Doubts with the tagging of videos

[Nature1213]

Hello Adobe people, I have a problem. I can't sell what I really would like or have to sell. I suspect the problem is with the tagging, good tagging is essential when trying to get people to download a video or photo. I am currently uploading photos and videos of sky and clouds.

This was the label before putting the sky and clouds videos:

evening, sky, gray, light, environment, sunlight, bluish, beautiful, color, abstract, nature, weather, clouds, blue, wind, fluffy, fluffy, time lapse, day, atmosphere, bright, space, cumulus, strange, sky, high, outdoors, cloudscape, shape, meteorology, white, cloud, beauty, outdoors, compact, mass, greyish, whitish, cloudy ,grey, time-lapse, backgrounds, air, speed, motion,

After reading an Adobe article that further explained tagging, I created a new tag, which is this:

Evening, clouds, sky, meteorology, sky, landscape, timelapse, joy, peace, aerial, open air, climatology, climate, light, bright, during the day, beautiful, beauty, environment, color, blue, white, nature, time, speed, fast, slow, video, wind, abstract, fluffy, compact, dense, background

Is the new tag better than the old one? What is the problem with the tag if there is one, what words would you add to the tag to improve it?

Have you spent many hours researching the tags by searching on them? To see what your competition is, and how many thousand or million images there are with similar tags? Does your photo show in the 100 pages of results?

Yes, I have looked at people's tags, and fortunately my videos appear on the first pages, but I don't have all the downloads that I would like or should have, so I suspect that I have not tagged well.

If your assets appear on the first pages they are getting seen by potential Buyers. The problem is that it's a very competitive category. When I searched videos in "clouds sky" there were nearly 1.9 million results. Perhaps add another tag for the type of clouds - cirrus, nimbus, cumulus, etc.

So, I'm doing it "right", correct? The problem is that there is a lot of competition, perhaps what is needed to have more downloads is to improve the quality, and for that I need more advanced photographic equipment. And another question, you can put up to 49 keywords maximum in a video or a photo, but would that be considered spam or if the words are consistent with what appears in the video or photo, is it not spam?

[Jill_C]

Of course, your keywords must be applicable to the asset you've uploaded, and to include incorrect keywords is not necessarily spamming, but really annoys potential Buyers who get incorrect results when they're searching for assets. So, only include the keywords that accurately describe your asset.

May be your asset does not sell, because the subject is not as hot as you think it is. To sell an asset, you need to find a buyer. You find a buyer, when your subject is hot. To make the buyer finding your asset, you need to have the correct titles and keywords. Just to say: sky and clouds is not a hot topic. 

[Nature1213]

One question, what do you mean by hot? Do you mean that the title has to be eye-catching and well labeled? The title is also important, it has to be eye-catching to attract the attention of the potential buyer.

[Abambo]

Hot = something that buyers are looking for!

The title is important to the searches. So, it should be quite descriptive.

Hot means it's trending right now & there's high demand for it. 

Example, nobody cared about PPE face masks until COVID. During COVID lockdowns the hot search phrase on Stock was "people wearing protective masks."

[Nancy OShea]

Maybe you're not giving customers what they want.  Or perhaps you're in a fiercely competitive keyword category that just doesn't have much demand right now. 

Sky.cloud have over 16 million assets in Stock.
