I received it too. I tried to use the code but, of course, I was told it had already been used. So it's most likely a mistake.

 

I opted out for distribution sales a long time ago but I see these kinds of pathetic sales again. 
When I asked them (again) why they were still included they replied that it was probably "an error". Who believes them anymore! 


Hi Sebastian,
 
My colleague Sabine in our Distribution Team updated me about some distribution sales in your Alamy account which shouldn�t have happened. I�m very sorry about this, I believe there was a technical issue with our API which meant that these images became available to a distribution partner.
 
By way of apology, we would be willing to apply 100% on these distribution sales, so we�ll ask our finance team to recalculate and credit you for these sales.
 
Thanks,
Chantelle

And no, I didn't get that 100%. It's already been a month.
I had the same situation before..
They have become some downright embarrassing companies.
 




 

Thank you so much Cobalt and Wilm.
I think I will try in the first phase to make a new base of white isolated objects.
When I started last year with AI, everything was going well. But now sales have dropped drastically.
Anyway, my sales are down on pretty much all my sites. Lately I've been concentrating more on AI.

Thanks again for your suggestions!!!

Very disappointed...

13.10.2023 - 9.697 files (this week position) 2.890 / (life time position) 11.500
13.10.2024 - 11.817 files (this week position) 16.350 / (life time position) 10.200


And sales have also fallen continuously.

 

sorry to see that it�s happening to you.
Is it possible that you had several bestsellers that were featured somewhere and then taken down, to be replaced with newer content?

 I have no idea what is happening 
But I can definitely say that sales have dropped drastically. 

I seriously think something weird is going on..

 

That is indeed a very drastic drop. And you were uploading.

Has your niche been flooded with copycat files?

Or have your bestseller files many direct copies?

Hi Cobalt

Good question.
I'll do a little research and see what I find.
What I can say is that a few months ago I found many stolen pictures of mine. I reported those accounts and they were shut down.
I don't understand why Adobe doesn't check to see if the same image has been uploaded by someone else.

Anyway, the point is that we have to be very vigilant.
 

10$....

IS began to be a bad joke to me...

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.

In my case sales are also very poor, no matter how many pictures I upload or not. My rank has dropped a lot in the last weeks.

 

I too have a very sharp drop in rank. I don't know what's going on...
 

Not only rank but also sales have dropped sharply in recent weeks. Maybe just in my case... I don't know...

 

Hi,

I don't know what happened but in the last 10 - 14 days sales have dropped drastically. Is it just me? And my rank has fallen sharply..

 

Hi,

I also have the same problem now, two subscriptions.
This is the answer that I received it from the Adobe support:


I would like to inform you that would not be possible. The activation code you received is for a different Photography plan which will expire in one year


While the plan you had active is to paid monthly was a monthly plan hence extension is not possible that is why  a new plan was added

So my advice is to activate the code on the last day of your current subscription.

It would be great and appreciated

Yes, that's right!
