Illustrative Editorial Use

Question

Hello, I want to upload social media (Instagram, Facebook, etc.) related mockups and UI designs on my Adobe Contributor account. I know that for this, I have to upload them as "Illustrative Editorial Use Only". So I have a few questions related to that:

1. I know how earnings work per download on Adobe Stock, but I want to know if the earnings for "Editorial Use Only" content are the same as other assets, or if they are slightly different, like lower or higher? There are some limitations on how editorial content can be used. I have almost 1000+ social media mockups and UI design assets, so it’s important for me to know whether it's worth spending the time to upload editorial content or not, according to earnings.

2. Do I just check the "Illustrative Editorial Use Only" box while uploading the files, and that’s it? Or should I keep other things in mind as well while uploading editorial content? I want to know the issues that other people have faced while uploading or after uploading editorial content on Adobe Stock. Please feel free to share your experience.

3. In some UI designs, there isn’t any social media logo, so do I still have to upload them as "Editorial Content" or not?

Regards,
Malik

Illustrative editorial assets are subject to the same royalty calculations as all other assets. As you already seem to know, assets with any logos or trademarks cannot be submitted without a property release. You can try submitting them to the Illustrative Editorial collection, but they won't necessarily be approved. Acceptance is subjective, based on the Moderator's decision as to whether the asset has current newsworthy appeal.

That won't be accepted. Editorial use only is for editorial use only, and not for use in mockups and other things. And anything that a user can create themselves with a screenshot is not interesting to buy.
