Title: That's weird-Does this ever happen to you?
Post by: waitingonthestuff on November 16, 2023, 10:43
I was * along nicely on Adobestock selling  few a day here and there and generally doing better week on week and then yesterday it just.....stopped.

Has that ever happened to you? Only thing I have done differently is upload more images (I currently have over 300 sitting for approval) that couldn't affect it, could it?

Wouldn't be strange other than the fact the sales were rolling along nicely and now tumbleweed

Yes. I suspect (not sure), that periodically they just shuffle some of the images to give others a chance to see if they will sell.

Aside from there being certain seasonal trends, and competitors with new competing images/etc.

I haven't noticed it on Adobe, but on SS and IS a regular seller would suddenly stop when the search got changed.

It can happen on AS as well. A little change in algorithm - and you are out.

Yes. I use microstockr to check my sales according to sets/images etc.

Some images have a streak of selling 3-10 times per day, for a month. Then the next month, they get downloaded 2 times in total. So it's super obvious.
