I have been uploading videos to stock sites for over 10 years. And I am open to new offers that bring a stable income. The answer to your questions is here, this is already a statistic that has been around for several years.

What statistic?

I have also been on the stock sites for over ten years. I make a six figure income and am well into 7 figures overall. The last two years have been my best in terms of earnings. What's your point?

I think that many contributors experience shows that we are in the down part of that curve.

If you are at the bottom, then the income will be maximum. This is if we talk about the current market situation. Not many people are lucky enough to be at the bottom of the curve, only those whose videos are sold on sites like Storyblocks, Elements and the like. So for you to understand, you still need to earn your video to be sold for a penny.
Such realities.

The gains are also very short term as there isn't a bottomless number of buyers. The first few people to sell their work for pennies rake it in for a short time on these sites until enough people join dilute the earnings pool. In the case of Freepik, for example, the contributor then realises giving work to people who don't think it has value also has additional drawbacks...

This can be said about any stock. Competition is everywhere. Stock sites are also attracting more and more buyers. Like Adobe in this thread. As the practice of recent years has shown, the income on subscription sites does not decrease for authors, if they work, of course.

Ranking stocks by income.
Do you have more than $100,000 per month?
Why are you wasting your time on this forum then. Everyone has their own income and their own strategy for increasing it.

When people say "income" they usually mean yearly

Justanotherphotographer, so write right away that you have stocks and more than 100 thousand dollars a year and no one will argue with you. I don't think there are many people on this forum with that kind of income. But the rest have to earn some money. Not everyone here is in the professional league.

And this is a very good reason for listening to him, and to profs in general, instead listening to low earners suggestions and tips.
(... Assuming everyone would like to grow up and not to kill his own market... sometimes it seems the opposite....)

derby, Everyone has their own limit of possibilities, desires and needs. In big business, there are big expenses, and how much money remains clean in the end is still a question. It's just that in all these conversations, one must immediately draw a line about who these conversations concern and who they do not concern. The approaches of people with different income levels will be radically different. If I had 100 thousand a year, I would not twitch either.
Although I know a stocker who, with such an income, is happy to sell his video on subscription stocks too.

That's the most dumb reply. If someone makes six fig earning, one should appreciate his guts to come out and tell the positive side when everyone talks about the negative.
And he is not wasting his time on this forum, Forum is for everyone.

I concur... the forum is to get hints and tips, give hints and tips, keep abreast of the latest news and happenings in the world of stock, have the occasional argument, share the best recipes for homemade doner kebabs etc etc. It doesn't all suddenly become pointless at a certain dollar amount.

If that's true? Anonymous can make up anything he wants. He's in Indonesia and 0.0053 Indian Rupee to a pound. 6 figures doesn't include the 2 to the right of the decimal point.

If he is and do you believe anything that anyone says. I'm the ruler of a small country, you need to listen to me and believe.

There is something called reliability in an anonymous internet forum.
Justanotherphotographer is here from years, he wrote a lot of posts and did many good comments; at the end, I don't see any reason at all not to trust him.
By the way, everyone can take his own conclusions and decide who is trustworthy and who's not

It doesn't matter if he's lying or telling the truth. The only question is the amount of income and at what amount you can not participate in new programs and not take risks. This is what I wrote about. The strategy of each is based only on the amount of income that he has. Therefore, there will always be different points of view.

So do we know when will the results come out?

Thank you Mat.

I have thousands of video files on adobe stock but I haven't received any email and I saw just moments ago that nominations are over.
I received the nomination for the free photo collection in the last two years and I don't know if I have received any nomination for the free video collection.
Even for the photo collection I did not receive any email, and I just happened to see on my dashboard that I had been nominated. I never go to the dashboard and I always have the daily earnings page open. I would like to know if I have been nominated for video collection and especially in the future would it be better to receive emails for these communications. Otherwise, as in this case, you run the risk of missing an opportunity.
Please, Mat Hayward, how can I check this? Thanks

jovannig, only by reading this forum could you get this information. The train has already left and you are late.

You need to make sure you are opted in to receive marketing emails at Adobe. We did send out emails to contributors with files eligible for nomination, you might find it in your spam folder.

The window to nominate has been closed so unfortunately, if you didn't nominate during that window, we won't be able to consider your files this round.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward

Thanks Mat.
I went to my profile settings and changed the option.
However I did not receive any email from you regarding the nomination, neither now nor in June for photo nomination.
I usually receive an email per day from Adobe, regarding the daily earnings. I also checked in the spam folder but I don't have any email from you.
It's a shame because I definitely would have joined the proposal.

Do you mean the activation of these items? Or something else? I have these 2 items activated, but I also did not receive letters from adobe about the start of the program.

1. Where can I see which videos have been selected?
2. Is that all, or will you also choose next month? How many more months will the selection last?

To see the approved files, visit the Dashboard section of the contributor portal. Click the button that says "filter by price tier." Select "Free" and then filter by video if you have multiple asset types approved.

I do not anticipate more selections being made this round.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward
