Hi there, after uploading images and they have been aproved. What is my next steps that I need take to get them sold? I have been using AS for more than a year now with a couple of photos that have been approved, but haven't made any sales. Please help.

After the photo is approved, you do not have to do anything further. Important is that your keywording and title make it findable. Also your photo has to be of quality and subject that someone wants to buy it. Remember, in some categories there are millions of photos. Yours must stand out and be found.

Hi @Ranger25368074xlmb ,

As said by @RALPH_L , you do not need to do anything. However, the more you upload is the more likely it is to get sales. You need variety, and volume and to keep your account active so that the algorithm keeps you current. If you wish to share your files link on social media it's ok but not a requirement for sales.

Best wishes

Hello. How many photos should an average portfolio have per dollar earned? For example, I now have 36 accepted photos in my portfolio. And only one sale. Is this a normal indicator? Or is it not enough for so many photos?

By some estimates,  you’ll need to have uploaded at least 6,000 images on a variety of subjects to earn a passive income of $500/month.  Some images will sell many times over and other images will sell very little or not at all.  So your mileage may vary by content and other factors.
