I’ve started uploading my files to Adobe Stock, but I haven’t had a single sale yet. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

Yes, it's normal. It takes time to develop traction.

Compare your content with similar Stock inventory.

When you compete with millions & millions of similar assets, your chance of making sales is much lower. Your goal is to be the big fish in a small pond, rather than the tiny fish in an ocean that nobody will see.

So what did you want? Can you imagine how many millions of works are
hanging there?

"started"? How many assets are in your portfolio? A normal portfolio exists of several thousand assets. Do not expect that everything you upload will be sold. It has to be in demand. It must stand out above the compitition. Your keywording has to allow it to be found.

So, it’s normal to have no sales in the beginning, right? Should I just keep uploading more files regularly? I was worried that even after uploading many files, I still might not get any sales. But if there's a chance that sales might come later, I’m ready to continue uploading my content

You're asking questions we're really not in a position to answer. Another thread posted earlier today told of a contributor with 32K assets who still has not sold anything for three weeks. To encourage sales, you need quality, in-demand assets, strong and accurate keywords and titles, plus regular contributions to your portfolio. In addition, the competition is extremely tough, with millions of assets buyers have to choose from.
