Arno 24 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) I'm not sure why I can't reproduce full details and how or why that would come and bite us all, but yeah... Everyone telling me to remove all this information, and then fully quoting me, that's helping as well. Edited February 14, 2018 by Arno 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone telling me to remove all this information, and then fully quoting me, that's helping as well. Arno, just to clarify: I don't think that anyone is concerned with you posting the details of the license, it's posting the prices alongside that can create problems. A low price quoted here with the license details only gives ammunition to prospective buyers, enabling lowering of prices even further. It's enough of a struggle already - they don't need any more help! As for fully quoting you; you'll notice that when I did so, I carefully removed the prices first - and raised that issue with Foreign Export, when he mistakenly quoted you in full. Hopefully, that will be corrected soon. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Wawa 12 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hi Michael, As a newbie I would love to see the images everyone sells, (I've only sold 2) but seems like most people don't show them. Is that by choice or are there some "Forum Ground Rules" that prevent that? Or maybe there's some button or link or whatever... that I have to double click or something. Just curious.

I'm not the only one to suggest that it's unhelpful to quote low fees. I had suggested that the person put his sales in the monthly thread but instead he quoted the amounts here. Only about half-a-dozen posts here today I think, and nothing for half a day. Not a very good work rate for a policeman. Edited February 17, 2018 by spacecadet 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Allan Bell 2,621 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I believe it is best if fees are not recorded on any forum which is open to the public. Allan 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

John Mitchell 4,958 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Usually, I consider sales of $100 and up to be worth posting here as positive results. However, given some of the prices I've seen so far this year, I probably need to lower that figure. Actually, these days, I consider anything $50+ to be "decent". That said, I'm seeing substantially better prices this month than in January, which was downright scary. It remains a bit of a roller coaster... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Brasilnut 378 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 ^^^ this seems so elitist. Some newbies have been submitting for many months and are only too happy to share their sales, however modest. It's tough enough to get regular sales on here...let's share the joy for those starting out 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed - 3 figures seems to me to be a reasonable bar - they don't happen so often these days, and that scarcity is what makes them positive news and gives encouragement to us all Link to post Share on other sites

If I were starting out with Alamy today, I'd no doubt feel that any kind of sale is a positive result. As far as posting actual figures for very low sales goes, I've been guilty of this myself in the past. However, I now agree that it's probably not a good idea to reveal them, even if the cat is already out of the bag, as the saying goes. Suggesting is better than censoring, though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sally 1,732 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) I celebrated an anniversary yesterday - a year since I passed QC for the first time. So I thought I’d summarise my first year statistics, which I am more than happy with. I don’t need to make a living from this, and I don’t contribute stock anywhere else. I am a complete newbie as far as stock photography is concerned, but having put in a lot of time and effort, I’ve learned a great deal and also got much better at processing photos in the process. I have also taken the plunge and started my own photography website. I’ve got an archive collection (more on the way), and got to grips with Live News images. Most of the photos I have uploaded have been taken in this last year, since I’ve only had a proper camera for two years, and started completely from scratch. Despite the work involved, it’s great fun to see what sells and what for. Images sold are very varied, from World War II anti tank blocks to a puffin. All in all, being an Alamy contributor has been a very positive thing. Total number of sales: 21 (9 in 2018 so hopeful monthly sales will be more regular) Total gross sales: $625 Biggest sale: $52 First sale: May 2017 Most sales in a month : 6 only 1 sale below $10 Views: 34,000 Zooms: 119 Edited February 19, 2018 by Sally 2 Link to post Share on other sites
ReeRay 355 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Well done Sally. 1st sale after 3 months and 9 this year. Way to go. Link to post Share on other sites
