Is there a specific reason for the decline in sales at the present time?I have( 50,000)fifty thousand photos yet my sales aren't that high $27 this week alone

    Correct answer DaveFX

    i have only videos ... 3000+ No AI .. so my situation in different from yours .... i havent see any decrease in sales in this summer, i have a wide range portfolio ... i do motion design and i cover lot of topics ... the first week of July has been the better from April ... in your case i think it's the huge competitions in the AI images market, lot of people have nowadays huge portfolios with only AI images ... as well as the physiological decline during the summer ...

      What is a normal sales week? 50k of assets does per se not imply that you have high sales.

      Increased competition. Vacation season. Extreme weather conditions. Any number of reasons.

        Does this mean that there is a possibility of sales returning to what they were before? I did not understand what was meant by the second sentence.

        Nancy you are right, especially for the Non AI market ... the "Outshine your competition" in the AI images market i think is not so easy to do because AI images are the same, i mean are very similar to one another .... for example i found in the motion design realm (No AI), a niche that has a very good demand but the offer/assets are old and dated .. .so i made some of them focusing on quality and are selling well for me .... in this case i "outshined" the competition ... until someone makes better assets tha mine 🙂


        Yes, the bar is always moving. Remaining relevant is a challenge in a rapidly changing environment.

         

        There are two types of AI contributors:

        1. Those who rely on AI to do 100% of the heavy lifting for them.

        2. Those who use AI as a tool rather than a final product. 

         

        In the long run, I think the latter group is more likely to be successful. Particularly if they mix AI with their own content & style.

         

        I use AI as a starting point for some original paintings. When I'm done, it looks nothing like the machine generated content, which is the whole point of the exercise, to make it uniquely my own.
