dov makabaw Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Uploaded a batch overnight on 17th July - still annotated no of images N/A - Arrived awaiting processing. QC are usually so quick off the mark. Also on the sales front - one on 1st, one on 3rd and one on the 5th. Since then nothing!!!!! Have a wonderful holiday one and all - the weather is great for it. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yep, definitely holiday season. No sales in July yet and zooms a lot lower than usual. As to the image uploads my weekend uploads cleared QC Wednesday noon - and I have a few waiting now since Wednesday - but all processed awaiting QC. You may be facing an upload or processing problem, perhaps a partial failure... PS I was too quick - had a lousy 22.31 dollars sale this afternoon .... And my images from Wednesday was QCed.

Bizair Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Just sold an image to China for a calendar, one page a day. Unfortunately sale price was $13. But always looking on the bright side, at least a buyer in China paid for an image. And being a one page a day calendar, a small image with a 1,000 print run, probably not much else I could expect.

stipe Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Normally, the sales reported this month were made one or two months ago, at least, if not earlier. So, I don't think you can ascribe your poor sales to summer holidays. For me this July is marking the best month ever in terms of sales made since I am on Alamy and we are only at day 19th. Curiously, for me (and more photographers) last May was a real bad one. Why? Don't know. Simply, maybe, there is no answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Definitely Silly Season. It's already the 19th and only 2 sales. If it's the UK heatwave that's a factor, it may be the wrong kind of heat. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales have been hit and miss since January. $5.95!!! another one of these finally made me hit the NO for the newspaper scheme. $44.65 German magazine use $52.06 IQ Sale $450.00 Retail Book $44.62 IQ Sale Regards Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was going to be a record month - then nothing until 17th, and that was one of those $5.95 ones. Still a sales a sale. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should have a moan more often. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
