Question

No sales for a long time

Greetings to the forum participants. There have been no sales for six weeks. I've been working with Adobe Stock for several years and don't recall such a sharp drop in sales. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

    SD, It’s hard to give an answer without more specific data. You literally mean zero sales? What were your average weekly/monthly sales 6 weeks ago?  When was the last time you submitted new material? 

    I have been active for 15 months, and I have consistently submitted an average of 100 photos and videos every month. So far I am experiencing consistent monthly growth in assets sold, and last week I had the highest week in dollar amount. I have also learn that 75% of my assets have not sold once. So today I am more careful and push myself to upload more of what is selling. 

    I hope you find this insight helpful.

    Cheers!

    Life happens. Customer buying habits are influenced by many factors. 

    Also, Adobe Stock’s database has grown closer to a billion assets. You’re competing with more inventory now than previously.

    My sales have been noticeably reduced since the outbreak of war. Economic concerns have probably caused a slow down in projects.

    During this period without sales, have you been actively submitting new content? I think having new content approved regularly might help improve the visibility of your portfolio.

    In my opinion, it's too sharp

    Competition, the rising cost of living, weather, more people creating their own assets with AI...any number of reasons.
