Colblimp Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Went to bed last night with 3 sales for the month. This morning that's shot up to 10! Now I know that's absolutely pathetic to the big guys who get a ton more sales every month, but for little old me, that number is fab! Go me!

I wonder if the big boys and girls still get that feeling 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's like water off a duck's back to the big guys, but I, and I guess a lot of others, get a massive thrill when any sales come in.

Sally Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Pleased to have reached a milestone with 101 sales since joining Alamy around 18 months ago, with gross value around $4300, and $4000 of that just this year. It certainly pays to be patient as a newbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thought I'd made a mistake at first but I've just had 11 zooms reported for yesterday. I don't think I've ever had more than 4 or 5 for a single day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aphperspective Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Only been on Alamy for 8 months, just gone past 1500 images uploaded and had 7 sales so far. Don't know if they are good figures but i'm still enjoying photography so what's not to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're around today call in for a coffee - we need a catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s a book and they’ll use them all 😂 Two sales just came in from those zooms and I only uploaded them about three weeks ago in September. For better than newspaper prices too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptoprocta Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Another sale popped in overnight, this time one of my 'lone zooms' from that Glasgow batch. Different buyer, as suspected. However, now almost at my September total, and only the 5th. Onwards and upwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice sale of $188 popped in this evening making October a very pleasant change from the small beer I've been getting lately and like you say, it's only the 6th.

That moment when you check and see two new sales, smile when you see nice prices, then realise there's a little minus next to it. My two Glasgow sales were both refunded.

Bryan Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Good news - a $204 lease popped in today Not so good news - it's a distributor sale, but still a reasonable return. Not seen any 3 fig sales for a while.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're scarcer than they used to be but still out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree John, the net income from my distributor sales is generally a good deal more rewarding than that from the newspaper scheme, and blows some recent NU sales out of the water. I may withdraw from NU this coming year. Trick is to remember to do it when the time comes! Good to see occasional straight $200 leases still to be had.

Yes, I'd be shooting myself in the foot -- and I only have one foot left metaphorically speaking -- if I opted out of distribution. The recent $$$ sale that I mentioned was actually $199.99, so I took the liberty of rounding up. I kicked the NU habit a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
