I think it's pretty clear that you are stealing images.

This is just one example:. 845 results on TinEye after a reverse image search. There are others. Many others. A few of them are (or were) on Adobe Stock (links of which lead to what I assume are banned accounts). Variations of the image go back to 2018 (without the Roman numerals). For someone who hasn't sold any images, this image sure does appear a lot on the internet.

 

So imagine: someone buys this image. The original copyright holder contacts the buyer with a takedown notice or threatening legal action. The buyer responds by saying they bought it from Adobe. The copyright holder contacts Adobe and threatens legal action. The buyer also contacts Adobe and also threatens legal action for the problems they are experiencing over this purchase.

This account needs to be investigated. They are stealing random images. From Amazon. Etsy. You name it. @Contributor1?

You may be correct. For an asset with no sales, this picture is pretty popular: 

An analysis of this account should probably not hurt.

I'm not able to look at your keywords, but your titles are not nearly descriptive enough. "Earth in Space", setting aside that it not an image that you have the rights to, is an inadequate title.

If @daniellei4510 is correct, all tipps are mood.

A quick reverse image search on a sample of these images infivsyrd that virtually all of then do not belong to you. Why are you trying to sell what is not yours?

You are missing another 5000 assets. You really need many assets. You are in competition with many other people and your assets need to be found first...

What are your expectations? You have been at this for less than one month and only 80 images. We have been at this for several years and have several thousands of images. It is a huge market that you have to compete with. 

Keep at it and your images will sell. 

One thing I have to point out. You are required to be the owner of all your images. If this is not the case, your account will be suspended and your earnings will be frozen. Looking at your portfolio I see images where I doubt that you are the lawful owner. For instance, photos of the earth from space.  I am telling you this so that you do not loose your earnings. Not because I am accusing you.

Well, I agree with @RALPH_L . Your assets are so diverse, I would be inclined to say that you may have uploaded assets that are not yours. BTW: 2024 assets won't sell anymore.
