Quick transparency check-in with my Adobe Stock results from last week 👇 • Downloads: 11 • Earnings: $8.47 • Portfolio Position: ~32,300 Nothing flashy — and that’s exactly the point. This is what early-stage stock image growth actually looks like. Small wins stacking over time while the portfolio grows and older uploads keep working in the background. Most people quit here because the numbers don’t look exciting yet. The people who stick with it, keep uploading, and refine their prompts are the ones who eventually see momentum. Focus on: • Consistent uploads • Low-to-moderate competition niches • Clean, approval-friendly realism • Iterating based on what gets accepted 📌 If you’re uploading right now and seeing slow results — you’re not behind. You’re early. Drop your uploads or wins from last week below 👇

What are you working on today — or are you taking it easy and easing into the weekend? Some of you are probably uploading, prompting, or cleaning up portfolios… others might be fully in rest + recharge mode, and that’s just as valid. Personally, I got my head down today working on a new GPT specifically for this community, and I’m aiming to have it ready by Monday 👀 Drop a comment below: - 🔨 grinding - ☕ light work - 🌴 fully offline Always good to see where everyone’s at.

My first three rejections today 😅, but in the same time I uploaded another 8 illustrations and let's see! Anyway I brought you a free image upscaler that can upscale your images to 8k (that's what they say) which I find very useful 👇 Nordy - No GPU, No Install. Run ComfyUI on Any Device.

I just added 100 broad stock image niches to the Reference Course in the Classroom. These are meant to help you start your workflow, then niche down and cross-niche instead of guessing what to create next. I also added a few tools that @Nat J. and @Mohammed Charef recommended, so big thanks to them for sharing resources that can help the whole group 👏 This community works best when we build it together. If you’re using any tools, websites, workflows, or resources that have helped you with stock images or Adobe Stock, please share them here. I’m happy to add useful ones to the reference section so everyone benefits. Let’s make this the best stock image community on the internet — focused on learning, testing, and helping each other improve.

I'm totally new on adobe stock, I was thinking for a long time to start this business model but because of my procrastinating I haven't. And now when I see you talking about it I finally started it today with my new account. Thanks a lot Michael and I hope we'll all succeed in this journey together, peace.
