That is a fantastic result, congratulations!

You are always inspiring me to upload more videos.

Over all agencies combined I just  might reach 800, just got a 16 dollar eyeem market sale for one image. Hope they start selling regularly again.

The majority of sales is Adobe, but since still 80% of my uploads are adobe I dont feel it would be fair to currently make a comparison.

However, I am amazed I have sales with 1 million files coming in every day.

The adobe algos seem to be quite good at managing the flood.

And currently camera content is usually still outselling ai daily.

This will probably change in summer because I have little summer camera content.

@SimonSays

 :D no,I just checked my sales on Adobe after 10 days,I will publish the results shortly,I do it because I think it is interesting for Adobe to read how it is going for all of us,and obviously I think it is also interesting for all those who follow us.

I understand that what I was doing might seem like a complaint,but that's not the case,mine is simply a statement of the facts,which I think could be interesting for everyone to know.

my flaw,a flaw I've always had,and as a dear friend of mine once said,is that I tell always the truth,maybe too much!

according to my friend I should have lied to a girl I met who is much younger than me,I could have done it easily because I don't look my age,but I didn't do it,while my friend,smarter than me,lied all the time! hahaha!  :D
anyway it ended well for me anyway,this girl much younger than me,appreciated my sincerity.

this has always been my problem,I have always told the truth too much.

and yes,I am obsessed with my sales on Adobe,because for me can make an important difference,for some/many this is just a hobby,for me it is not,the results on Adobe are of fundamental importance to me.

Don't know if Adobe cares about your numbers but let me wish you good luck with the numbers you found and that they are what you hoped for  ;)

looks like people enjoy reading and commenting and following us injustice.

at least we have sales...and want to improve our income.

others are just here to enjoy playing in politics threads.
How does putting your sales and rank on the forum every day improve sales and income?

And what's the point of increasing your sales if you spend your time poking around the forum? *wink*
This question might well pop into someones head ;-)

sharing sales day data, not just here but also in many groups, allows those interested to notice algo changes and flows.

i have been doing this for nearly 20 years, so why should i stop now?? (whenever i was actively doing stock)

the main reason to spend time in stock is to make money.

this is like various food sellers sharing a drink at the end of the day and gossiping about their sales of oranges and cucumbers.

not interested, don't do it...

why is that a problem??

i am very naturally interested and motivated by hearing how others are doing.

others come to this forum to argue about trump...makes no sense to me

eta

in my case it also saves me time. i keep getting questions from people who used to do stock and are considering getting back in. i direct the questions here, so they can follow my progress or decline.

a lot of people think i am crazy to attempt getting back to a full time income. and maybe they are right, we will see?

Jasmine, you are not crazy for pursuing a full-time income in microstock. You are a passionate, hardworking optimist, and that quality is essential for success in any endeavor.

It is a start. Welcome back!

You sell ai much better than me, I still sell mostly camera files. If I didnt have them, my sales would be much lower.

my position on January 26th is....I don't know!I'll check again on January 31st!  :D
You need to check every day and post your current weekly rank here, every day. If nothing changes just post the same meaningless nonsense over again with the time and day.

At least In Justice only posts his weekly rank, once a week.

the rank changes every day and i enjoy reading daily sales posts in many places.

I mean, I have daily sales so

seriously, who are all these people who come to a stock forum and are not interested in stock sales?

the places where people share daily stats is where you see people steadily grow their income.

sadly this place has become a whine fest where the only allowed opinion is that stock is dead when it clearly isnt.

the day ended with 58 dl, 46 dollars, 20 ai, 38 camera.  all just adobe

Another little improvement to pos 1540

of course you are happy to continue with these results.

I,on the other hand,think I'll stop here,because it's not possible to sell so little with my portfolio.

I understand that I can't sell 10 times more but I should sell at least 2-3 times more.

I firmly believe that if you and I create the exact same content and it gets approved at the exact same time,your content will sell much more than mine.

I really lack visibility,and I think that continuing to upload will only further dilute my portfolio.

I think it's better to let my portfolio settle down and sell what I already have,in order to gain visibility.

Of course the new uploads bring visibility,but I certainly can't continue with these results.

the number of sales is too low for my portfolio,and the sales generated by the new content do not add to the sales I already make with the old content,but rather replace it.

I sell old and new content,what I sell changes,but the total result does not change.

this was also seen in January,in which I had the same number of sales as in January 2024,when instead I certainly should have sold more,given that a year has passed and my portfolio has grown by 40%.

so in my opinion,continuing to upload in these conditions is unfavorable for me,even because I have low visibility.

if and when I sell at least double what I sell now,I might perhaps think about uploading again,but that's enough for the moment,I will still try to reach at least 300 approved contents this year,for the bonus contributor,if ever in the future I want to continue.

pos 1320, 7750 files

"I firmly believe that if you and I create the exact same content and it gets approved at the exact same time,your content will sell much more than mine.
"

You know perfectly well that is nonsense, adobe takes 7 million files a week, how could anyone influence something like that??

The fact that we don't upload the same content at the same time is the reason we have different sales stats for our ports.

And don't worry, my rank will also drop again, it does not keep going up all the time.

But I will keep posting up or down for my own accountability.

I am also not just sharing stats here but in several places. And from experience, the people that share have better growing sales, because it helps to be more focused in your research.

But nobody is forcing you to share. If you think your sales improve better without sharing stats, just do that.

eta

like i explained before, i have changed my strategy towards finding smaller niches and producing content that might sell 1-5 a YEAR, not monthly or weekly or daily.

so my sales are getting better spread out over my portfolio, but they are unlikely to become individual bestsellers.

But noone has to do that.

on the adobe discord is a 20 year old young man who in jan made 1300 dollars. he has been uploading ai since 18 months. he has a steady weekly rank of 500-700 but wants to get into the top 100. i am sure he will.

then there is the ai star who has a weekly rank around 200.

so i am quite slow compared to them. also on most days i still sell more camera than ai content.

I think you didn't understand what I said.

I never said that anyone can influence anything.

I say and confirm that you have greater visibility than mine,due maybe to the best-selling contents which have many more sales than mine.

How many times has your best seller sold?a thousand times?two thousand?more?

my best sellers have never sold so much on Adobe,in other agencies yes,I have contents that have sold thousands of times,but in the past not now,and so that's why maybe I have less visibility on Adobe.

so I repeat and confirm:"If you and I create the exact same content and upload it at the same time,and it gets approved at the same time, your content will outsell mine,even if our content is identical in every way".

this is due to your advantageous position,due to your greater visibility.

I'm not discussing the reasons for this,which can be many,but I'm saying what is obvious: "you have greater visibility"

and mine is a simple observation,which should sound more like a compliment,not a criticism!  :)

I have 3 files with more than 500 sales and one of them is over 1000.

The vast majority of my sales is 1-3 times, even files with more than 10 is a not a high number.

I don't have a "bestseller" port on adobe, unlike my port on istock.

But believe whatever you believe, I sincerly hope you get the sales volume you wish for.

Why should sales increase, just because of more images?

Your answer is "visibility"?

I wonder if the other possibility is, what are the images and what is the demand for those images? That's not just aimed at you, but all of us.

How do you measure visibility? Mine vs yours or mine vs anyone else? Or is that just an opinion of why, adding more images, doesn't make for more sales.
