A little late, but the YT algo finally showed me your channel. I've been searching for a channel like this. Great video. Signed up for your newsletter.
nice sir, your video help me a lot ❤❤
WOW..nice one man!
thank u for sharing these info. best of luck!
Thank you for the comment and for watching!
Also can you teach me how to decide titles and select best keywords for good seo score?
Your videos inspired me much. Thank you. I already selling on adobe stocks and want to know how many content i have to upload to get earning ratio like you :), May i know how many content you upload daily and how much uploaded till now?
you are so helpful, I am learning design in college and have some skillset where im not sure what can i do, selling stocks images seems to be a really good place for me to put my skill into practice, thanks for all the valuable information provided!
Thanks for the reply, and I'm glad you find my videos helpful. Great luck in your studies, and I hope microstock can provide some passive side income to help you as you establish your career. I would advise you to never think of microstock as something you could do full time. There is so much outside of our control such as rising competition and agencies deciding to lower our commissions to improve their own bottom line. But if you have an extra hour or two a day and want to practice your skills, it could be a good exercise for you. Not only for your artistic skills, but to learn marketing as well -- determining what a customer's needs are and trying to meet them in ways that are unique. Building that marketing mindset should help you in whatever you decide to do in life. Best of luck!
Thanks for sharing!
from which platform you generate images. I am also a new adobe stock contributor please answer me I'll be very thankful to you. waiting for your reply please
Thank you! Impressed
I appreciate the feedback!
Thank you for the video you made, very impressive. My sales of Adobe Stock are very bad, maybe because I don't know what theme to make.
Hi there. Thanks for watching and for the comments. As for what themes to make, check out some of my other videos that cover the themes that I find to be hot sellers these days. Can you cover any of those? Best of luck!
Can I post ancient temples, monesty, hotels and old sculptures pictures on stock without property released form for Comercial purposes??
wow i love your video😊
Plz tell me how start it ?
thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Hey, could you provide the rest of the meaningful topics that were on that list? Or what other topics do you think are good for creating graphics now? I really love your work and achievements, and I'll be watching your channel! I would be grateful for your help!
Hi, and thanks for the feedback! I try to keep my videos short and sweet, so I put additional detail into my newsletter I created which can go more in depth. If you follow this link, you should be able to see the current issue that includes the full list. microstocklife.beehiiv.com/subscribe
I’m curious if you’re creating a lot of these in AI or canva. Example. The check or the time clock. They look like animation
The sales I get each month are based on 16 years of output so the vast majority are not ai. I don't submit anything created in canva. I do have a portfolio of pngs at canva though. Most my sales overall are illustrations and animations created in rendering sorftware. AI images are a very small percentage of my portfolio.
Nice video. Thank you :)
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback!
How would you price it?
How do i upload bulk files
Thank you for this great video and sharing your experience and numbers. Much appreciated! Do you need to do any marketing to get these sorts of sales? Or is it just that you can upload your work and it sells by itself? Thanks so much!
Hi. Thanks for watching. No, I have never done any marketing (advertising, social media, etc). It's all about creating what customers want and letting them find you in searches at the agency. Creating in demand content and being strategic about titling and keywording. Best of luck!
Thank you!@@MicrostockLife
Thank u for sharing this info.
Would you recommend I use my "Fine Art" collection to stock? I'm unsure and honestly scared it would just devalue the fine art shots I got from any fine art sales from any buyer if its plastered all over.
Hi, thanks for the question. This is a tough one. I think it would depend on the amount of existing revenue you're risking. Ultimately, I think the customers for fine art are totally different than the customers for stock. There's certainly a chance that potential fine art customers may notice they can get the same image for $1 on a stock site and get it there instead. But if that's the case, it must mean you're getting significant visibility on the stock sites and the amount you're earning from stock customers might eclipse the fine art revenue. Without knowing the numbers, I couldn't give a more definitive answer. I hope this helps! Best of luck to you!
wow you have 30,030 images, currently I only have 5500 images with an average income of 200$ per month, hopefully I can be like you one day. Thank you for giving encouragement and motivation sir
Hi its been 2 and half months since i upload my ai images on adobe stock by they are still in the review portion ? Do you know what might be the problem .
