Getting more from using Adobe Stock

Quick question.

I recently sold a few vector graphics on Adobe Stock and noticed that I receive less than 1 dollar per download.  That is quite a low price for a vector graphic.... I know I will not earn much off a single graphic... but did I post it wrong or why is the percentage so low?  When I sell my work on RedBubble and Society6 I make much more.... so I am just curious.  As a vector graphic that can be reused over and over and over again while only receiving less than a dollar is kind of pointless.

I had thought about selling fully made vector puppets for Adobe Character Animator, but if I am only going to earn under a 1 dollar for each one, then I probably would choose to sell them elsewhere.  Thoughts?

Kenn.

Is there a way to make them have a license for the work?

Maybe a different pricing system should be implemented for Vector Graphics or Graphics on Adobe Stock.  For example, if I were to create a puppet that is ready to be rigged for Character Animator and it only earns less than a dollar... then it makes no sense for me to sell that type of work on Adobe Stock.  As a lot of work goes into designing the character and naming the layers.....

Makes sense right.  I would make several vector characters that could be downloaded for Adobe Character Animator if I were getting a decent payment for them.

For sure, there is a different amount of work, you need to put into creating a vector graphic compared to a photo. But photos eventually ask for models, make-up, clothing, travel... Where is the right pay for any of those?

May be you should try to get someone paying for your graphics work and keeping the right to put them on-line after a while...

    You get a percentage (I think 30%) of what Adobe gets for the art work. Either you need to do a lot of sales or you need to put very little effort in the artwork.

    ie photos can also be used over and over again.
