andremichel Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi, During 2017 I submitted more images than any previous years. My demanding 'day job' came to an end late Nov 2016 and I found time to focus on photography and give stock another chance. How many images do you submit to Alamy each year? Have you increased or decreased the number you submit in recent years? Here are my numbers (approx): 2017: 3400 2016: 300 (All during December) 2015: 0 2014: 150 2013: 20 2012: 1800 2011: 1500 2010: 2400 (Just started, very keen and hopeful) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Morgan Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 2017 - 186 2016 - 100 2015 - 463 2014 - 1110 2013 - 417 Went a little crazy and uploaded almost everything at the beginning. Also been real busy with my real business last couple of years so photography has taken a back burner, but hoping to do a lot more in 2018.

vpics Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Is there an easy way to calculate this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Lightroom gives the number added to the catalogue each year in the folder pane if that helps. I upload as I go so it does. My couple of pre- LR years I think I did from IM but you have to add those up by hand. Or tot up your jpeg export folders, if you keep your uploads.

John Mitchell Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 33 minutes ago, vpics said: Is there an easy way to calculate this? Yes there is. Go to the "My submissions" column in AIM (left side) and highlight your most recent submission. Then scroll down to your first submission of the year and press the "Shift" key (PC). This should highlight all your submissions for the year. The total number of images should soon appear at the top. Doing this gave me a total of 650 images for 2017. Still working on other years. P.S. You can highlight the submissions one-by-one using the Ctrl key if the "Shift" option doesn't work on your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been lucky not to have any of those for a couple of years. Can't you just deselect failed submissions? Shall experiment later when I have the time.

I was struggling to identify the ones to deselect as it isn't obvious which are failures from the submissions on left hand column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went from just 2 sales in my first year (I joined Feb 2010) to 111 in my third year. So it takes time for sales to get moving on Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Lewis Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 111 Submissions 563 Images 90% of the images came from the dusty hinterlands of my hard drive. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I did the past five years only (I started submitting in 2007). My annual numbers have been fairly consistent. I'm not exactly a "volume-shooter". 2017 -- 650 images 2016 -- 588 2015 -- 547 2014 -- 622 2013 -- 682 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fails have a pink edge to the panel. But now you come to mention it they are rather hard to spot. It must be because there are so few of them, boast boast. Partial errors are in peach. Or is it salmon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colblimp Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 With this only the start of my 3rd year on Alamy, there's not too much to report, but I thought I'd post it so you can all laugh at me! Year Images Sales 2017 544 39 2016 677 5 I've seen 4 of my Storm Eleanor pics used in various newspapers last night and today so that's a good start to the year methinks! Onwards and upwards.
