Worst month since May 2015, by a long way.

I don't usually report, but BME for numbers. Average way down.

First time in ages I've had sales within a couple of months of upload. Two, quite unconnected, from the same trip. Variety. For the first time I can contemplate a certain destination.

[Keith Douglas 488]

9 sales for £183 gross. Pleased with the number of sales, but 3 sub $6 sales dragged the average down

[Travelshots 116]

very poor 15 sales low fees

[SFL 158]

Not in Novelty Use or UK Newspaper.  Like Mark, I don’t usually report, but hey it is a new year!

 

Compared to Jan 2015

No of sales: Slightly more than double,  Sales amount: 8% down

 

Comapared to Jan 2014

No of sales: 10% increase,  Sales amount: 52% down

 

Am I a glass half empty person?   

[pazmander 45]

Eleven sales which, with my small collection, I was pleased with. For a gross of $102, which I was slightly less pleased with.

 

Best wishes

Very poor... hopefully just a blip...

[Stan Pritchard 146]

Ten sales for a total of $267, highest $93.51, lowest $3.60. Average $26.70.

Just looked back to 2007 when I joined Alamy. First 10 sales were for a total of $1958.10, highest $362.18, lowest $78.88. Average $195.81.

How times have changed!

[CandyAppleRed Images 125]

4 sales for $360, helped by my second largest ever at $278. Also took me over the 100 mark overall. I know some of you do that in a month  ​, but it was a nice little milestone for me and with a few I know of in the pipeline and Alamy chasing 3 infringements for me, I'm happy with the start to the year ​​

[Callie 314]

15 sales but all low amounts making this the worst month since sept. 2014. Hopefully just a blip as was last times worst month in a long time.

[Sultanpepa 956]

Seven sales for $85 gross. I hope Alamy are happy with their figures because it's only disappointment for this contributor. 

[John Richmond 1,041]

6 Sales, non distributor for a gross of $143.  Zooms reasonable and 6 uses yet to report so not too bad a month.

[vpics 621]

Good number of sales, but prices way to low. Highest $99.99, lowest $5.42 distributor sale. 

Not good. 

[Brighton Coast 122]

Not a great month below average with 23 sales and poor prices

[mickfly 470]

3 sales for $62.39.
I made more from my own sales and also quadruple that amount on just one infringement payout.

[David Davies 66]

Just 2 sales for me, totalling round about $40 gross. Where have the decent sales gone???

 

My wife is becoming ever more convinced that I am doing this as a hobby, I'm beginning to wonder!

[Tony 161]

11 sales

 

$340

 

Lots of derisory prices, but hey-ho they all add up.

[Robert Convery 164]

Great start to the year 24 for $900 gross

 

Just shy of my best month ever.

[Southpole 163]

very very very very very  poor 1 sale $6.95 gross

[Jon Lewis 115]

Hi All

 

3 sales for $36 gross but 2 of them were $4.00 so not happy with the prices a common complaint on this thread.

[Panthera tigris 76]

14 USD gross - a bad month to say the least

[Abiyoyo 1,007]

2 sales. $47. Lower CTR than usual.

[Olivier Parent 665]

7 sales. Low zooms.

[Phil Robinson 1,010]

My months always seem to be the opposite of most other forum members.

It was my best ever month for the number of sales, by a long way.

I had my most sales ever in a week.

I had most sales ever in a day (twice)

The most important record however - cash - was a long way sort of my best.

Lots of newspaper sales and foreign distributor website $5 specials, most sales from images taken in the last year or so.

 

(One this morning, so a good start to Feb)