Yes, volume. They have too many to review, and it seems they require more attention than the typical image. We have all seen examples of too many fingers, brand logos sneaking into the background, and established artists' styles being copied either intentionally or not (and sometimes specified in the keywords or title which is a big no no). It sounds like a nightmare that will get worse before it gets better.
hello thanks for the information. should I use watermark to my photo?
Hi. The agencies place watermark on your images automatically. You should not do so yourself.
@@MicrostockLife okay thank you sm
Sir, please answer
Which we are nominated for free collections, that the bonus we received in adobe stock.
Or this firefly is other thing?
We can received extra earning for nominated previous month.
Plz reply really helpful
Hi. The bonus we received on Sept 13 was the Firefly AI training bonus. My understanding is that the Free Collection payouts may come on or around Sept 23.
I am a newbie, after 50 items in adpub stock for 1 month, we have to wait for our account to be verified? To reject or approve our works? If our works are approved, will the upload limit be removed? And even if we don't want to, can we upload it?
Hi, thanks for watching and for the comment. I understand it can be frustrating to wait for Adobe to review your account and your work. When Adobe began allowing AI, this opened the floodgates and all its normal processes were impacted. As for the upload limits, those are based by contributor and I don't know if and when Adobe will adjust your upload limit. I hear the limits are more strictly imposed when the review queues are very long. Hoping for it to improve for you soon. Best of luck!
How you generate your images?? Like isolated brain and isolated ear
Hi, I use a range of methods to create my images. I think the isolated brain and ear you saw in the video were from other contributors -- I was displaying pages from Adobe's general search results. For my images I use a combination of photos I have taken, 3d renderings, and Photoshop work. Best of luck!
please make tutorial to riset keyword and niche high selling in adobe stock
Hello! I do have advice on keywording in my other videos (see the microstock course I uploaded a month ago) and I am always talking about high commercial value topics that would make great niches. In my latest video I talk about how it's a great idea to combine multiple high-selling themes in one to create some poweful niches. Best of luck!
nice video
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
Thank you for sharing. Do you mind if I ask you about how did you know what topic is a high demand. I try over 2 years, looking for new topic, but my earn is never reach 500us.
Hi, I've covered this in some of my other videos here. And I also cover it extensively in my new two-hour course. www.udemy.com/course/sell-stock-photography-footage-ai-images-beginner-course Use code MICROSTOCKLIFE to take the course for free. And if you like it, please let me know by leaving a review on Udemy. Best of luck to you!
Thank you very much. actually just buy your course and learned all yesterday. very great course. shot, but powerful content. @@MicrostockLife
How many images/ designs have you uploaded on your adobe account?? Nice video..!!
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I have about 22000 images and 6500 videos. Best of luck!
and how many designs did you have in your account when you compared your income 12 months ago?@@MicrostockLife
Can you made video about contributor firefly by adobestock? I guess thats new income for contributor? But still dont know where its come from. Sorry, I hope you understand my bad english 😅
Hi... yes I think that would be a good topic. In the meantime check this out about the big bonus we got today...helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/firefly-faq-for-adobe-stock-contributors.html
There is any way to sale to sale AI iamge on sutterstock?
No they do not accept it.
Hi, I have a question. I recently moved to Canada and would like to know if I need to report my photo stock income somewhere? How? Next year in the tax return? how to specify it?
Hello, I would never pretend to be a tax expert, especially one in Canada (I live in the US). I know in the US, I must report my microstock earnings as taxable income. The first year I reported, I had to pay a sizable amount on my tax return I filed in April, and then I had to pay estimated taxes on earnings every quarter after that (due April 15, June 15, Sept 15, and Jan 15 -- or the Monday after the 15th if it falls on a weekend). It's calculated on how much you had to pay the prior year in taxes, so if you know your earnings will grow significantly, you should increase your estimated tax payments accordingly. Not sure if Canada has this type of system or not, so my best advice would be to seek the advice of a good accountant to be safe. Best of luck!
@@MicrostockLife thank you!
