Hi, I am a new contributor, I contribute "vector semaless pattern" - manual. I work fulltime, close to 100 approved files now. Just want to know what is the earning and growth poential in this category, let's say with 120-150 files??? Didn't see any download so far. Being a fulltimer at stock, I am still hopeful but not seeing any result to far. Any suggestions/experience is much appreciated. Thank you.

[N.B. I will delete the post in future]

You'll need a much larger portfolio to start experiencing a regular flow of sales. When I reached ~2,000 assets in my portfolio, I could count on getting some sales every day,

The category aside, there are a few contributors who might make an occasional sale with as few as 500 assets. Realistically, however, you'll need 1000 to 5000 or more quality assets before you start seeing regular sales.

Thank you for you reply, appreciated. Though the insight of your reply is hard in me, anyway, shold I be little hopeful with limited assets? Thanks.

A search specifically for vectors on Adobe Stock yielded over 51 million assets. That's your competition. While there may be a relatively small number of contributors making a living selling stock, they probably 1) diversify, and sell stock on multiple platforms, 2) have been contributing to stock for years, and 3) do well selling videos, which pay a larger royalty. Many other factors are no doubt involved as well. The vast majority of contributors here approach stock as a hobby, not a full-time job.
