First, you're not thinking globally and the agencies are (more or less) global in their sales. Friday in the US is Saturday in Australia for example. Generally, in my experience, Saturday in the US is the worst day of the 7 as it's a day off for most people that day.
I assume you're thinking about consumer uses of stock versus business uses, but I haven't seen any content differences, just volume ones. That's probably going to vary depending on portfolios.
But even if you could get an answer to this question, what use would it be?
Who are you to tell me that I'm not thinking globally? Do you know me? Do you know how much it's my effort in stock market photography? If you judged me by my portfolio, sorry to disappoint you but you are completely wrong about me!

I like your photos. Especially, because you have different themes: people, nature, buildings, sailings, emotions. But, maybe. if you see that these themes aren't sold well, you should try to change direction
Which direction you advice me?

Hi everyone,
I would like to know what kind of content to upload to Adobe Stock?
Thanks in advance.
Adobe has a very diverse customer base around the world. The need for content is equally diverse. Shoot what you are passionate about and that will likely stand out in your work. We post some calls for content on the Adobe Stock blog from time to time. Check out the archives and bookmark the page to keep up on future posts as well.

Happy Holidays!

In the 4 answers to my simple question, your answer was the most valuable. Thank you so much.

Hi there, I have around 500 images from January of 2017 and just to speak with numbers i`ve made about 100 sales so far. Do you think that my images don`t have editorial value or they are not well executed? Or just maybe the editorial stock is very saturated and I should start doing commercial photos? link of my portfolio: https://www.shutterstock.com/g/cicerocastroThanks in advance!

If you are ready to do the effort of promoting your portfolio (which I believe should be the work of the agency), there are much better platforms than FB and Twitter.
Which are the better platforms than FB and Twitter?
For images Instagram, Pinterest, PX 500, Fliker, may be camchat
Camchat? Seriously?! Don't cheat with me. I'm talking serious and maybe trying to help someone with the same doubt as I have but you are just joking so I will ignore your answers.

You are getting to the heart of the matter.
By the type of content that I put in EyeEm, what really is the best stock agency, EyeEm itself or another.
Answer that honestly still no one could tell me.
And once again, Stocksy? Artsy? Twenty20?
Honestly too, if it is real lifestyle that stock agencies seeks, then anyone can photograph themselves in their home, garden, park, city, etc. and thus does contain travel costs, stuff and staff and model releases.
Who agree with me?

Do you have a direct contract with getty images?
You cannot just sign up with them and upload, like with eyeem or alamy.
You need to apply and get accepted.
I applied and I was accepted by Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Istock, Getty Images, Alamy and EyeEm. So I can upload to the agencies that I said.
No, you cant. Anything you upload to Getty is exclusive, you cant send it anywhere else.
And with 23 images in your portfolio you wont make more than a few cents anywhere. And neither with 365 self portraits.
if portraits do not sell, then what does it sells in getty images?

I recommend Twenty20, they are in demand of "people" images, in natural light, i sold a good amount there, you get 2$.
I did not sell anything on eyeem, because only "stock style" images will be sent to partner sites like Getty and Alamy.
So, why they are selecting my pictures to the premium collection?
Even if Eyeem says ( your images are in the premium collection) it does not mean they are "all" sent to partner sites.
Did you check if your images are on Getty, Adobe,Alamy?
I have about 140 images in the premium collection, (update i sold 1 image to getty) 
Have you tried Twenty20?, i know there is only an iPhone app, but you can use the website.
Today I signed the Twenty20 and I uploaded some photos. Let's see what happens. I already tried to check if my images are on Getty but I couldn't  So I'm thinking to upload directly to Getty, Adobe and Alamy and to give up from EyeEm.

Whenever a site says "authentic" what they usually mean is people that look like models in carefully staged situations so that they aren't posed like models usually pose. Natural light means carefully crafted light so it doesn't look like artificial light. I've seen what authentic people look like - that usually isn't what they want.
If you can be a little ahead of the trends through skill or luck with whatever the hot look is though - you can do well.
I fully agree with you!
