3800+ images no download

Hi. I have been producing AL images for about 3 months. I carefully examine all the images and add titles. However, sales are almost non-existent, there is only one discount per day. What should I do? Is there a possibility that my account is spam? If I delete my old, unsold, low-quality images, will it have an effect?

If you can sell an asset every day, I think it's very, very good to start. I've been a participant for about 4-5 months, I have 518 accepted images, and I have a total of 10 sales, and I have $6.66 in my account.

 

I think it's a very competitive platform (and similar ones). So whatever you think and produce, there are already thousands of the same ones already produced and uploaded.

 

...

 

I noticed on another competing platform, a photo studio account had over 122,000 accepted images. So if you have an archive like that, I think you can make good money. How the account I mentioned created that archive is beyond comprehension. I guess they are working as a team, not just one person.

 

I wish you success.

The quality and uniqueness of your assets is far more important than the quantity. Thousands of images similar to those that are already in the database will get you nowhere...

I don't know what you mean by "one discount per day".

 

There are various possible reasons why you haven't had any sales yet:

- Your images are in very competitive categories with thousands (or more) similar images already in the database

- Your titles and keywords don't thoroughly and accurately describe the assets

- Your subject matter isn't currently in demand by Buyers

- You have seasonal content

- You have many similars

- The quality is inferior compared to competitors

 

You asked whether your account has spam. By "spam" I assume you mean too many similars. You can figure that out yourself. If you have too many similars you are putting your account at risk of being blocked. Review Adobe's guidelines for similars and delete those assets that exceed the guidelines.

 

Submitting 3,800 images in such a short span of time is a possible indication that you haven't paid enough attention to content, quality, and metadata.

Many similars.

How is anyone ever going to find this one with a title of "print"?

Foto stock, immagini, grafica, vettoriali e video esenti da royalty (adobe.com)

The title on this one is misleading, and the design has been done many, many times in the Adobe stock database already:

Immagini - Sfoglia 3,800 foto, vettoriali e video Stock | Adobe Stock

This isn't a bottle of milk:

Foto stock, immagini, grafica, vettoriali e video esenti da royalty (adobe.com)

You've got the exact same design twice:

Foto stock, immagini, grafica, vettoriali e video esenti da royalty (adobe.com)

title is "house icon with shadow" where's the shadow:
Foto stock, immagini, grafica, vettoriali e video esenti da royalty (adobe.com)

Title is incorrect "monochrome coin illustration:

Foto stock, immagini, grafica, vettoriali e video esenti da royalty (adobe.com)

cup of coffee (poorly drawn) - why would a Buyer spend a subscription credit on such a simple line drawing:

Foto stock, immagini, grafica, vettoriali e video esenti da royalty (adobe.com)

 

Many of your icons are so simple that anyone with a modest amount of skill could create their own. I don't think you'll sell many of these.

Hm. 3,800+ images in three months. That's a lot of images in a very short period of time. It took me over a year and a half to reach that number, and I've been uploading daily from day one.

Nothing out of line that I can tell from viewing your previews, and you have a solid variety of assets. I'd chalk it up to stiff competition. My AI sales and dropped as well in the last three weeks or so.
