Should I delete images that are not selling.

[Saulo Collado]

I've been creating a large ammount of images and have over 6000 images acepted inot adobe stock. A large ammount seems to not be selling. I put my best effort into getting the proper tags so content is easy to find. I did not focus on any spefic niche and have done a lot of different topics and concepts. So my question is if it's better to focus on a couple of niches and delete images from my porfolio or should i leave them up and focus on niches going forward.

There is no reason for you to delete previously accepted assets unless you feel they don't represent the current quality level you are producing.

I think you are right. I'm going to take a more strategic aproach and focus more on the content that is selling well.

Also search the database for images in the keyword category you are thinking of submitting. Even in the Generstive AI category, which now contains more than 10 million assets, there are already over-represented subjects.

Remember pre-COVID, nobody cared about PPE face masks.  Then bam! Everyone wanted models in PPE face masks.

What's trending well today might not be trending well tomorrow. 

Pay attention to trends and try to anticipate what might be trending in the future.

Good luck.

I do not recommend deleting assets that are not selling. Several of my sleepers wake up at some point and start selling. And others that sold 2 years ago, go now sleeping. If you see that an asset is currently trending, you can look into your database to see if you can add more of those. I would not delete assets, except for those that were accepted by error (because the moderator did a vetting error).

Thank you so much I appreciate the info.
