What is the $0.29 earning?

I've been seeing such a low payment for two days now. It was 33 cents before. Then they reduced it to 29. Then they reduce it to 20 cents, then to 10 cents. Just like on the other site. Disappointment. I don't want to upload anymore. Adobe Stock is killing itself.

OK. Don't upload anymore. For the record, I figured out my average cost per image over 1 year's time and it comes to .73. And it's pretty consistent, despite also having occasional royalties below .33.

So, your assets attract a lot of custom sales, meaning from big subscribers licensing anything they can grab to test out the asset, they want to use. The one dollar sales are from subscribers who need to think about their licensing strategy, as they have only 10 credits per month. They don't license anything, just what they will use.

I was buyer myself a long time ago with both large and small subscriptions for different companies. With a large subscription these are usually marketing firms, SEO masters whos working for many companies at once, magazines and large companies, with a small one — for example, a beauty salon or restaurant, a person who just makes his own website.

Occasional? I get paid less than 33 cents every day. I have 18 sales this week but my profit is $9. If I made 18 sales in February and before, I would earn 16-17.

Those are probably custom sales. Adobe enters into custom subscriptions with some customers for whom the standard subscriptions don't meet their needs.

Custom?

 

You are living in a free world. You may or you may not contribute. But I doubt that Adobe stock is killing itself. Other stock sites are doing well with 10 cents royalties. Fortunately, Adobe is not reading the posts here, I would rather not give them ideas.

I guess Adobe pays you a salary. It is very pathetic to be a royalist rather than a king.

Lose the attitude. Unless you see a red badge next to someone's name, everyone here is a volunteer.

It was already reported about $0.32 earning here https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors-discussions/did-minimum-royalties-earning-change-without-us-being-told/td-p/14569202 . And yes, it was a custom license. I recently also faced with my first $0.32 sale. And, as we see now, it's not a limit 🙂

Those sales were probably from Custom Subscriptions. Adobe has negotiated Custom Stock Subscriptions with some high volume customers for whom the standard subscriptions don't meet their needs.
