Hey guys,
How's going?

I was looking for some discussions about this topic but haven't found any. So, let me try to start one.

I was browsing through my statistics and all that microstcok/bundle sites and thinking how our field has changed during last years. As a mostly shutterstock & creativemarket person I have to say that competition is getting more and more huge. We got unlimited subscription sites, vast graphic resource bundles and else. I mean, how many "doodle packages" customer needs before he stops buying? Especially when he can get thousands of them in a sale for 30bucks or so.  As a result, every upcomming creation gets harder and harder to sell. For example, my new products on CM sold only 4 or 5 times during last months. (2 years ago you'd get houndereds). Similar to the SH, new uploads performing really bad.

So, after all - based on my stats. In 2017 I made only 1k or 2k from all of my new illustrations, products, fonts... What made my salary was my old stock content - all of these images which build stong positions during years of succes. I mean, everything new I create won't do any good for me.

By math, I need around 400 new shutterstock illustrations each month to made my income. That's more than I'm able to make in 2years time.

Are you experiencing same? Do you have any solution how to keep up in 2018 and future years? What causes this trend?

Good luck,
Vitek
