Less Sales

It's been a month I have started my Adobe Stock account and have got more than 200+ illustrations and photos accepted. But my download is just one. Spending so much time here looks like a loss. But I am still motivated to get some downloads this month.

The number of your illustrations is very low - that's why they are not selling. In that case, you should focus on how to increase your illustrations, if the quality and everything else is right.

Then I hope you will definitely get sales.

One month is the blink of an eye. Be patient. 

 

It takes years to develop a portfolio of 6,000+ assets that will yield a steady 2nd income. Do not be discouraged by poor early sales. 

  • Keep creating new & diverse content. 
  • Focus on quality over quantity.
  • Use effective keywords, titles & descriptions that accurately describe your content in Web Searches.
  • When you provide customers with what they are searching for, they will buy your products.

there are sooooooo many factors involving sales. But, in any case, you need way more assets.

@Jill_C is correct about the competition. A year ago, I was selling more assets per day with fewer assets than I am today with 1000 additional assets.  Selling stock is NOT a way to make passive income for the vast majority of contributors. Top sellers have 10,000 to 25,000+ assets. It's also helpful to submit to other stock sites to supplement income.

With ~785 million assets in the database you have a lot of competition. Your assets need to have commercial appeal to Buyers and have thorough and accurate titles and keywords. Assuming those requirements are met, you probably won't start to see a steady stream of sales until your portfolio grows to a few thousand assets.

You might start seeing occasional sales at 500...more likely at 1000 and more.
