Last week I had only $1 income, the lowest on couple of weeks, with around 4200 assets. I even noticed the review time takes way too long. They usually get it quicker
I have now 500 images in the queue. On other agencies these already have been approved.

last week I had the best week of the last 11 weeks,I'm not saying it was an exceptional week but OK,in DL numbers,Instead regarding earnings the week at the end of May was better.

you have 4200 contents,for how long?How long have you been a contributor on Adobe?you have AI only or even real content?

95% real photos. Been a contributor for 1 year now. Seems now I have passed 2 weeks into he queue for real images. Where these are approved in couple of days on shutterstock. Becoming really frustrating with Adobe.

Since you have only been a contributor for a year it is normal that you may have some off weeks.

Of course it also depends of what you have,but imo you are doing well,because you have uploaded more than 4000 contents during the first year,you will see that you will have many more sales in the next years because you have started well,the contents are still not ripe enough after one year,and your choice of more real content is better in my opinion.

being an AI producer means having at least 7-800 content approved per month,it's not easy and involves the fact that there is no time for anything else.

I see AI content more as an addiction to my port,but my real work is with real things.

Don't think about review times,keep producing,a couple of weeks or a month what difference does it make,while they approve, hundreds more have already been uploaded!  :D

I only have around 300 ai Images uploaded on my port, as a test. But at the moment I have 560 real photos in the queue. Half of them are nearly 3 weeks waiting to be approved.

I do have some video as well. But not have too much time to produce more.

Sales seems to be low as well for some reason.

I face the same situation. I used to have several downloads per day in recent months. It dropped to almost nothing starting last week just like that. So to me something must have changed in the Adobe algorithm how stock is searched and sell.

So far I have only 1 download this week. I often have a few 0 days every month, but this is worse than the last week of December or pretty much ever - although the week of Mar 25th was pretty bad too, maybe they were testing this version of the algo that week. >3300 photos, slow but steady uploads lately.

slow week for me too so far,but my sales numbers for this month seem to be better than the same day of last month,so nothing serious for the moment,even if the start of this week is really very slow.

zeljkok

As usual for me, several DLs every day,  all in 0.99 - 0.38 range.   1902 stills port, I upload 2-3 images / week on average.

I think it's all seasonal, depending on customer needs / port specifics, and not algorithm change.

I have some that were submitted months ago and still haven't been reviewed.  I assume they are deluged with, and possibly prioritizing, AL images and that has slowed down reviews for everyone.

I understand that it's not nice to have finished content waiting,but since you've already had 4200 content approved in a year I think you can now wait a month or so,I don't think it's anything serious.

You've only been a contributor on Adobe Stock for a year and you already have more than 4,000 content for sale,isn't that enough?  :)

you're doing it wrong, you just need one really good image that sells for $4000 instead of 4000 images that sell for $.98

Agree. But how I would know which one is the best without trying lots of images.

it's your first year,microstock is a marathon not a sprint.

anyway the point is that you have already had more than 4000 content approved in the first year,now even if you have to wait sometimes a month or two for review I don't think it makes much difference,your content will still be approved shortly.

I really hope. On other agencies already have been approved. And made some sales. It's really annoying. Maybe Matt can check it out.

That week I had about $200 in sales.  Around 12,000 images in portfolio.  Only $1/wk for 4,000 assets is pretty bad honestly.  If you can post your portfolio, I can give you an advice.  My portfolio is below.
