Question

Please guide me on what is selling well on Adobe Stock right now. I have been a contributor for only 4 months and I’m still new. I don’t know what types of images I should create. I would really appreciate your advice.

    Personal interests are as good a place as any to start.

    1. Make lists of things that interest you and compare them with available Stock inventory.  
      1. Does Stock need this?
      2. How much content will I be competing with for views & sales? Under 10K is good. Over 10 million is bad. 
      3. Can I refine this to be more unique?
      4. Repeat with other items on your list.
    2. See Popular Subject Areas in your Contributor User Guide.

    Hope that helps.

    A diverse portfolio of various subjects is what to work toward.

    Go for the holiday and seasonal approach. But, be early. 10-12 weeks early is a good time. Start uploading autumn and Halloween themes now. Follow it with Thanksgiving, winter and Christmas. Non- seasonal genres can be uploaded through out the year.

    Not a bad idea, but I would go evergreen as much as possible. 

    Assets for “Happy New Year 2026” & “America’s 250th Birthday” had very short lifespans.

    Be creative and get better in all you do. Put things in order, what are your interests, how unique is your work, can you improve and how? Anyone can do AI, and today Adobe Stock is probably accepting less that 20% of all submissions. 

    Get out of your comfort zone! Share some work and be more precise with your questions. 

    Good Day!
