I finally decided to start with AI Generated images. I read a few articles, watch a few video and so far the process looks simple
1) Generate image with Midjourney. It look like it's the best generator now
2) Upscale with Topaz Gigapixel AI or Topaz Photo AI. Which one is better?
3) Create description, upload
4) Profit!

strange is that now that you have decided to start with AI I have decided to stop with AI! :D
...
I am more focused on doubling my "real" video library by the end of the month,and in general I'm more focused on "real" content.

I didn't sell even one of the last 115 AI images I made,which have been on sale for about a couple of months,in December instead I had about twenty for sale and I sold 3 of them.
anyway it's ok maybe they will sell later,frankly I'm realizing that this AI content is a flash in the pan.
the fact remains that in any case it is better to try to do everything,at the moment however I am more focused on doubling my "real" video library by the end of the month,and in general I'm more focused on "real" content.

Unfortunately this volume of images would be profitable 15 years back. Today you need put two more digits like 11500 images in order to make some sales conclusions. This days we need volume and quality(and diversity), not just quality like in the golden days. Talking about AI images you even have to multiply it by three.

I like a your profile image ( a dime $.10) because that is what what we get from Shutter all the time lol! Good luck and may the force be with you.

no you won't. your images are not living alone, they are in a sea of millions of other very similar files you are competing with.
even if you get lucky and you actually have a file that sells well and makes its way to page one of a search term...you will get instant copies by other "inspired" artists.
with ai it is extremely easy to copy not just ideas, but the actual composition, you can choose simlar models, styling, locations.
ai is a great tool, but the easy gold rush is over.
now you need to work with complex prompts to make it less easy to copy.
so when you create content and get something you really like...please check if the exact same image has not already been uploaded 2000 times...
if you work hard and have a few thousand files you can build a regular income. but it will take 2-3 years to become intersting.
you also need to do normal photos and videos, to get income from the agencies who do not take ai.

How much AI can you jam onto the market, before there's just too much? Individual and unique, useful images, will always be more valuable than many, many, of the S.O.S. The more I look at AI, the more it looks the same and similar to all the rest of the AI images. It has a look, style and appearance, that's what AI looks like. The look is becoming that's had it's time and will be like all the rest, eventually.

but that applies to other stock as well, with at least an order of magnitude more images to compete against... plus ca change...
I have upload more than 100000 AI files to adobe stock. And I have developed some tools to help me to get it.
Such as
keywording automatically.
upscaling automatically.
remove the background automatically.
Upload automatically.
SO if you have some questions, You can ask me.

Ok, I'll bite.
How do you remove the background automatically to produce good pngs?
I always have to refine every single file, so I find producing pngs quite tedious.
Do you have a good acceptance rate (over 90%)?
Because uploading many files just to have them declined is not very efficient.
Are you having good sales with your port?
50 dollars a week, 500 a week, 5000??? - just a sample range would be interesting for many I am sure.
100k files is what many people dream to have over a lifetime.
You are already there after 18 months.

Yes, there is a question.
Why do you only speak about quantity?
Success in microstock is a good mix between quality and quantity, and this is a well known rule for any contributor.
Speaking only about quantity is not good way. 100K images... images of what? you have to find what to create. Or you could produce 100k similar files, that is a nonsense.
A good and quick workflow is for sure a good idea, but in terms of revenue it has 50% of weight.
So why do you speak about quantity only?
As someone else already told, there are a lot of contributors that do same or better results with 1/20, or maybe 1/50 of that numbers
Thank you for responding.
We obviously have different strategies, but maybe my workstyle is for the old days.
Don't know if it is still true today, but some agencies have an "efficiency" factor. I.e. if you have a small port with a very good sales rate, your port gets promoted much better by the algos than a port with a very high fluff factor, or just dead files that don't sell.
So in addition to wanting to have a high acceptance rate, I hope my port does not have too much "fluff".
That is a lot easier to in themes that I understand well and much more difficult in genres where I am new, especially illustrations.
But since you are uploading such a very high volume and probably also very diverse content, not just abstract background waves...you can obviously make it work for you.
I keep trying to upload a higher volume, but I really, really struggle with that.
I have thousands of files that are ok, but not stellar, but need little processing.
Will try to upload them in a larger batch at some point, but perhaps not to Adobe, to keep Adobe as my prime port for ai.
Best of your luck with your journey, you already have more files than I will ever have on Adobe in my entire life.
The first of all, everyone who use Midjourney, could get images with THE SAME QUALITY.
WHY I produce 100k simlilar files?
I produce 4 images in one prompt. I don’t use any repeated prompts unless the images are really good at selling.
When you have more than 100000 or 200000 or more ai images, WHAT TO CREATE is meaningless. I CREATE EVERY THING.

Well, yes, not only you but everyone can create anything, this is no more a breaking news, it's more than one year that Midjourney is on its way.
And in one year we saw boith traditional photography and AI images that sells well.
So I'm not agree with you, what you're talking aboout is quite overtaked... There are actually billions of AI images in Adobestock and, you guess, traditional photography is still selling.
Sorry but I'm not agree with you, you seems to be a little outdated. Actually the best sellers are quality images not quantity, as quantity is something that anyone can have access to.
My opinion, of course
Therefore, what I can do is to make more money by producing a large number of pictures before the business completely disappears and before customers completely abandon the stock images industry. Maybe you will say that there will be high-end customers who choose high-end contributors, but why don't high-end customers pay for commercial customization services? Who of us can say that we are high-end enough to avoid being eliminated?

My opinion, of course
One BIG thing is... people should be focusing on getting midjourney to pay authors RETROACTIVELY for the STOLEN works they made their tool based on, as well as set up a system for RECURRING PERPETUAL works going forward. discuss that. that is effective.

I agree with you but unfortunately this will never happen.
regarding AI content,quantity is certainly the winning strategy.
better to generate many more than you need and then carefully select the best ones,rather than waste too much time in postproduction.
I have recently developed a new system in postproduction,which allows me to speed up my work considerably,whilst maintaining an excellent standard of quality.
It took me several tries and several steps before I achieved this strategy,but it works,my approval rate is very high,and the content is of excellent quality,but above all I can go much faster now. :)
