Approved files not appearing in public portfolio

[DaynyPark]

I have a question regarding my portfolio. Some of my files were approved more than 12 weeks ago, but they still don’t appear in my public Adobe Stock portfolio. In the Contributor Dashboard, I can see them listed as Approved, but there is no “View on Adobe Stock” link, and when I search for them on the marketplace, I get the message: “We couldn't find any results for … Try your search outside of portfolios.”

Does this mean that my files are categorized as Licensing Only and not available in the public marketplace? If so, is there anything I can do to increase the chance of my future uploads being available in the public portfolio instead of licensing only?

Thank you very much for your help!

What country are you located in? It's possible that you're in one of the countries that requires additional vetting of images before they are displayed in that country.

I am from indonesia

Indonesia is one of the countries, where assets need additional vetting. Your assets are simply not open for sale in your country, neither are the majority of mine.

Hi Abambo, thanks a lot for the suggestion! I’ve updated my portfolio link to the Canada region. Now my portfolio is visible publicly, but I noticed there haven’t been any downloads yet. Do you know if buyers from outside Indonesia can see and download my assets, or is there anything else I should do to make them available globally?

Buyers in other countries that have no restrictions can see the assets.

You really do not understand how stock works? You have 9 assets competing against some 800 million other assets. Stock is a number game. You will need many more assets, and you need to continue to contribute steadily, if you want having a chance for a simple single sale. More sales makes your account more attractive. That's it.

And you do nothing to make anything available globally. Adobe does that. And as soon as an asset has been accepted, it is available for sale globally, except for some restricted countries, where Adobe needs to apply a second layer of moderation. But this is true for all new assets, not only for yours, but also for mine. It is no competitive disadvantage at all for you. 

But, stock is not a money printing machine. But you may be better off than me on this. This is because a single sale lets you earn the same money as me. If we both would make $20 a day, which would amount to approximately 28 sales a day, that would probably be more valuable to you than for me (generally low wage country against high wage country). Just to say, I'm not doing those $20 a day, I'm far behind that.
