Is Adobe Stock for you a hobby, a side income, or a main source of revenue?

It’s a hobby/part-time interest, depending on how much effort I invest in it.

I started participating in April 2024, so it's been roughly two years. I saw this as a perfect job to do in my retirement, and it really was.

That is, until the "Similar content in our collection" feature became active. After that, almost every piece of content I submitted started being rejected for the reason I mentioned, and after a while, I gave up.

Because to reach my target of $400-$500 monthly income from this, I needed to upload very frequently and enrich my archive, unfortunately, that didn't happen.

Now my archive is just sitting there, with 821 accepted images and $74.33 in my account. In two years. :)

I view it as a hobby, which allows me to get some of the many images that I take during my travels around the world off the hard drive and out into the world. I think that only a small percentage of Contributors regard it as their primary source of income. Mostly it’s a side hustle.

Are you looking for social content? What is the purpose of asking? If you are looking to make this a full time gig, ask yourself these Qs: 
Am I doing it for the money? if so, you could burn out quickly
Am I doing it because I see value and I want to help others get a quality product? 
Or
I do it just because I a buzz out seeing my work out there and selling something? 

​@Haseeb7 your Qs would best be used on a social platforms and create a poll for people to answer. 

Cheers

What does it matter? That is kind of personal and depends on a lot of factors. You have a “feeling”, where do you get your information to base this “feeling”? My “guess” is that you are “guessing”.
Like I asked, “what does it matter”?
