Title: Very little sales
Post by: umdash9 on June 02, 2020, 12:10

Hi decided to give Alamy a go so uploaded 420 pic no rejects, including some of my best sellers almost a year on and i have had only 2 sales if you compare that to s :-\s about 1200 downloads so whats the trick to selling on this site.

do you have to upload on a regular basis.

or is there only certain subjects that sell on this site

Alamy sales are very unpredictable. My sales in April ca $200 while barely made $40 in May. Overall, I’m quite pleased with Alamy, top 3 or 4 agency, in my opinion.

Breaking news / current events tend to do well on there. Generic microstock stuff is almost useless.
