Gary1701 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 All, I've been on Alamy for just under a year now and although not a prolific uploader (just over 400 images to date) I have been fortunate to have two sales, which having read the forums a little I think I should be happy with considering the averages I am seeing. As I specialise in aviation I realise I may not have the most wide reaching portfolio. I was curious as to how the last sale worked from those more experienced than myself. I sold a image less that a week ago which was nice, but in the whole month I haven't had a zoom, and the last one in December was a different image. Is it normal - or possible - for a sale to occur without the customer having zoomed it, or is a issue with the site? Just curious really and certainly not complaining.

spacecadet Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Only about a third of my sales have an associated zoom. It's not possible for Alamy to connect them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1701 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi there, Thanks for that, will keep in mind. It just seemed odd to me. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Ashmore Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Also not every zoom is counted by Alamy.. only those by certain recognised clients... and only then if they bother to log in. Try it yourself... find one of your own images and then zoom it... does it show as a zoom the next day? I bet it doesn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpole Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 A lot of aviation images are sold on this website you may want to join http://photo4me.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normspics Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 If a customer zooms but doesn’t complete the purchase logs off then comes back later and buys the image Alamy can’t associate the two events, so you get a sale but no zoom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
