I've moved your post from Using the Community (for questions about the forums) to Adobe Stock Contributors for you.

It's better not to multiply accounts. you may get banned for that. However, in the past, Adobe tolerated people having different accounts for different types of assets. You need to be careful not to submit the same or similare assets to different accounts. If you submit vector assets, Adobe generates JPEG and PNG files from those assets. I wouldn't really create more than two accounts (Generative AI and non AI). It get's fast unmanagable.

thank you for the responsese,

I can understand so far that I can have one account for PNG and images and another for Vectorized images, Am I right?

Not if the images are the same!

The guidelines for multiple accounts are on this help page:

Why do you want to create multiple accounts? There are benefits to keeping all assets in one account.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. PNGs, images, and AI generations all fall under the same general category of images. You can't, for example, upload a PNG with a transparent background and the same image as a JPEG with a solid background. Once you're juggling a couple thousand or more images among multiple accounts, keeping track of them all to avoid duplications would be daunting. One account for images and another for videos, or maybe one for images and another for vectors, would seem more reasonable.

Assuming you have a massive body of work, you might need separate accounts for Photography, Vectors, Video and Generative AI. 

• Customers search for subjects, and sort by filters.
• Duplicating the same content across multiple accounts will get you banned.
• So my answer is no.  There is nothing to be gained from splitting file types up into separate accounts.

Hope that helps.

I am saying is that I am not duplicating an image or vector to any account. I have team of about 5 persons and thinking to start Start adobe stocks, if I can't have accounts on my own name can I have accounts on my team members name possibly. (Not duplicating an asset or not using even a single image to upload again)

also thank you all for the valuable replies.

[daniellei4510]

I worry about "teams." I can't count the number of "team" accounts that have been blocked or completely deactivated never to return. This suggests your team is uploading hundreds of thousands of images weekly and I can't help but wonder how you can produce so many assets. Just spit balling here, but I'm going strictly on what Ive seen in the past when it comes to "teams."

And I'm not suggesting you would purposely upload duplicate images, but if a "team" is uploading images, there are bound to be duplicates at one time or another.

Read the Adobe Stock Contributor Agreement. No one can submit assets for which they are not the content owner and creator. Submitting assets that were created by someone else will surely get your account blocked.

So Does that mean I can't Hire someone to work for me 

[daniellei4510]

Just curious. How much do you expect to earn selling stock if you can afford to pay someone else (a team, no less) to edit and/or upload your assets for you?

[PNG_only]

I am not sure I am assuming to earn about 1k to 2k thing a month.

Also can I seek guidance to reach this goal ASAP. Like what to work on tools that big contrubutors like @Jill_C  use.

Than you all for the help.

I have learned alot about what to do and what to not. 

[daniellei4510]

Good luck with that. But be warned, contributors who attempt to achieve such a goal in the least amount of time possible (especially when it comes to AI) will usually get their accounts suspended for spamming or other violations of terms. Per his YouTube channel, I know of one contributor who managed to make 3K in his first year (not per month, an entire year), but his account was ultimately suspended for spamming. He managed to get his account back, but his earnings took a nosedive from there on in.

I am not a "big time contributor". I have about 3,000 photographs in my portfolio, and continue to add more at a slow and steady rate. I am not here to make a living from Adobe stock. I am here to monetize some of the images I have captured around the world during my travels. It's best to have realistic expectations regarding your earnings potential from Adobe Stock. Though there are probably some Contributors who earn thousands of dollars from Stock sales, those are in the minority. Most of us regard this as "hobby income" or a "side hustle".

There are creative agencies that supply stock imagery to Adobe Stock, but I assume they have a different Contributor Agreement. You'd have to contact Adobe directly to determine how one goes about entering into such an arrangement. Meanwhile, if you have signed and accepted the existing Contributor Agreement, you only have the right to submit images that you created yourself.

There is a possibility to get a corporate contributor account. The company still needs to control the copyright and usage rights for the assets.

===========

• Each Team Member must be at least 18 years old and create their own Adobe Stock Contributor account. 
• They must complete & submit a Tax Withholding form.
• They must have a verified bank account with PayPal, Skrill or Payoneer to receive funds from Adobe Stock.
• They may NOT upload work by other artists. 
• Read the TERMS.  If a contributor violates any of the TERMS, their account can be suspended or terminated.

Royalty fees are paid directly to individual contributors.  If they wish to share royalties with you, that's a private agreement between you and your team members.  It has nothing to do with Adobe Stock.

Hope that helps.
