Sales are still decreasing, only one through Eyeem / Getty this month and a few through Adobe. Eyeem seems to have been a bit erratic since they put their tiered payment structure in, but it’s more probable that my sales have dropped along with the quality of photos I’m uploading. Garbage in, garbage out 🙂

January was pretty good – sales from Getty, Eyeem Market, Bytedance (?), Adobe, and Alamy (!). This is the first time I’ve heard of Bytedance, another Eyeem partner, and the first time I have sold anything through either Alamy or Eyeem’s direct Market.
After January being pretty good, February was rubbish with two small sales through Adobe. This is the first month in several where I haven’t sold anything through Eyeem’s Getty partnership.
Next month Eyeem will be bringing in their tiered payments system where high-value sellers receive a higher percentage of the sale. I have just managed to squeeze into the 35% category – better than 25% but far short of the holy grail of 55%.
A number of people in the Eyeem Facebook group are complaining about the payment structure and threatening to remove their photos and close their accounts. Hopefully, they all do, I’d rather be a small fish in a shrinking pond than a small fish in an expanding one… 🙂

Once again, repeat sales of two images and a chain & cog that has not sold previously. All sold through Getty – I am yet to have any direct Eyeem Market sales. The price paid for two of the images was rubbish, but the golf ball and tee sold for more than usual.

Getty sales pretty much the same images as last month but slightly better prices. Golf ball and tee sold twice, loudspeakers sold for a reasonable amount (slightly better than the 50 cents or so I often receive), and the obligatory Pinned Map sold once again.

Two Eyeem sales (through Getty) this month. Once again, they are photos that have sold before. I’m not sure if the Getty algorithm promotes previously sold images or not, but it seems likely.
Continue reading “Eyeem / Getty, October 2020”Another standard month, the pinned map sold twice and also a side view of a couple of daisies. Not really complaining.

Not exactly a stunning month, sold a speaker, a pinned map (which has sold a few times on Adobe) and a few haybales in a field. A bit better than the $0 months but it won’t pay the rent…

This image has sold through Adobe for the second time. And on this occasion I received a pittance, but at least it was a pittance in American dollars (or part thereof!).
The first sale was about two years ago, also for a pittance…
