I am considering this my building base year, so not expecting much in the way of sales, but so far I have 3....I have upload targets, but that's it....225 in and approved already this week...I need a life or something.

"Build it and they will come [eventually]." I'd say that three is pretty good. It's rough these days. The good news is that there are now loads more opportunities for licensing images than there used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have dabbled in some microstock before but found I hated shooting it, this suits me better. I still have tons of photos in my archives that will work here, so just a matter of getting them up.

Marb Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 After a reasonable May, June is dead. Very disappointing considering I uploaded a fair mount of high profile entertainment news feed items, of which just one has sold very cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I wouldn't be calling an entire month "dead" on the 7th. The 30th, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and covered some more events/celebs that haven’t sold. It all just goes into a huge black hole here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losdemas Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Well, after a couple of very good months, the fairground-style of Alamy sales (swings and roundabouts) bites back. Halfway through the month and only one sale and (currently) my worst CTR ever! Seriously, if it gets any lower, it'll be underground! Sales (or lack therof) is a little worrying. Time to get my *** into gear and start uploading again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Gillis Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Underperforming month and underperforming year. Moan over, hopefully that will have cleared the blockage 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 June isn't a disappointing month for number of sales so far, but I'm seeing low (and really low) prices across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 No sales in June,,, and my CTR is very low, too. Very disappointing month. Maybe I start doing Yoga to get relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Clicks are down, sales are non existent but uploads have increased. I just give up with this place. Utterly demotivating indeed Colblimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 So far this month, nada I usually average about 1 per month here, so there's still time left. Not worried about it It's a beautiful morning outside, deer in the backyard (yes I shot it). Cheers everyone Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