Please let me know how to make pictures of different contents, that too ?of 4 megapixels and no copyright
You can do photography, vector or 3d illustration, video footage or generative ai. Have you tried any of these?
I used generative AI but it didn't work.
Should I take pictures myself with my camera and phone. But there is nothing around me that I can capture. It's not that I'm not fond of photography, but I have a craze for it. But I want to make pictures myself with the help of AI. No, no, any other tool can work.
How much can a person who has just started uploading 200 photos earn per month?
Hi and thanks for the question. It all depends on how in-demand your content is. If there's no demand you will make $0, and if there's high demand you could earn hundreds of dollars. (I almost wrote thousands but even extremely high demand content sometimes has a hard time breaking through the immense competition these days.) I have about 22,000 images online and I averaged between 5 to 8 thousand a month this year (that's Adobe plus all the other agencies). Best of luck to you!
can I sell the scenery photos on stock website like nature mountains houses, and like switzerland scenery photography this type of things can generate the good income please answer?
Hi, thanks for watching and for the question. Scenery photos are typically not big sellers on the stock websites, because there is a high volume of them and lower demand than other hot business-related topics. However, there can be exceptions, especially if the photos are from an area of the world where there hasn't been much photography, and if it is an up-and-coming destination for travel. Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much for your answers so i was watching the top search keywords in shutterstock so there was mentions "nature" basically I want to target the nature photos like mountains tree beautiful places around the world any country city side so it will be excepitional ? please answer@@MicrostockLife
Hi, what other agencies apart from adobe stock do you use?
Hi. I cover this in other videos. I have one video devoted to this topic. Aside from Adobe I submit to shutterstock, storyblocks, Deposit and occasionally Dreamstime.
I’m very worried about that…About 3 months I can’t generate any image or vector for my adobe stock earning…😢
Sorry to hear that. What methods are you trying?
@@MicrostockLife I have seen some of your videos in which you said that we should start with simple images first like an apple or some other simple thing, so I did the same but Adobe Stock Contributor is not approving my images. Now I don't know where I am doing wrong.
How much time you spent for grow account like this?
Hi. I have been doing this for nearly 16 years.
nice job my friend i also seller
Thanks for watching and for the comment! I hope you're doing well at the agencies, and keep watching for more tips and information that I hope will be helpful for you.
thank you sir for sharing. sir i want to earn monthly atleast 100 dollars .i need money but i dont know how to work.i made 25 dollar after many months.since i joined adobe stock.but i donf have expensive cameras i made only wallpaper in photoshop.i want to ask can i earn money with abstract footage?
Hi. Thank you for watching. Abstract backgrounds are tough because there is so much competition. You should focus on specific topics that people search. For example, diversity. Could you create a pattern background of people with different skin colors? Then your background is very specific to a high selling topic and should see more downloads. Best of luck!
@@MicrostockLife thanks alot sir for your response. at this stage i can make seamless floral pattern. and i am at learning stage in graphic desiging.i can not draw illustrations which inclue people.
Where are you take these pictures from…???
Hello, my work is from a variety of sources, a small amount of photography taken in and around my home, but primarily my work is more illustration, such as 3d renderings. Best of luck to you!
Hello sir which kind of video most sell plz tell me and how much portfolio of video should be for good earning of video
Hi. I have several videos that go over high selling themes. I do a lot of 3d animated videos on business concepts. I hope that helps!
@@MicrostockLife and how much large portfolio should be of videos?
For good earning
How to find the theme?
Hi, there are a number of ways I find and test themes to see if they are in demand with customers. I do searches at Adobe and filter results by most downloaded, I stay updated on new trends and technologies by reading online sources, and I carefully track my data to see what is performing the best and then gradually expand on those topics to find subtopics that also perform well. I cover this in more depth in a course I currently have on Udemy, if you are interested in learning more: www.udemy.com/course/sell-stock-photography-footage-ai-images-beginner-course/?couponCode=MICROSTOCK-70
Have you face any issue today submitting images at Adobe stock and even the accounts have log out issue. Please check today and let me know.
Hi, I have uploaded and submitted images and videos this morning, no issue here. Thanks for watching!
