Ed Rooney Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Ah, the Irish gift of poetry! Half my sales showed up on the last day of April. I'm still selling 3X the traditionally thought average for collection size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Lucky I held off until today, as four overnight sales popped in, retrieving what had looked like being the second poor month in succession. So, end total: 8 sales, $147 net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabbro Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 A month of midgets, 11 for $205. Highest $54, lowest... sorry, I need a magnifying glass to see those tiny numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 15 hours ago, gvallee said: Excellent month with 25 sales and BME for revenue. The analysis of what sold is interesting and proves how crucial diversity of a portfolio is: landscapes x8, cityscapes x2, birds x3, insects x3, wildlife x1, sign x2, plant x1, people x3, other x2 Gen Certainly, Alamy's diversity algorithm discourages specialism.

Martin P Wilson Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Way down - I am on the way to my worst year since I started, including my part first year in 2002. Despite 2017 being my best year for numbers - not revenue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shantz Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 A relatively poor month for me -- but 2 sales on the 30th saved it from being really bad. I'm still slightly above last year at this time on net revenue so I'm happy. 4 sales for $130.70 / $65.37 gross / net. High $60.93 / $30.47, low 2 PU / presentation at $19.99 / $10.00. Views and zooms down with 3277 and 14 for a slightly below average CTR of 0.43. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vpics Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Slightly above average in terms of volume and revenue. Half a dozen sales over $100. Average $37, which is not too bad. To sum it up: better than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K. L. Howard Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Had an awesome month! 21 sales and one of the sales to be used for a large mural wall in a Nashville country music museum. One licensed for television, a nice change from the bread and butter sales of editorial websites/newspapers/magazines and travel guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so if someone was an apple specialist, their files would be spread through searches for apples. Of course, that's a poor example, as a specialist will be able to identify different varieties, but the idea is sound. Any subject for which you have many images, no matter how different, will be spread through any particular search, no matter how high your AR. So even if you have a top rank, you're better to shoot many subjects and be near the top of many searches rather than specialise on producing a variety of images of one subject and be spread over many search pages. The above tempered by how granularly the buyers search (IME, sometimes they are, often they are not), and how many rival specialists there are for that subject.
