Low sales rate

Hi everybody 

I have a question 

 I know that  at Christmas and occasions,the sales rate begin to decrease for some images.And the sales of the event photos start to increase.

I know that the quality and number of photos also determine the sales rate

 

 for me: I had nearly a steady sales rate.There were many types of pictures being sold.

 But ,During Christmas, this rate dropped by about 80%, which is normal. Because i don't have Christmas photos

But why is the sales rate still low? Of course it gets a little higher but it's still low after Christmas ending 

For you, is it now normal or the sales rate of normal photos still quite low?

Putting aside the usual holiday slowdown and seasonal assets, I believe the main reason for a slowdown in sales for any particular AI Contributor is increased competition. Adobe Moderators have added an average of ~1,000,000 new AI assets to the database EVERY DAY since about August of last year. A year ago there were 34 million AI assets in the database; now there are nearly 237 million. It gets harder and harder for your assets to float to the top of the Buyer's search results.

Did they add the images to the stock at once? 

If that is true, that might explain the problem. 

 

If they didn't add the images to the inventory as a package, sales would have gradually decreases

Oddly enough my sales have dropped to zero. The drop started in October and I reached zero sales this week which is the worst week since I started a year ago. I am still uploading pictures normally but it is really frustrating.

I have no Ai generated art in my portfolio and my sales dropped as well, maybe it's just period of time

This may be a cause because of the very low Christmas sales, or that may be a normal consequence of many new assets in the database, or that may be that your assets are not high in demand or that may be a different consequence. Nobody knows, as we do not have any insight in the overall sales and the sales per contributor. Those numbers stay Adobe confidential.
