spacecadet Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Up in volume, down in averages. About 20% all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marb Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Dead. Absolutely dead. No point in uploading exclusive images here when they can be selling on microstock sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Up in volume, but prices have come down. September 2016 to January 2017 were really bad revenue-vise. Glad things have recovered so far. Fingers' an toes' crossed it will stay like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthera tigris Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I have past last years revenue total (for the whole year) already and just about to pass volume mark (hopefully). Quite a pleasant surprise for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 To match last year's sales, the second half of this year will need to be pretty damn good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Convery Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Volume is OK, but sales over $100 have almost disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi Ace, Mine are way down since Alamy's changes to their search engine. Allan PS Strange to say that my images still seem to be appearing high in the searches though?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Overall mine are up. Buy end of June had equaled the total sales for last year. But this month veryquiet. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 On July 1st my numbers were: Sales Volume 2015 +18.37% Sales Volume 2016 +60.27% Sales Volume 2017 x 2 -3% Average for 2016: 29.25 / month Revenue 2015 +26.60% Revenue 2016 +30.85% Revenue 2017 x 2 -13.5% Average for 2016: 1400 / month However sales and zooms took a spectacular nose dive after the recent Fourth of July changes (which may have happened a week earlier). Zooms have picked up this week. Sales still extremely low: 3 direct sales this month. Have to go back many years for such a result. I'm somehow hoping that the accounting dept is completely swamped with sales and will catch up before the month is over. Probably not. wim ( Percentage Change Calculator : http://www.percent-change.com/ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reimar Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 My sales volume is 60% of what it was for the first half of last year (down 40%). Sale prices are down to 55% of last year (down 45%). The search engine change had a big negative impact for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbro Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Through end of June, number of sales down 15%, gross revenue down 23%. July is not looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Sales volume down approx 10%, gross revenue down about 15% on first half of 2016 figures. This month is absolutely dire. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_Jacobs Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Income in 6 months is higher than whole past year. So no complaints here. Also made some 2,3 and 5 sales to the same client which is also nice. I believe this is the result of the high number of uploads the past year... But, in the past 3 months views and zooms are descending, which is not a good sign for the future... And this month is really lousy... With some 10 days to go, hope will continue my nice average...

John Mitchell Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Average for 2016: 10 sales per month Average for the first six months of 2017: 10 sales per month Not complaining. I figure that if I'm managing to tread water, I'm doing well. Last year's changes didn't seem to affect me much for some reason. Edit: My sales do tend to go up and down, though. A good month is often followed by a not-so-good one, but this pattern is nothing new. It stretches well beyond the last six months. July (slow month so far) seems to fitting the mold as June was above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Dear All, Thankyou for all your replies. Some interesting info. Seems some happy some not. I`m just hoping for a better 2nd half of the year. But its a big drop for me :-( Onwards...... Regards Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Sales and revenue are up on last year, but as I'm a newbie don't read too much into that. However, I like to think it's partly to do with me uploading better quality images with better tags which are more sellable. Many of my images are on the 1st page of searches so overall I'm happy.

Alex Ramsay Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Pretty consistent over the last twelve months, with a slight upward trend for both sales and revenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Douglas Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Sales numbers flat. Gross revenue down 25% However, last year (and the 2 years before) I had some success in getting a few LiveNews images into newspapers and that pulled up the revenue average quite nicely. Moving home to a new location has stalled that temporarily as I familiarise myself with the local area! Hoping for a pickup later in the year.

Broad Norfolk Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Compared to the first six months of 2016, sales are 15% up and revenue 13% down for the same period this year. Interestingly, there were no distributor sales last year but I've had six in the same period this year which has contributed to revenue downturn. Jim.
