Have you also had a big drop in sales?
Me especially with images created with AI

Jaggy · « **Reply #1 on:** September 15, 2023, 07:09 »

Nope, sales are tracking normally and I don't have any AI.

cobalt · « **Reply #2 on:** September 15, 2023, 07:17 »

No, I have zero AI and sales are up but following normal seasonal patterns so far.

Sales are quite normal for me.
For what I can see, having some AI images, the sales for AI are much more fluctuating than photos, and it seems to me that life of AI images is shorter than photos, probably because most successful photos are quickly duplicated.

Or maybe it's just in my case, the timing is too short to see real trends for AI

Sales were low this week - but no big drop. I don‘t have any AI images.

No AI images here either. Adobe Stock is my best performing agency this month and it is usually not due to just a smaller protfolio than the others.

Pond5 is a complete disaster for me with now over 2000 clips (and they are sell-able) now and not one sale this month so far even with hundreds of views. Shutterstock is performing poor so far this month too.

Shutterstock started slowly for me this month but last week was pretty good and made up for it. Adobe is on track to be a good month. Revenue on both is only average for the month although the bonus payment for the Adobe Firefly training helped.

Sales great. Better than Shutterstock too

For me sales have declined much more for SS. That being said I have barely uploaded anything this year. I used to have way more video sales at SS but now I get more at AS despite having fewer videos there. Is that the case for anyone else as well?

Lowls · « **Reply #11 on:** September 18, 2023, 09:52 »

Sales are doing really well. Not on here which is dead. But the other agencies are doing well. Up on last year.

Injustice for all · « **Reply #12 on:** September 18, 2023, 09:55 »

BME for me this month,and BWE too!

Truly an incredible month at AS,even removing the Firefly bonus,I have sold 5 times more than normal so far!Keep it up!

Since I no longer waste time with Istock,I can dedicate almost all my time to the best agency out there:Adobe Stock.

SS has been bad for two months now,an endless rain of 10 cents,I hope there will be some good singles soon or unfortunately if things continue like this I'll stop with SS.

Edit:my portfolio is AI free!

DaLiu · « **Reply #13 on:** September 19, 2023, 07:35 »

Very good month for me as well, both AS and SS are going very strong in sales, no images made BY AI in my portofolio as well.

MZP · « **Reply #14 on:** September 19, 2023, 09:35 »

For me also things go pretty well. Sales are increasing from month to month, and AS is the best agency in terms of earnings. Partly because I have a lot of AI generated images in my portfolio, but even if I only take non-AI content into consideration, AS still makes the most $$ these days

Income from video sales is $2.8. Is this an Adobe subscription?

KimC · « **Reply #16 on:** September 22, 2023, 10:34 »

My sales on Adobe are also normal, perhaps a little above normal. I have no AI content..

cascoly · « **Reply #17 on:** September 22, 2023, 13:47 »

I normally request money at the end of each month, but this month I too requested a payout after the Firefly "bonus" showed up. I haven't yet been paid either. They say 7-10 days (I think - it might say 7-10 business days).

I can't request my end of the month payout until the earlier one is paid - you're not allowed to make a request if there's a payment pending - so I hope they sort this out next week.

So did i. I checked in my email. Thank you so much, very kind as usual!

i'm also waiting for the payment but I already know it will arrive today.

when the payment status changes from "pending" to "waiting for payment"
It means will arrive the same day.

in Italian language is "in attesa" that change in "in attesa di pagamento"
