Gabbro Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 12 sales for $788. Lots of IQ licenses pulling down the average. Two good sales refunded, replaced with one IQ sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Reasonable month with 16 sales for $822 gross, with majority RF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I had 7 sales this month on Alamy, plus 2 more on Stockimo (Telegraph and The Economist). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 With the recent rerank I dropped a few pages downwards. My CTR is very rarely above average. No clue how to look as this, as sales keep slowly crawling up. Hope this is not just coincidence. Anyhow: 8 sales 472 Gross Lowest: 10.69 Highest: 180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyab Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 2 sales for a terrible $43 gross One sale was a indian magazine distributor. I got $2 for a 5 year use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 By this year's standards, June was a good month for me with eight RM sales for $618. However, half way through 2015, I'm looking at less than one-third of both my total revenue and number of licenses for 2014, which is not so good, even a bit alarming. Snakes and ladders anyone?

Niels Quist Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 8 - $438 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 6 - $194 net. CTR shot up, but it shot up even more last June, with no discernable increase in sales, so I'll keep hoping, but keep my expections in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I would die for 48 sales in a month Pearl! Same as for Doc with 55! (I could easily develop an inferiority complex at this point! But I would also like to say well done for sales figures like those! Have you also looked at their upload figures! Go to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 8 for $277, about my average. Disappointing book cover for $40 (image that has previously sold for $400) but mundane shot taken on dull day made $110, go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy deWitt Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Average 22 X 4 figures Huh ....? Twenty two $1000+ sales? You call that "average"? That's minimum $22000 in one month Cheers, Philippe 22 for a 4 figure sum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Endicott Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Few pinocho's on this thread i think Not me..... I don't know what happened but in May, but I was ranked very high....just for one month. This made my June the best I've ever had at Alamy. I had 8 images licensed at $911 gross. Highest $250 and Lowest $15 (for use in an internal powerpoint presentation). To put that into perspective, I've had 16 images licensed so far this year. I hope the trend continues, but I realize this is just a fluke. The positive is I've exceeded total revenue from last year after the first six months. I don't know what happened but in May, but I was ranked very high....just for one month.... I had 8 images licensed at $911 gross. Highest $250 and Lowest $15. To put that into perspective, I've had 16 images licensed so far this year.....

Southpole Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Cool well done Ed Whats L Licence? I only have RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Endicott Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 They were all RM. If you click on the button called "Build A Downloadable Sale Report" Then filter on a period of time and select date of invoice, you'll find L = RM for some reason. RF is still displayed as RF.

John Mitchell Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Off ~20% @ $5640 gross, largest license $250 gross; Another agency sent me $6200 net, all US textbook licenses... (included bunch of $625 net per image licenses) (how it gets $1250 gross per RM image, I don't know) First month since ~2006 that Alamy is not my "Number One of the Month" agency. Let's see Alamy get back on top!!!!! Exclusive or nonexclusive images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 0 for $0 Ha ha, it makes me laugh as I have the same which is nothing, ha ha ha,it sounds so funny but it is not really funny when you are trying to make living on stock photos. It just makes me wonder how anybody is able to upload over 30 0000 images, how is that possible? Anyway, it's good that some photographers make money on Alamy, I got discouraged a long time ago and stopped uploading but now, trying to come back.

Arletta Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Ha ha, it makes me laugh as I have the same which is nothing, ha ha ha,it sounds so funny but it is not really funny when you are trying to make living on stock photos. It just makes me wonder how anybody is able to upload over 30 0000 images, how is that possible? Not that long ago I was wondering how anyone can submit 1000 files. Today I have almost 3k. If I'll ever do it x10? Doubt it. I lost all my power and motivation to work when I see that my sales (or rather income) didn't change that much since I had 700 files only. Ps. You have beautiful images! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Elliott Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Arletta et al. Do NOT fall into the quantity trap. It is a non-starter and will completely knock you down as well as having an impact morally through having to keyword it all. You need quantity AND as an absolute must quality!

Jools Elliott Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 > You need quantity AND as an absolute must quality! Quality+Quantity+Variety+Salability+Keywording = super-simple mantra-like formula to stock shooting success... Q-Q-Va-Sa-Key, repeat whilst photo-phoraging: kew kew vah sakee, kew kew vah sakee, kew kew vah sakee... Executing it well? No guarantees!!!!! Thanks Jeff for adding to my forgotten elements!
