Congrats, your port is a good example that the position does not represent money earned. Hope it continues for you.

Thank you! I hope so too, but I don't count on it . The higher revenue was due to a single extended sale and sadly they don't happen often.

That looks promising!

May I ask the size of your port?

13k assets, from Photos, videos, Illustrations, vectors and some AI 

thanks for sharing.

I'm more interested in knowing how long you've been an Adobe Stock contributor,if possible,thanks.

2018! i had a 'friend' that worked as a reviewer on SS at that time, and he made me want to start with stock photography. also he taught me all he knows (since he was also one of the top 3 contributors from brazil, where i live. also brazil had only 2 reviewers that time). the reason i have many files and 'low' sales is because when i started i had the genius idea of shooting every flower/dog/tree i see. Lol.

This week keeps improving. Seems some folks came back to office after a vacation 

Yes, same here. People are working again!

Had a nice 21 dollar license today.

pos 2340, 5670 files

eta

by comparison: exactly 8 weeks ago I was at pos 7340 and utterly depressed...

The Adobe system is very, very, very dynamic.

For better balance I need a lot more files, at least 12-15 000

Winter/seasonal content not yet really selling, it is a mix of everything, lots of older files getting a first sale. Most sales are small sales.

you started the same year I started!

I started badly,because I had terrible hardware and I took photos with an old iPhone 6! 

today I have a better situation,I improved hardware and equipment both indoors and outdoors,but there is still a lot to invest.

you have a larger portfolio than mine,in the first 3 years of production I was very slow because my hardware didn't allow me to produce quickly.

thanks for sharing!   

Is today some kind of public holiday in the US?

Or maybe on Monday?

The week was really good, Europe today was normal, but the US has gone missing?

Not a holiday, but FWIW, I am seeing very low sales today....wondering if it's an Adobe glitch?

Perhaps some people are taking a long weekend?

It is still a summer holiday season.

Glad to hear it is not just me.

Sales almost vanished on Friday for me too here in Sydney Australia after a strong week up to Thursday evening.

normal day for me.

but now I'm going on holiday too here in Italy it's too hot,you're in Australia for you it's the opposite! 

I was in Melbourne in 2017-18,beautiful city,beautiful Australia in general,but the weather in Melborne is really unstable,it changes very often,I think Sydney is better for the weather because it is further north,Melbourne is really very far south.

anyway aside from this chatter,I think I'll slow down production,it's too hot,this month I'll probably upload less.

I need a vacation,my brain is on fire,and you know that's not good because my head already doesn't work as it should! 

Have a nice holiday :-)

Today (Friday) was the slowest day at AS for me this week, about half the sales as Monday to Thursday.

Yes the weather right along the east coast of Australia (including Sydney) has been very unstable in recent years. I moved back from Canberra in November 2021 to Sydney after near 14 years and I've never in my 53 years seen so much cloud and wet weather generally. It's almost like we swapped weather systems with the UK! 

This is the best my weekly position has ever been (first attachment) as I aim for earnings, but earnings have been under pressure in recent weeks (second attachment). I've noticed Adobe's algorithm has adapted to earnings pressure with higher sales volume which is really good to see. One not-so-good result is that I've not had one higher video commission for at least several weeks (ie: Over $20). Don't know why but figure if this might be due to Adobe moving 4k over to regular pricing but otherwise it's just been slow for higher video sales generally.     

I think those are very good results. And a good reminder that you can have a lot more money than the position suggest because it just counts downloads.

I hope you get more higher video sales soon.

In September everything will be back to normal.

inspite of slow Friday still a small improvement

Excited for next week

Will try to add a lot more people

Interesting....my sales yesterday and so far today are on the significantly low side as well...in sync with the last time...what was that a week ago?

Could be that last week was good because customers were spending last credits before going on vacation.

Now down to pos 2930

It is similar to Christmas/New Year, Dec 15 - Jan20, but July 20-August 20 is nearly as bad for me.

Actually it is worse, at least in winter there still is Orthodox christmas.

However, I am still seeing several first time sales and today I even sold 3 people images, which unusual for me.

Also sold an easter egg. Some people start very early.

So far today 22 sales and 15 usd on a port with now 5700 files in the summer slump.  I guess it is ok.

I just really don't like going down.

After 9.00am, Thursday morning in Sydney and here's how my trend line is looking since May 6....

That's always a very quiet time for me. I can't wait for August 20th!

Yes, me too, can't wait for summer to end and people get back to work.

Down, down, down, I hate it so much.

Next year I must have much, much better content for the summe season.
