Thanks for the info. Does sending images make sense or are they specialized in video mostly ?

How much do you get from 1 video download and from 1 image download ? Thousands of downloads that you report seem very positive.

I wasnt looking for advice, just genuinely curious about what you meant by monetizing stock videos on YouTube. Were you referring to creating content that teaches others 'how to make money with microstock', or did you mean publishing videos in the hopes of attracting a large audience?
May I ask you how do you imagine earning money on Youtube with stock video content ? 4

I just wanted to confirm a sudden drop in sales for long term high ranked contributors. In last two weeks I fell from about 150th place weekly to around 250th. Sales down from 200 a day to 140 a day.
Constant uploads, mix of real and AI. I have been at Adobe (Fotolia) since about 2008. Very discouraging, must have been some change in algorithm. 7

Thanks. While a few hundred isn't quite the few thousand I got last year, I still think it's fair for only last year uploads. And it's incomparable to those money-grabbers over at Shutterstock.

Adobe Stock / Re: What's your weekly ranking and how many images?« on: May 10, 2024, 02:49 »Around 20k including a few thousand AI generated added last year. A one-man business. 15 years or so. I keep uploading on regular basis but feeling more and more discouraged. The worst thing that may happen to you is when you are in weekly top sellers. Next week all you portfolio is copied x-times by AI prompters. 10

I am seeing a lot of people copying my image titles and generating AI images that are very similar to mine. They don't even bother to change even one characted in the title. 11

How can we add extra value in today's stock photography market?
Almost everything can now be created with AI, which is continuously improving. I'm trying to find a space for myself where there is that extra value for clients. I thought maybe an option would be PNGs on Adobe Stock, but that category is also oversaturated. I'm out of ideas... are we still needed? After all, anyone can generate any image just as well as those of us who are professionally involved in stock photography. 16

Create in a neverseenbefore way, index and submit 1,000 images a day, for the best-selling and most topical subjects. Don't forget to put "real photography" in descriptions. Connect to my neighbor's wi-fi to save my bandwidth to submit 1,000 images a day, in the best-selling and most topical subjects. Put a copy in my cloud. In a monthly basis, collect my earnings at microstockstock sites and do a transfert to my paypal account. Log on to forums and post miles of text to steal as much time as possible from competing readers. Don't forget to turn off the light after you've done all this.

I am sure it will be a monthly bonus. What we received now is too low to be a one time boost as Adobe paid us.

Adobe Stock / All weekly bestsellers are AI portfolios« on: October 10, 2023, 02:58 »
Wow, it seems like the weekly bestsellers page (in Photos) is now exclusively showcasing AI portfolios. This highlights the immense competition that traditional photographers have to face now. Where does this lead to ?

I believe about $1000 to be a fair price for 5 sets, not less.
