Does it even make sense to offer many different subject areas?

Hello everyone,

 

does it even make sense to offer many different subject areas? I've seen that the best-selling profiles all serve a niche or have a consistent style. I have both old landscape photos that I wanted to offer reworked, as well as illustrations and stock videos of various colors. So far, only illustrations have been accepted. I have an old profile that I could reactivate, with original landscape photos. Perhaps it would make more sense to offer my original photos there?

There's no need to specialize in one area unless you believe there is an unmet need for that subject. A diversified portfolio is more likely to generate steady sales.

If you only take landscape photos, you're competing with thousands of other contributors. By diversifying your offer, you can stand out more easily.


Customers are looking for a wide variety of images. The more styles and topics you offer, the more chances you have of sales.

Yes, that makes sense, but if you look at the "leaderboard" here, you'll see that everyone is offering the same thing. At least the first hundred entries for each profile...
