Looking for Tips to Improve My Adobe Stock Sales

Hi everyone .
I’ve uploaded around 135 files (both illustrations and videos) to my Adobe Stock portfolio, but I haven’t received any downloads yet. I’m wondering if there’s something I should improve — maybe keywords, titles, or content type?

I’d really appreciate any advice or feedback from experienced contributors.
Thanks in advance for your help!

135 assets are way too few. There is a lot of competition and a lot of factors that effect if an asset gets downloaded.

My suggestion is to increase your portfolio to over 1000 assets and choose assets that are in a genre that you feel are in demand.

Casting a wide net usually catches more fish. 

 

Customers source items from Stock that they can't easily create themselves. Everything from low-tech to high-tech and all points in between. If you offer people what they're looking for, and they can find it in keyword searches, you'll eventually make sales.

 

Don't be too discouraged at first. It takes a long time to build a large & diverse portfolio that appeals to a wide range of customers. It doesn't happen immediately. For people who contribute infrequently, it can take years. Just keep working at it. 

 

Good luck!

You'll need to have a much larger portfolio on a variety of topics in order to experience a regular flow of sales. You have quite a few rather simple backgrounds which are easy for any designer to create on their own, so they're unlikely to want to use any of their stock credits to license them.
