Let's score new uploads to Adobe Stock -- generative AI, photography, traditional illustrations, etc. I rate the earnings potential of images from 1 to 5. I'm constantly surprised by what people forget to put in their titles and keywords! - Навчання та стиль
Useful as always. Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Thank you, this is very helpful.
Thank you for your video! It's really helpful
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it!
Thank you for the detailed information.
Thanks for that feedback!
Love your content. We need more like this❤
Thanks. There will be more!
We are waiting for your latest information. Thanks M L.
Thanks! I'm trying to crank out two videos a week. Should have something new Friday or so. I appreciate the feedback!
Appreciate your videos 💯👏🏻 , helpful for new comers on adobe stock
Thank you for the kind words and best of luck to you!
Brilliant video, most helpful in writing accurate description and right keywords. I've leant several new things in this video. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
Thank you... my next one will be hitting soon, and it also has a lot of good information for you!
GREAT VIDEO, VERY HELPFUL SIR. THANK YOU
Thanks for the feedback and best of luck to you!
Great information
I appreciate your stream of consciousness approach to reviewing these images. Not only what you see, but why it works or doesn't work. Helps a lot when creating titles and keywording. Thank you!
I appreciate the feedback. As long as people tell me they find value in them I will keep doing them.
I look forward to it. I have 400 AI images on Adobe and about 25% are selling a little each day. I'm considering going back through the ones that have not sold and adjusting keywords and titles based upon your advice. Would it be smart to do so? @@MicrostockLife
thank you so much
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hey! Having made a living as a microstock contributor for the last 8 years, I'm always looking to learn more and I always look for your youtube content. Thank you! I'm curious about the research or experiences that led you to the specific numbers of 70 characters and 12 words per title. Also, how do you see the impact of such a title compared to using the full 200-character limit? Your insights on avoiding filler words and not forming complete sentences for better optimization are also pretty interesting and valuable. How did you come up with this numbers or what is your thought process? Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!
That's a great question that i'd love to know
UPDATED: Thanks for the great questions! Adobe has said this:
"Enter a brief title of up to 70 characters that sounds natural when spoken. Your description helps search engines understand what’s in your content." Thst equates to roughly a dozen words. helpx.adobe.com/si/stock/contributor/help/keyword-tutorial.html
I do sometimes go a but beyond that but I believe Adobe needs to figure out what words are important and if the title words match the first 10 keywords pretty closely, that helps give you a boost in their search algorithm. Adding words like and, or, of and the add nothing to help you appear highly in search results.
As for keywords, include the objects appearing in the image as well as the concepts represented and the actions occurring in it.
I hope this answers your questions and helps!
thanks so much ♥
Hi, After watching your video I noticed that the first ten keywords are not showing in a image on portfolio page while I have written 50 keywords, it shows around 38-40. So, Where gone the first 10-12 keywords ?
BTW informatic video 👍
My main issue was my titles. I didn't know the importance of it, thinking that keywords were the important part. Then I started to title as if I'm trying to find my own images in the search. Basically asking myself what would I type to find an image like this? It helped a lot.
That is spot on. Always think like a customer. Best of luck to you!
@@MicrostockLifeYour channel really helped me see where I was going wrong. Thank you
Great content as always! I mostly upload vector files on Shutterstock and Adobestock. Can you let me know how to search optimized titles for design and how you select the title for your designs? I have one more question is can we use " Comma , " or " Full stop . " in the titles of our files? As we know sometimes a single design can target 2-3 types of audience so can we use 2-3 different titles (short titles) and separate them with comma or full stops. Is that fine?
Hi. Great questions. In writing titles, I think the way I think when keywording: what words will the customer use in a search? And like you point out, sometimes an image could meet multiple needs and you need to anticipate all those needs and include them. I think it can be done without having to write two or three separate titles. You should be able to combine them, even if it ends up being a bit clunky. For example, if an image shows an older couple exercising on a beach the title could be "Senior couple running on beach older people fitness exercise jogging enjoying retirement" or something like that. That title covers the concepts of age, lifestyle, fitness and retirement. And this is almost a sentence, but avoids unnecessary words like "a, the, of, and" etc. Punctuation is not necessary, though I am unaware of Adobe's algorithm penalizes its use. I hope this helps!
