Hello,

I have published an article with an in-depth statistical analysis of all Adobe Stock portfolios, you can read it here in my blog:
https://www.alltageinesfotoproduzenten.de/2019/06/05/analyse-der-portfolios-bei-fotolia-und-adobe-stock/

It's in German though, but the numbers speak for itself and Google Translate might help as well.

Best regards,
Robert

Well done-very interesting.

Thank you ! Very interesting analysis
Your article gives ideas to write a statistical analysis of all ShutterStock portfolios.

Wow, wow! Thank you for sharing this!

Can you please check how many contributors with "Anzahl Ranking (Smaragd bis Diamant)" come from Slovenia?

Thank you again!

hello Stockmaan, there are 7 contributor from Slovenia who have reached Emerald ranking and two who reached Saphire ranking.

Thanks for sharing this (Google translate did a functional job for the most part - I do not speak German)

In general, your findings didn't surprise me - this sort of pattern has been around since the early days of microstock sites. A small number of contributors responsible for the bulk of the sales. Huge numbers of "contributors" who never get beyond a handful of images.

Not sure what it means for people considering starting in 2019 as far as how hard it is now versus a decade ago to climb those ranks if you build a large portfolio. I'm guessing it's harder now
