Some irony here with this video on stock photography is now your most popular video. I started Stock in 2019 and early pivoted my focus to video as it pays much more (generally). Port size on Adobe is 212 illustrations, 892 photos and 2269 videos. I've made $5,462 so far this year on Adobe and $10,865 combined on the four agencies I contribute to. 👌
Nice! That's solid income - I would agree video is definitely more lucrative, but I am concerned AI is making advances quickly in realistic video generation, which may soon also impact contributors.
I honestly don't know, I made my portfolio 6 months ago, so far I have 4,300 approved pictures and I've earned about 550 dollars, I have about 800 downloads, in general I don't know what people complicate, all my pictures are made by AI and every day I edit and keywork 40 pictures that's my daily norm, for the first 3 months I worked weakly and slowly, but since I decided that I'm completely into it, I'm putting out about 1600 pictures a month, every month the earnings increase and I have 7-10 dollars a day for 4300 pictures right now. As for the topics that people are looking for, I don't even know about that, I've never analyzed or thought about it, I just throw out and make various things, because I assume that you will too images reach the the auddiance.There's no need to think too much about it, this is nothing complicated. Just persistence will pay off, and I'm convinced that there is an algorithm, my advice to everyone is to publish at least 15 images every day, maybe this is just a theory, but Adobe seems to have some algorithm, where if you publish them every day, they put you in inactive mode and your images are not easily accessible, this is just my theory and nothing more, but I've confirmed it many times when I publish them every day, suddenly my earnings jump, I take a break for more than three days, they drop completely. It's just a theory, but I'm sure there's something serious there
Hi thank you for sharing on how you sell AI images! I’m quire curious as I never used AI to sell images but what kind of program do you use and do you think it’s still worth it to start now?😊
Радун Раденовић do you recommend daily upload or should we have to upload after some days gap? i can't understand your advice, On one side you said uploads everyday at-least 15 images , and other side you say adobe puts you inactive state if uploads daily😳😳 , kindly clear and thanks for sharing your experience.
@@TaiwanVisuals honestly it's deppend because job as job are not complicated but its rlly boring sometime, and salary its not super big, i use midyourney its never late to start, but it requires lot of work
@@epicfunland-f9t Sorry my english its not good, if you upload daily that is very better, if you don't adobe secretly punish you, that don't exist in general, but i am 100 procent sure that algorithm push active contributors.
hey great information, thanx for the details i have 3000 images started 2 and half months ago but i have only 22 downloads. i stopped uploading and now i just make sets of pictures ready to upload. i also noticed that there are less donwloads when i don t upload. i m hopibg that my numbers will go up in time. i use comfyui localy for assets.if you want exchange knowledge dm me.
i just started a week ago and got like 500 accepted Ai generated images. i would like to know how would it be if i keep doing it everyday. because my salary here in Indonesia is just 200 bucks a month
I'm one of those trying just using ai images. I've made half of what you have with only 2000 images in total. I have been too busy to upload new ones since Jan, but have had some great weeks recently, up to 60 usd, however the past couple of weeks its slowed. I do wonder if the frequency you upload affects how much the algorythm feeds our images to buyers. Not sure which of us is doing something right or wrong.
Please reply! Should I go with a specific category on adobe stock or should i go with multiple. I'm really good at photography. Please I want to start selling images!
Hey trace , very good video ! I was wondering if I can help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and make Highly Engaging Thumbnails which will help your videos to get more views and engagement . Please let me know what do you think ?
thanks for the insights, im on adobe now a bit over a month, 1500 active ai images with 11 downloads, im motivated to get numbers like you^^ the most time consuming thing is the tagging in my case, i try to get as many keywords as possible but that slows it so down and some images takes forever^^ i see u used only 10 keywords in ur image :o is it enough to take less keywords?
@@alicefournier4665 hmmm 500 download per month is really much with 1500 images :o i'm doing "every" topic or niche what ever u wanna call it, some backgrounds, people in general, landscapes and stuff like that, i think my images looks good^^ and they have some varety in it idk
I think at the end of the day, because AI is so easy to do now, more and more people will continue to blast these sites with bulk uploads of repetitive content. Keywords help, but it's extremely tedious and I fear as more people upload, we'll continue to get lost in the mix
@@tracerouda The real issue is people like this guy, saying he uploaded 1500 images in one month while it took me near a year of carefully selecting and editing the images. Spammers are the issues. But they dont get much money either so idk why they do it. with 1500 images you should be making already hundreds of downloads per month.
hello sir i upload 501 photos on adobe stock 3 months ago but still all photos are in review they didn't approve or reject please let me know what to do now any soultion
Same they stopped accepting mine 3 days ago and they just sat in “in review” so I deleted 500 images since they weren’t accepting them right away like they were- not sure what I might have done wrong
For users in Brazil, what is the withdrawal method like? I have some accounts there and i remember they only accept Paypal metod and Paypal doesn't link to my account when I withdraw the funds
I started adobe Stock Contributor 2 months ago- I’ve uploaded 5,300 ai accepted images but lately past few days they have stopped accepting mine right away like they were. Im concerned because I’m about to step it up and add much more… but I got to 500 in review and after that 2 or 3 days later they have stalled on accepting them. I dont have any videos yet contemplating subscribing to Pika to remove that watermark on the Discord server. Anyways thank you for your video I’m only at 51 downloads but I think it will take more time- as I keep getting more downloads every day.
in 2 month 5300 images , means if you Don't sleep/eat/Toilet and work 24hr a day for 2 month , then its would take apporx 16 min per image for 5300 ( including generating +upscale + artifact Edit + uploading + keywording) Which is in one line impossible , so you are a spammer
@@coinwiser I created software that generates AI images several hundred per day on one middle PC for different prompts, with high-quality upscaling and automatic generation of high-quality tags and titles. The only human task now is to check (sort, removing the worst) the images before uploading (publication occurs automatically). And you know what? AI images are accepted at 3000 within an hour after uploading to one account (but after high-quality AI images on the same topic were previously uploaded). And it's amazing how fast - there is apparently no control on Adobe Stock. Look at the statistics of images on Adobe Stock. Over the last 10 days, 24 MILLION images have been published, this is a colossal number, this is madness. And probably not only my software creates hundreds of pieces of content, but many large companies and programmers do this. 🤐
If I was a betting man.... my guess is AI gets washed out with too many submissions, as well as Adobe's own AI generators, and there's little money to be made in it in the future unfortunately (for AI submittals specifically).
@@tracerouda Yes, it will soon be difficult to make money on AI images, as well as for other content makers. AI images are cheaper to produce, so there will be fewer opportunities to make money on them due to huge competition. But AI images will mainly cover the market where people are willing to pay a low fee for images - and this is the peculiarity of AI images - they will occupy the market that expensive content makers (photographers, illustrators, video makers) have not paid attention to before. But one way or another, AI images will take over part of the income from other content makers. Because they can perform the same function (create the same content) as most content makers for a very small price. You can always make money on AI images. But the problem is different - if you can make money on generating AI images just like on photographs, then why doesn't Adobe just always generate images for the client (or fill its database with its own AI images) so as not to pay money to the authors? Most likely, Adobe is very actively doing this now. In the future, most likely, some very strict restriction on AI content from Adobe will be introduced (so that bot systems are not created that mindlessly download any garbage), but Adobe is unlikely to completely ban AI from publication on the site. And people will earn more on real photos for the simple reason that people will more often choose real photos than artificial ones. But until the relevant content runs out during the search and you have to search in the AI content section.
Hey Trace, love your real estate videos! I’m a video editor and could help make your content even more engaging. What’s the best way to connect? Maybe via email?
