Adobe is alive and kicking! 
very strong recovery in the last 2 days,already 30% more compared to May 2023 regarding earnings,thanks to some good sales.
as regards my minimum value,which is linked to the number of sales,I haven't reached it yet,but it's still possible.
for me this is definitely a better week than the last 2 weeks.
Your recovery coincides with my sudden huge drop in sales the past 2 days. Hopefully this is just a temporary drop as without a good performing Adobe Stock I'd no longer have reason to continue actively contributing - to any stock agencies for that matter.

How's everyone else's week going?
My weekly ranking is not too bad but my sales numbers are way down this week.
Also just had an entire day (>24 hr) without one sale on Adobe Stock. I can't remember how long it's been when I last had a day without a sale on a week day.

So far this is my second-best overall month ever | best May ever | BME on Adobe Stock | BME on iStock (though it is April earnings).
Below chart is how earnings are looking for the four agencies I contribute to.
Back next week to report on the final results.

Nothing great to report on my weekly ranking but I'm already well into my BME on Adobe Stock and there's still another week remaining of the month.

For me SS is by far the best agency and the number of sales are constant.
Download numbers are quite good there but I see you have 10x more photos than mine and few less videos. How's the revenue-per-download going? That's where I've seen the biggest hit to earnings.

Somewhat comforting to see others experiencing similar rubbish results I am, though I also sell video but have just taken a more deeper look and noticed that I have only sold videos on 2 days in the last 12 days (and for garbage prices at that) and I usually sell videos more than every second day on average, even during quieter months. So something really wrong here.

this month so far on Adobe I have earned 650% more than on SS,but I haven't uploaded to SS since September 2023.
The Shutterstock is an embarrassment continues. I've earned 2.6 times in just 5 hours on Adobe Stock than I have in 10 days on Shutterstock.

Getting a Connection Timed Out error quite regularly. I figure sometimes it might be my internet connection but other times the connection is fine and all other sites load without delay. Anyone else getting connection timed out errors?

Just had a huge BME!
See if you can spot it.
RPD of $3.59 for video and stills combined.

Earnings comparison between Shutterstock and Adobe Stock:
WTD = Week-To-Date
MTD = Month-To-Date
These figures use to be in reverse several years ago which shows for my efforts how far Adobe has progressed compared to poor old beaten down washed-up Shutterstock.

Here's how my sales are looking so far in May. Shutterstock was showing promise in April and even at the beginning of May, but has since slowed considerably. Shuttertock assets are (at this moment) 2586 videos and 1776 still images, while Adobe is 2135 videos and 1066 still images. iStock not represented as payment is yet to arrive.

Very ordinary sales numbers this week yet seeing my best weekly ranking. Must be a slow week for everyone.

Couple of really good video sales earlier tonight...

Like I said in the other topic, had this image sale come in last night. Thought it was a video until I looked at the sales data...

... one even being a photo sale of $26.40! Don't know if I've ever had a photo sale that high on Adobe before.
That's an extended license royalty - congrats. They don't happen often any more and are often discounted - your customer paid at full price  $79.99 * 0.33 = $26.3967
Very interesting. Thanks for that info.

Sales recovered more at the end of the week. Had a couple of $26+ sales which helped to recover RPD, with one even being a photo sale of $26.40! Don't know if I've ever had a photo sale that high on Adobe before.

Can confirm a very slow week down in the southern hemisphere too.

Happy to report two events:
- Last month was my best April ever.
- My lifetime earnings crossed $400K
Awesome results both for April and lifetime earnings. Really great to hear mature ports can still achieve a BME.

I had quite a few 3-digit sales last year but none so far this year. Image below is the biggest single sale I had in September last year and in fact biggest single sale I've ever had on a video.

I am happy to report I have now crossed the quarter million dollar earnings threshold at Shutterstock.
That's an average of $27.06 per download.
That's an average of $23.80 per video in my portfolio.
The earnings just keep rolling in.
How many images you have in your Port?
hard to accept their questionable claim as a newbie without a portfolio, so w/o a link doesn't matter what numbers they post
and besides, i've made $666,000 so far with my NFT w more sales very day
Doug has been around for years and has over 9000 videos. Claims are legit. Port is easy to find with a search.

like many,I know you from the days of the SS forum,excellent work,congratulations!
I don't think anyone who starts producing videos and uploading them to SS today,will ever be able to achieve these results.
I seem to remember that until a few years ago you used to make over $30k in a year.
luckily there is Adobe,otherwise microstock would have no future!
No, I'm not making $30K per year at Shutterstock, but the earnings keep rolling in month after month with virtually no effort on my part. And quite a few newer clips that I've uploaded are making good money now. I have had a pretty busy last couple of years with regular work and have not had the time to upload very many new clips. I'm still out shooting regularly because I enjoy it, but doing the metadata is another story. I've got a backlog of about 5000 4K clips that are all edited and graded. Will I ever find time to do the metadata and get them earning some money for me? I don't know. Too busy with other work to even think about it right now. Metadata is the bane of my existence. It takes time to do it well, and if you don't take that time, then why upload at all? Without good metadata it is just a waste of time.
ok,I thought I remembered a post on the old shutterstock forum,where you showed that for the first time you had reached $30K in a year,but if you say no then I remember wrong,maybe it was someone else.
however you have achieved incredible results,but well deserved,the work you did was extraordinary.
Yes i agree,metadata is as important as the content itself,perhaps even more important in some cases.
so in proportion you are earning more on Adobe,given that on SS you have 3 times more videos,interesting,this shows that even with videos Adobe has now surpassed even Shutterstock.
You probably remember correctly as I recall that too. If I'm not mistaken, I think Doug's response above refers to more recent and current yearly earnings where he no longer makes 30k a year on Shutterstock like he use to.

Haven't posted charts of earnings for a while so hopefully folks will find this interesting and revive some discussion about our monthly results.
The charts represent January to April 2024 year-to-date earnings comparing previous years with the current year and comparing earnings by agency.
I had a BME on Adobe Stock in April and Adobe Stock has posted solid earnings each and every month for me so far this year - which is very encouraging because the agency demonstrates consistent sustainable earnings without the volatility of other agencies I contribute to.

Okay, I understand now. No, I doubt I will hit $250K lifetime earnings this year at Shutterstock. But in 2025 for sure. Shutterstock is slipping lately so probably won't make another $23K in 2024. Fortunately, Adobe is rising to take up the slack.
Yes Adobe is doing really well. Is Adobe earnings surpassing Shutterstock earnings on a monthly basis for you now?

Fantastic results though I see 227 would it be 250 to make quarter million?

I've uploaded quite a few videos over the past 12 months and some photos. My earnings increase April 2023 vs April 2024 on Adobe Stock is 120% and overall earnings increase April 2023 vs April 2024 for my four ports is 31%.
