Why my Adobe Stock images have no downloads

Hello everyone,
I have uploaded around 20 images to Adobe Stock, and they have all been accepted. However, I noticed that I haven’t received any downloads yet.

I’m wondering , could it be that my images are not appearing in search results, or maybe they are too low in ranking?
Is there a way to check how visible my images are or improve their chances of being seen by buyers?

Any advice about keywords, titles, or how to make my images more discoverable would be very helpful.

Thank you!

You need a large portfolio of diverse subjects that appeal to a wide range of customers. That doesn't happen right away. For some people, it takes years.

Then, you have to offer assets that are in high demand and be lucky enough to appear at or near the top of web searches, so people can find your work. Getting accepted is only one piece of the much bigger picture.

Don't be discouraged. Just keep working at it. You'll start making sales eventually.

Search on stock.adobe.com using a few of the keywords on your images. If they don't appear in the first few pages of search results, they're unlikely to get noticed by Buyers. With well over 800 million assets in the database, you have a lot of competition !

You'll need at LEAST 500 to 1000 assets before you start seeing regular sales. Your 20 assets are competing against millions of other assets on Adobe Stock.
