It's been more than 15 days that I got my last sale total of two in two months even though my account has reached to 500+ assets. I was assuming to get some more but it's not the case untill now. I am aiming to increase my assets to 1000+. Can anyone give me some other suggestions.

Hi @Pix Garden ,

Congratulations! That's how it is. Continue to submit. Your sales will become regular over time. 500 is an extremely small account when you consider that you are competing with thousands of accounts generating millions of assets.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

A portfolio of 500 images is generally considered too small to achieve a regular stream of sales. You should aim to steadily and gradually grow your portfolio to a level of at least several thousand images.

Your 500+ photos and illustrations are competing against between 300-400 million other photos and illustrations on Adobe Stock. Stock is not a way to make passive income for the vast majority of contributors. Keep submitting. If you are having more assets accepted than rejected, you are on the right track. But the track is miles long, and you have a few miles more to travel. 🙂

Pix, setting goals is the way. 
500 more assets in how long? 
25 per week from now to 12/31 gets it done.

It is extremely important that you identify areas of personal interests that you can then focus on shooting.

 

I started in January this year and I'm up to 2000 assets,

Im selling a rate of 30-40 per month, but here is the catch, 85% of the photos have not sold once.

The great thing is that today I have a better understanding of what sells the most for me.

 

And above everything, HAVE A LOT OF FUN!

this is a long term project!

Cheers!
