Betty LaRue Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Others have mentioned these end of year months being dismal for zooms and sales. I never noticed a difference myself. Until this year. NO zooms this week. In fact, my monthly zooms are at an all-time low since reaching 3000 image count. Two sales for the month, one decent, the other ...nuf said. No joy.

Kumar Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Best period for both zooms & number of sales. Numbers > joy, Income > No joy, Overall > sure looking up Do expect more of a lull next month though ! Kumar, India Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Low number of zooms, too. Thought it was just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Very few zooms this month. 2 sales in the last two days for small fees is little cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Karma holding steady here (sales & zooms). Year-end is typically an OK time for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 An OKish month for sales to date, but zooms went off the scale at the start of the month, almost reached the magical (for me) 3 figs, now gradually sliding down to more usual levels. Had a dreadful time for zooms during the summer, swings and roundabouts. Part of the fun of this game is that it is so unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I have enough November zooms to share with everyone, but sales have not been great. I have double zooms on 7 images now, so maybe they will kick in as sales these last days. Happy hols, everyone -- I'm having grilled salmon as my 'turkey.'

My sales numbers have been oddly predictable this year -- i.e. little variation from month to month (not complaining at all). Canadian Thanksgiving was last month. Salmon was my choice as well. I've also been known to have tofurky. It's pretty good (honest) if you spice it up with stuffing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariaJ Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm having the worst month for zooms, the worst in 18 months, and my CTR has sunk. I was on an upward trend so I'm being positive and thinking it will eventually rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Palmer Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 After a couple slow months this one has been good for zooms but alas no sales. Typically November and December are dead for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Low zooms and low sales for November for me ( so far ) Shame. Need 2 more sales and $50 more to double last years license sales and revenue though. Was hoping to crack it this month !

Betty LaRue Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Late here, 11 pm Oklahoma time, and before shutting down the Mac, I decided to check. 2 zooms, but better yet, a nice sale of $100. I'll take it. I need to gripe more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bell Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 My zooms have been well up on normal figures this month but no sales as yet. CTR 1.12. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 After my best month ever last month of 21 sales i'm currently only on 3. Newspaper sales seem to have dried up so I can't look forward to an end of month surge. Zooms probably below average although I had 4 yesterday, all for the same subject so fingers crossed! John.

Ace Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I'm quietly hoping everyone at Alamy is slaving away trying to get new contrib tools ready. Then at the end of the month loads of sales will fly in (better keep dreaming I guess !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vpics Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 To bring it down one level (or more again), I had a really good number of zooms today. Maybe things are starting to pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
