far and very few zooms.....I miss April! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Better month for me, doubled sales and zooms. Expect it to dry up as usual, though. Sale amounts kind of paltry. My share of the 4 doesn't add up to what I used to routinely get from one sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Not a great month so far and very few zooms.....I miss April! Me too. Perhaps it's time to start a "Bring Back April!" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpole Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Most zooms I ever had but 0 sales showing but gone up a page on BHZ so that must be a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Elliott Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 You're up early Paul!!! Hows's Salisbury? surprisingly, I've had 3 sales this month at Alamy. Can't believe it And just had a statement from elsewhere showing a very nice sale of just under $2K gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 My experience mirrors yours John. April = BME May = Nothing (so far) It is baffling at times. Similar here, April BME, May i've had 4 sales one of which was for £1174!! Over the last 7 years i've been with Alamy May has been the worst month for me so I wasn't expecting great things. John.

AlbertSnapper Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Alright this end. Already year 2015 is my second best in both volume and income. And still another seven months to go ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramsay Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Just passed more than half of last year's total revenue on fewer than a third of last year's total sales - not sure what conclusions to draw from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Endicott Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Doing unusually well so far. Last month and this month has shown MANY more zooms than usual - makes me suspect there was a change to the zoom recording mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yes, zooms are up but a slow month for sales - only two so far. I feel like a punter at the racetrack - come on baby.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Slow here too, but had a nice one pop up this morning. I have found that the first week of the month has been quiet for a while now - still ten days left for all those American textbook sales to come flooding in.
