That is just the holiday/spring break
You will move back up when they are back at work, I will fall down because the holiday is over.
But again, it shows how dynamic the system is.
There are people with 60 000 fies who have never seen anything near your current rank. You are doing exceptionally well.
Thank you!!

Just fell off the cliff. Fall from grace. I was at 1,030-1,080th till yesterday, but 50% down in a day. My haters must be celebrating. They are definitely entitled to it.

$216 with 79 images. Guess they also pull from videos, too?
That's insane if it's only for 79 images!! Shutterstock is working with NVIDIA. So they may be scanning videos too.

Got less than $40 for over 7,000 photos portfolio. Is this good or bad?

SS subscription is not correct. The subscription should cost $16-25 per month and the buyer should receive unlimited video downloads. In this case, the author's income increases.
Are you serious or joking? If you are serious, how will that increase contributors' income?

because as soon as you downgrade your content is visible again.
Where did you get that info?
From what I read before starting to use Midjourney,the stealth mode and the private server may be enough to hide your actions with Midjourney,but then some online research,I read that you also need to unpublish on the MIdjourney site,and maybe that's another reason too,that when you downgrade your content is visible again.
in any case I unpublish manually on the Midjourney site after each hour-long session.
I found the publish/unpublish on Midjourney.com archive page a few months ago and have been unpublishing everything. Midjourney.com archive page is much easier to navigate and download photos you generated/upscaled unlike doing that on Discord.

probably not bad for a 4200 file port, but I was hoping for much better spring sales.
need many more files. now upped my midjourney contract to 60 dollars to enable stealth mode. and hopefully that will push me to do more with midjourney to get better at using it. i still don't feel really comfortable but it does make much better people than stable.
also trying to do more with firefly.
now have prompting costs around 100 dollars a month. but longterm it should be worth it.
Just triple your content and you'll get near 1,000th. Not bad for 4,000 images.
Not really. Tripled/quadrupled/etc content does not necessarily correlate with increased sales. I.e., if you had 5,000 pictures of bananas, and went to 15,000 pictures of bananas, you probably wouldn't see an increase in sales, of course, unless, people went bananas for bananas...
How many photos do you have in your portfolio? I increased my portfolio by 70% in 6 months. And my downloads/revenue is up exactly by 70% now. So, if you know what you're doing and don't produce craps that don't sell, it can go up by what you add. Cobalt is a veteran and knows what she's doing. So, I expect her to produce contents that are equally productive in the future. Of course it always doesn't happen, but can happen. Growth can slow or accelerate as you add more contents in your portfolio.

In future I will now submit portraits only with the minimum resolution. The upscalers are currently still too poor for portraits. I will keep the originals in case better upscalers will come onto the market.
Other content such as still lifes (spa, flowers, animals, etc.) I will continue to upscale, which works quite well.
So, thank you for finetuning mine settings!
You are welcome!!

Very good! Congrats!
Thanks!!

But I may do 4x upscale if I find 2x uplcaled photos not selling well in the future.

Good job! How many times has your best AI photo sold? And are you seeing the majority of new sales from AI, or your previous/real life photography photos?
Thanks!! I think my conventional photos still sell more than AI photos per photos, but it took 10 years to get 6,000 photos in my port and took 6 months to get 4,000 AI photos in my port. So, AI photos are way more efficient as business.

Left side is the Midjourney's own 2x upscale. Right side is additional 2x upscale on GigaPixel AI.
The biggest problem is the hairline that looks unnatural. Looks better left blur without additional 2x upscale on GigaPixel AI. Sometimes, facial feature looks too defined unnaturally too. So, I think I'll just upload 2x Midjourny upscale for anything with face. If no face, I'll do additional 2x upscale on GigaPixel AI to get more resolution.

Just had a huge day today. On it's way to BWE for photos on Adobe Stock. Thank you for your support!!
Was wondering how many photos you have on your port. For me if I sell a file a week, I'm lucky.
I have about 10,400 photos right now. About 4,200 are AI generated. How many do you have? Less than 10?
No man, around 2600 images and 500 videos. Probably because I have started recently.
If you only have 1 sale per week for 2,600 images, you aren't producing the right kind of images. Beautiful image that nobody need won't sell. You got to focus on market research. Otherwise you'll be wasting time and will be massively disappointed and exhausted.
These videos may help you get a better idea.

Thanks for the links. I usually produce landscapes or aerial photos and videos.
Landscapes can be very saturated already especially famous places. I haven't had good results either. Those can be the beautiful images that don't sell because of supply/demand balance.
Some drone landscape images do sell good. Sold some couple of times. Everything with the camera, is not really good with sales for some reason.
Drone videos sell well too. If I'm allowed to fly drones anywhere, I'll be focusing on that too.

Not gonna lie, that's pretty bad. I have currently a port of approx 700 AI images and weekly up to 10 sales, which is also pretty bad.
I have added in the beginning much crappy stuff, which I now sort out and upload new better content.
I was thinking, that's because maybe I have started last year, and don't have enough views. Or something like this.
What I would do is to keyword search for similar images you have uploaded and sort by "Download" to see what's the difference between your image and the ones selling the most. I don't think it has anything to do with you started last year. That's too optimistic.
