How many images should be on adobe stock for it to make minimal profit

[danielk96]

I have been posting generated photos in midjourney on adobe stock since april 2023. There is very little income. In fact the photo was bought for 25+ euros only once in May this year. The rest, as I understand it, are downloads. As they mostly bring income about 1-2 euros, and then once a month. Basically all the photos that have been sold or downloaded so far are related in some way to mars - martian apartments, ruins on mars. I don't know why. At the beginning of October I had 133 photos, now I have uploaded more photos and I have 300 photos already. Why so little income? I also wanted to say that I haven't used upscalers yet, as most of them are paid. Might be worth using. Can anyone recommend a quality upscaler?

Quality, trends, and seasonal assets aside, I'd estimate one needs at least 3 to 4 thousand assets to start seeing regular sales. As for your sales related to Mars, I don't know why, either.

You need diversity in your portfolio.

Diversify, upload only the highest quality assets, avoid genres that are already over-represented in Adobe Stock, and keep up a slow but steady submission rate. Doing so will allow you to gradually grow your portfolio to several thousand images which is necessary to ensure a more steady rate of sales.

Stock is not a manner to get quickly rich. I use stock mostly for "overflow" income. Using my picture library and uploading assets in free time, and taking whatever sales I get.
