Adobe Stock / Re: What's your weekly ranking and how many images?

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.

Those are both lovely images and very good sales. Congratulations!

Not everyone wants to rebuild a full time stock income. In a different life I would probably enjoy the journey a lot more if I was doing stock more as a hobby.

I am sharing my results because I know many people are considering doing stock again more seriously and wondering if it is still possible to rise in ranks with the current flood of incoming content.

So I think it is encouraging that the Adobe system is very dynamic. Frustrating when it all drops back down of course, but once I have a port with 12k files it will be more stable.

Latest Shutterstock vertical videos have a HD size of 1078 x 1920 downsized from 4K, so they still haven't sorted things out.

My AS port is less than 2000 landscape/travel stills & can't compete with some of people here, but today was a nice surprise.  This is most likely same customer, interesting 2 downloads of same image within few seconds, first normal sub then probably something enhanced.   

Anyone interested, this is quite famous Mt. Robson and Berg Lake, one of most iconic back-country areas in Canadian Rockies

My images are more microstock but I did upload a ton of landscapes there. Unfortunately they sell about as well as landscapes do on microstock. I made $24 last year and $33 the year before. I paid for an account for two years but then my credit card number changed so they couldnt bill me again. They block you from uploading new images but dont take down any of your old photos, so Ill make another $25 this year.

Thank you for letting us know.

But why dont you report this, to get that account removed?

because agencies require the actual copyright holders to complain and send in proof.

if enough theft is proven the accounts get pulled.

which is why you keeping seeing criminal ports always being posted in stock groups.

Actually, you don't need to be the actual copyright owner to file complaints to remove them.  I've reported fraud accounts of somebody else's videos many times and got them removed from Adobe Stock and Shutterstock.  After you report them, they do their own investigation and remove fraud accounts.

How do you do that?

Give the contributor support the link to original clip/photo and fraud clip/photo.  Originals are the oldest.  All fraud stolen clips have newer item#.

I have my own website where I can sell prints and stuff. But thought that FAA does everything for you and you just sell
. Otherwise I could try advert my own portfolio to sell prints.

My experience is similar:  25 free images held for 5+ yrs with only one single digit sale.   I closed my account;  not worth IMHO

Yes, with 3,000 images that would fit well on on FFA it's well worth the $30 a year. I am below average on artsy images (mostly do background crap) and I've made a few sales that have paid for 20 years worth of membership.  I do agree if you can direct folks to your images on FAA that would be the ticket! I don't but I know others that do and they make much more money per year then me.