Can I sell the photo by using AI generative?
It MAY be OK, assuming a few things... This is what Adobe says: Firefly-generated assets from the commercially released version can be submitted to Adobe Stock as long as they meet our generative AI submission guidelines and don’t contain a watermark.
In general, outputs from generative AI features may be used commercially. However, if Adobe designates in the product or elsewhere that a beta version of a generative AI feature cannot be used commercially, then the generated outputs from that beta feature are for personal use only and cannot be used commercially.

My adobe stock can’t approved any type of pictures or vectors…It claimed me that my pictures are too of 4 megapixel…What I do..???
Your pictures are too small in terms of megapixels? Are you using generative AI? You must upscale them using a tool like Gigapixel by Topaz Labs or one of many other free upscalers available free on the Internet.
Oh that’s good..Thanks
@@MicrostockLife How many megapixels should the image and vector be?
please answer my question
Hello sir,,i also have adobestock acount,,i wanna ask about your activity, how many file you uploaded a day??and how we get idea to get some theme to upload??i just get 2 dollars after 1 year hahaha
Hi. I upload between two and four images and two and four videos a day. Some of my TH-cam videos describe the topics that I have found to be high commercial value, and much of my course focuses on how I research those topics. It really is all about finding the topics that customers want, creating unique content on those topics, and making it easy for customers to find your images and videos. I hope this helps!
@@MicrostockLife thnkyou sir, and how we know that customer want sir..any video or tutorial ? Manu thanks
Hi. I have gone through steps in some of my other videos on TH-cam, as well as in my course I offer. Some of the key steps include: doing searches on Adobe and sorting by downloads, watching your own download activity and tracking what sells and what doesn't, watching the list of artist spotlights in the Insights section on Adobe, and checking the sections on each agency in which they tell you what they need -- what is selling or they expect to sell well and what they don't have enough of. I hope this helps!
please tell me
How many assest do you have in your portfolio?
Hi, thanks for the question. My aim for 15 years has been to upload 2 to 6 assets a day (a mix of images and video) and maintaining this pace I've reached about 26,000 assets at the agencies where I regularly upload. I've found that having the discipline to create daily output has been one of the key factors of success. Best of luck with your microstock journey!
@@MicrostockLife does older images get irrelevant after certain time ?
@@MicrostockLife I have uplaod only 26 assets :(
@@MicrostockLifeI uploaded some images, but it took about 70 days for them to be approved. This is normal?
please help me
how much images uploaded?
Hello. I have about 22,000 images and 7,000 videos at the big agencies. Best of luck!
How much do you make on a monthly?
Hi, I earn around $2,000 per month at Adobe Stock, and around $5,000 overall at all the agencies. I was earning more than $10,000 per month, until Storyblocks changed how its commission structure worked and I'm making WAY less there now. Very frustrating.
@@MicrostockLife okie Thank you, seems I just double down on adobe stock for this year🏆
How I free download videos or photos with no copyright…????
How do you create them? What is the question?
I MEAN HOW I DOWNLOAD FREE VIDEOS OR IMAGEY…ACTUALLY I’M A STUDENT IT’S VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GENERATE OR TAKE PICTURES …SO ,I NEED AN EASY WAY TO MAKE IMAGES OR VECTORS…
Can a vector artist make $1000 dollars per month with these stocks?
As if he starts this month ?
It depends on how much you can create and upload in hugh commercial value niches. It is harder to start today than it was when I started (about 100x more competiton) but with time I do thin its possible to build a money making portfolio of vectors or other file types. Best of luck!
@@MicrostockLife Maybe it is hard but I believe that hard work pays for sure.
I believe " The best time for planting a tree was 20 years ago and the next time is now."
Anyways, sir do you have any course or can you recommend how I can learn as a beginner in vector arts and on demanding niches and earn money and scale it.
Have any copun for course?

Thanks for the comment. Yes, what I am showing here are examples of the topics that are selling well for me right now. In producing this video I searched my top subjects and am showing examples that Adobe is displaying as the most popular. Some are mine among these results. I will more clearly state that in future videos. Thanks.
