It's really hard to sell a photo on Adobe Stock

It's really hard to sell a photo on Adobe Stock. Is there something wrong with how I'm writing the titles or keywords? I need everyone's help

Your very first image (the young boy) should not even have been accepted, given that some of the birds don't look like birds at all. And I'm betting there are others, though I haven't looked byond your first page. You also have a lot of similars and abstracts. Abstracts are especially difficult to sell, as they can easily be made by someone with little or no experience with AI, or can be found on the web for free by the millions. So why pay for them? So while you have 800 assets for sale, the similars really just count for one or two. And many contributors only start seeing substantial sales when they have a portfolio of 2000 to 5000 or more assets.

I searched for your meditating monk with the search term "meditating monk in autumn forest" and found it on the first page of returned results. So keep trying. Read the suggestions:

All your pictures are very 'abstract'/surreal. You should probably focus more on the down to earth - ordinary recognizable people and things. Look at 'best selling' pictures for example.

You may have nearly 800 images in your profile, but based on looking at just a couple of pages you have a LOT of similars. In one case, about 14 images with the same theme.. In terms of unique content, you have far less than 800. There are many millions of abstract backgrounds in the database, and the chance that yours will ever be found or licensed is close to 0.

Thank you for all the feedback.

If it would be easy, more people would do it.

Checking your account, I would say that you are at the limit of account spamming. You should not submit more than 3 variations of a specific theme. 

And your 4 monk with a flower and scale images are full of errors. I would not buy those, and if I would have bought, I would complain about the quality.

Less is more. I'm always at a loss as to how some moderators are apparently less knowledgeable of the rules regarding similars than some contributors. This is essentially one image out of your 800, substantially lowering the number of assets in your portfolio. And you do this a lot,
