I am not getting any downloads?

I have been working consistently for six months, creating and uploading designs every day, and my portfolio now contains over 600 designs and the designs themselves are among the most popular trends right now; yet, despite all this, I am not getting any downloads.

    • Diversify your portfolio to include other types of content— photos, vectors, video or GenAI.

    Your 600 designs are competing against millions of assets in the Adobe Stock database. There are also complaints in general on other Adobe Stock forums that sales have been considerably slow for many contributors than in the past. Keep submitting and growing your portfolio.

    I had started getting downloads, but after facing some rejections due to "Intellectual Property Refusal," I haven't received any downloads for the past 15 days—whereas before that, I used to get at least one download every day.
