Just had a huge day today.  On it's way to BWE for photos on Adobe Stock.  Thank you for your support!!

Was wondering how many photos you have on your port. For me if I sell a file a week, I'm lucky.

I have about 10,400 photos right now.  About 4,200 are AI generated.  How many do you have?  Less than 10?

No man, around 2600 images and 500 videos. Probably because I have started recently.

Not gonna lie, that's pretty bad. I have currently a port of approx 700 AI images and weekly up to 10 sales, which is also pretty bad.
I have added in the beginning much crappy stuff, which I now sort out and upload new better content.

I was thinking, that's because maybe I have started last year, and don't have enough views. Or something like this.

What I would do is to keyword search for similar images you have uploaded and sort by "Download" to see what's the difference between your image and the ones selling the most.  I don't think it has anything to do with you started last year.  That's too optimistic.

So you saying that's because of my keywords might be wrong or not enough?

If you only have 1 sale per week for 2,600 images, you aren't producing the right kind of images.  Beautiful image that nobody need won't sell.  You got to focus on market research.  Otherwise you'll be wasting time and will be massively disappointed and exhausted.

These videos may help you get a better idea.

Thanks for the links. I usually produce landscapes or aerial photos and videos.

Landscapes can be very saturated already especially famous places.  I haven't had good results either.  Those can be the beautiful images that don't sell because of supply/demand balance.

Some drone landscape images do sell good. Sold some couple of times. Everything with the camera, is not really good with sales for some reason.

Drone videos sell well too.  If I'm allowed to fly drones anywhere, I'll be focusing on that too.

To honest o have sold only 1 video with my gopro and 1 with the drone. Not many have sold. Most of my videos are taken with my drones.

Own 3 of them so I can fly them everywhere.

I'm doing some Ai images, not sure how these will sell.

Finally I cracked above 1,000th because of yesterday's hot sales.  Also it's already the BWE for photo downloads this week.  Nice!!

Good job! How many times has your best AI photo sold? And are you seeing the majority of new sales from AI, or your previous/real life photography photos?

Very good! Congrats!

probably not bad for a 4200 file port, but I was hoping for much better spring sales.

need many more files. now upped my midjourney contract to 60 dollars to enable stealth mode. and hopefully that will push me to do more with midjourney to get better at using it. i still don't feel really comfortable but it does make much better people than stable.

also trying to do more with firefly.

now have prompting costs around 100 dollars a month. but longterm it should be worth it.

I am trying!! But I rarely upload more than 20 files a day. Maybe it will get better with midjourney, we will see.

Also started again with regular photos/videos.

I must diversify and also send content to other agencies. You never know what happens, perhaps ai will die next year if so many people are pushing content in.

Especially editorial should keep its value or might even go up in value.

wow fantastic!a well deserved result!

Firefly is better in my opinion,Midjourney is better for some things,but the way it works with Discord is too annoying,not only do you have to use stealth mode,but then you would have to operate in a private server,with which you only have the Midjourney BOT,and you have to adjust the settings so that no one can access your server,and then all this is not enough,you also have to unpublish the images in the Midjourney feed,not just in Discord.

so while you do all this your images will still be seen by other users in the Midjourney feed not in the Discord feed.

before I started operating in this way,I discovered that someone was copying all my prompts,in Discord there are people who do just this,they follow the feeds and copy and paste the prompts...very annoying!

All images you prompt are visible to anyone else, to download, to use the prompt etc....it is one of the reasons why so much midjourney content is near identical. people do a search, find the image presented on adobe with high downloads and just reuse the prompt.

from 60 dollars a month onwards, you can enable a "stealth" mode, then your images and your prompting remains private.

however, it probably means you have to keep paying that forever, because as soon as you downgrade your content is visible again.

so i am not sure this is a good longterm solution.

firefly and stable are private.

Could you please clarify? As far as I know - all images are stealth... what "midjourney" feed are you referring to?

Thanks!

stealth mode is not enough,is enough just for Discord feed,go to the Midjourney site,where you manage your subscription,there you have all your images that you can download in compressed folders,then select all the images and then select "unpublish"

thank you, will try to figure it out.

I think I might just totally delete files, once I have them all secured.

that is quite sneaky, thank you for pointing this out.

you think you are safe in stealth mode, then you still need to unpublish manually every single file.

I think I might start deleting completely

Can we delete completely??

eta: cannot find a delete button...

next question: do the files stay unpublished if I downgrade?

that would open the option of doing one month hardcore midjourney in stealth mode, next month downgrade to 10 dollars, then again one month in stealth mode etc...
