Something odd happened on the week of June 17th to me on here.

Prior to that it was growing every month and has done consistently. 
Suddenly on that June 17th week income dropped by 40% or so on the rolling average and has been fairly stable at that now low level every week since.
My download *numbers* have stayed pretty constant but the earnings have dropped significantly and instantly since that date.

(and yes, i am still uploading).

Oddly SS has been growing the last month or 2 which surprised me somewhat.

Yep, last month was about half of my peak, which was last November.

I sure hope you're doing well on Stocksy!

Oddly enough, I get a nice chunk of change from our partnership with Adobe.  I'm not hating on AS by any means.  I just wish every site would show some growth.

+1 AS/FT have been been a consistent and good earner for me... it's because of that consistency when things go bad like they have for the last 1-2 months, it makes it all the more obvious. They are/were my preferred agency and I do hope they turn things around. Yesterday, AS was one third of SS which was a rarity but is happening all to frequently now.

What I would say is that I do appreciate the likes of Dennis and Mat coming here and answering questions... it's a lot more than most/all agencies would do

Yep.  We call that "summer."

Happens every year. People take vacations. Companies decide what to for the coming Winter season.  Nothing unusual.

This is not a paycheck that remains the same whether you work or not, or whether the stuff you sell is wanted or not. It has seasonal variations, and the pipeline must be constantly fed to keep the material fresh.

Learn to live with it... or leave the hobby/business (getting harder and harder to really call it a business...)

Are you new in this business?

Adobe Stock is down for me right now . Anyone else ?

I may sound stupid, but how do we submit editorial to AS ?

We do not currently accept editorial footage on Adobe Stock, but I certainly hope that we will in the future.  I will certainly make a post here when we do!

Thanks,
Dennis

This, and nothing more.  Adobe Stock is growing and doing well.  There will be seasonality and depending on what your content focuses on, you will have good and bad months.  We're working all of the time to improve sales and the experience for all contributors.  If I could even out the seasonality, I would.... ;-)

These are really great to hear!

I'm experiencing the opposite situation. Even tho my portfolio is half editorials.

When did Adobe Stock start accepting editorial material?

I mean I don't have a lot of material in Adobe because I shoot mostly editorials.


Aaaan, it seems that Adobe is now accepting editorials (from today)

Just to clarify
Adobes accepting illustrative editorial from Emerald members for now

If you�re not Emerald you can apply if you have a good collection of illus ed

However, it is only images and at this point somewhat limited.  We do not accept editorial footage yet (which is what I'm primarily focused on!) ;-)
