That week I had about $200 in sales.  Around 12,000 images in portfolio.  Only $1/wk for 4,000 assets is pretty bad honestly.  If you can post your portfolio, I can give you an advice.  My portfolio is below.

Thanks. I can PM my portfolio if that's OK.

Last week I had only $1 income, the lowest on couple of weeks, with around 4200 assets. I even noticed the review time takes way too long. They usually get it quicker
I have now 500 images in the queue. On other agencies these already have been approved.

I face the same situation. I used to have several downloads per day in recent months. It dropped to almost nothing starting last week just like that. So to me something must have changed in the Adobe algorithm how stock is searched and sell.

Yes, seems like the algorithm has changed. I'm getting a lot of older images selling. Plus sales have dropped. Hopefully they change it back soon  :D

12.000 images, impressing job, tedious work, just great, with one little handicap: going through page after page they all look like super perfect manufactured AI photos, even they are not.
My mind is disrupted by AI, I love hand crafted photos from which are not perfect, compared with home made food, but with soul.

In my opinion "blvdone" did an impressive job.

There is a lot of work and sacrifice in generating and improving thousands of AI images that are in his portfolio,which was already a high-level portfolio before AI.

Furthermore,in my opinion "blvdone" was good because moved quickly,long before me and many others in devise,generating,indexing and uploading thousands of AI contents in very short time.

So credit where credit is due!  :)

You can thank me by PM me your dealer's contact information!  :D

I think Adobe went funny on my portfolio. None of my 800 files have been reviewed and, none of images nominated and received an email saying that some of my images have been re reviewed and have been removed from the port. Probably will stop supply any images or videos to them...

My portfolio is 6,000 real photos and 6,000 AI images.  Nobody go through somebody's portfolio page by page to find the image they want.  They just do keyword search.  Also, based on my sales, buyers don't care about AI or real photos.  It took about 10 years to get to 6,000 real photos.  It took less than 1 year to get to 6,000 AI photos.  And my revenue has nearly doubled.  So, I would rather be smart and not miss this opportunity with AI photos.  Good luck!!

Thank you!!!  I actually came in late in this AI game.  I started in September last year.  At that time, there were already millions of AI images on Adobe Stock.  I started the AI image creation because I felt threatened by those AI images potentially taking away sales from real photos.  I'm glad I started making AI images.  It's the only growth I see in stock photos now.

In a forum in Turkey, a user talked about sales on Adobe that brought in around $60. I saw this a few years ago. I have been loading for 1.5 years and I have never had a sale of that amount. My highest sales were around $6, and that only happened once. Are there any sales that make a profit of 50-60 dollars?

September last year was a great time to start uploading AI,it was until December,before whatever you did with AI you sold very easily,now it's already different,it's always a good time even now,but for sure it wasn't as easy as up until December.

the fundamental difference is in the time it takes them to sell,now it takes a few months before they start to take off,previously sales were often immediate after approval.

but you could tell me better because you have more AI than me,have you noticed this difference too?

I still have tens of thousands of AIs to send for review,can you believe I can't find the time?I'm too busy with videos and other projects,I have to get moving on these AIs,I've already selected some batches I absolutely have to find the time,maybe next month I will only send AI for the whole month.

I just got my latest upload from June 22nd reviewed today.  Only about a week for them to review.  Is it normal these days?
