What problems. Whit my assets why I cant generate. Seel

I don’t have any experience with graphic design sales, but your work is nice and I’m surprised you haven’t had a single sale.

Perhaps the problem is with your titles and key words.

have you tried using AI for that?

look what I did using grok:

I’m a graphic designer selling stock of my work. I’m going to share images of my work, and I would like you to give me a title, and words associated with it, separated by commas.

answer :

Title: Innovation Gears Lightbulb Icon Set
Associated words:
innovation, idea, creativity, gears, lightbulb, invention, technology, engineering, solution, brainstorming, progress, mechanics, thinking, vector icon, line art, blue illustration, creative process, problem solving, inspiration, business concept, technology symbol, design element, stock icon, minimalist icon
This title and keywords emphasize the core visual (lightbulb + gears), the style (clean vector line art), and common search terms buyers use on stock platforms. You can adjust the title to be more specific if this is part of a larger series (e.g., “Blue Innovation Concept Icons”).
Would you like variations or more keyword options? Feel free to share the next image!

( I used the attached image )

Not only am I saving time, I usually get great words and titles. Perhaps this will help you too.

good luck

Hey @icon D

You have a lot good content. Keep in mind that other websites have free vector downloads that are similar to your own.

Creating vectors and packages is one thing (a good thing at that) having vectors that help you stand out from the other vector artists is another Qs. You have the discipline to create vector images. level up your game and dig into a vector market that is not so saturated.

Cheers
Nate

Your main obstacle, you’re in a fiercely competitive category.

Stock contains over 150 MILLION icon images. Most are sold in sets.

With so much competing content, It’s unlikely that customers ever see what you’re selling.

Try submitting something else besides icons.

I think your problem is your metadata.
For instance, for this image

You have: a title of: geometric shapes minimalist abstract design, repeating pattern of triangles futuristic graphic. The related keywords that are shown make absolutely no sense.

My personal keywording tool analyzed your image and returned this title: Camera Aperture Blades Icons Set Displaying Variable Iris Settings for Technical Visuals and the following keywords: aperture, shutter, lens, iris, diaphragm, camera, optics, mechanism, mechanical, focus, icon, symbol, vector, graphic, design, set, collection, adjustment, control, exposure, light, opening, circle, hexagon, geometric, equipment, hardware, technical, professional, studio, settings, black, white, isolated, illustration, element, interface, vision, zoom, depth

I think your assets are just not showing up in the search results. What would the buyer use as a search term to find this image?

We can’t do that if you don’t provide us with a link to your portfolio. And you also might give some thought to your titles and keywords, because it doesn’t appear your assets are showing up in searches.