Thank you once again.@@MicrostockLife
5:47 there's actually a seamless keyword in the keywords list
Wow, I will have to look at it again. I hope I still got the point across to people making seamless illustrations that it's an important keyword to include. Thanks for pointing out!
but Ai of adobe is changing your keywords, there are never the same as I created. Is it a way to make the same keywords.
What do you think about wildlife niche?
Hi. In my experience, concepts sell most. By that I mean, most buyers have a message they need an image to "say." Like an older couple exercising, which would convey aging, healthy lifestyle, etc. An image of a lion might say strength or leadership, but I think there are few examples of an animal conveying a topic or theme. Certainly there will be a few customers a day who may need an image of a woodpecker or some other specific animal, but nowhere near the number that will want an image of a Black business woman shaking hands with a customer or employee, which conveys diversity, success, etc. I hope this helps.
Should I write the resolution and aspect ration of the photo in the title or in tags,also for example mobile photos are 9:16, so should I somehow mention that in the title or in tags?
Hello. Adobe says this about uploading vertical videos so I would believe Adobe would be ok with us doing so for images: "Please include the keywords “vertical” and “video” in your titles and keywords."
Adobe encourages use of terms like "high angle view" to describe perspective so offering a description of aspect ratio may be allowed as well but I haven't seen it explicitly stated.
helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/titles-and-keyword.html
@@MicrostockLife Tnx for fast reply, well I think Adove automatically write resolution of photo and buyer knows what resolution/aspect ratio image is, but I just ask "in case'' should I mention that in title or tags, I guess I will exclude that.
Which one is better as a title?
1- On the white wall is a blank canvas poster mockup, in an empty white room
2- In the empty white room, there is a blank canvas mockup on the wall along with a poster
You don't need to write it as a complete sentence so I would leave out words like is, as, a... otherwise they seem pretty similar. Make sure the title is packed with words that a buyer will use to search an image like yours. Best of luck!
Thanks a for the interesting videos. How do shutterstock and other stocks that don't accept Ai photos recognize them?
Hi. I believe all the agencies have ways of telling. Midjourney images, for instance, have a pretty distinctive look. And then they can look at patterns. Did a contributor just upload a batch of 500 new images on a wide variety of subjects and styles? Those are just a few examples. A contributor would be foolish to try to slip AI into the agencies that don't accept them. They may not get rejected or banned right away, but I believe they would be caught before long.
@@MicrostockLife Thank you so much for such a very detailed answer.
Hello, can I get sales on Adobe Stock without submitting their tax declaration, and are there any risks or disadvantages if I do not submit this tax declaration?
Hi. This page gives all of Adobe's tax guidelines. I wouldn't want to interpret it for you and get anything wrong... helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/Contributor-tax-FAQ.html#:~:text=Submit%20your%20tax%20forms,-Tax%20forms%20must&text=Tax%20forms%20must%20be%20submitted,to%20your%20Contributor%20Account%20page.
Also, how important is the choice of category in your opinion?
Not very important. I believe it doesn't impact searches and would just be useful to buyers who feel like just scrolling through an entire category to find what they want.
Very wonderful video
Do you upload ai iamges?
JEPG is better than PNG
Please state the reason
Hi again. Answered in another thread.
It's so demoralising sometimes when Adobe takes more than a month to approve a batch, sometimes they do it in 15 days and sometimes 30 days aren't enough for them. Is it true that submitting short batches will get approval more easily since the number of images is to review is less ?
Hi. I have not heard of small batches getting through reviews quicker. I prefer small batches for a different reason... in case a reviewer doesn't like something I did and decides to reject a whole batch... a smaller batch of rejections is better than a large one. It has only happened to me a few times but I learned my lesson! Best of luck!
Before the Generative AI check box, we were required to put "created with Generitive AI" in the title and "generitive ai, generative, ai" in the keywords. I did this for a long time after it was no longer requred just becase I didn't know it wasn't required anymore.
No as when those assets were submitted there was no check mark for generative ai
Yeah that makes sense. Just wanted to point out to people that Adobe now says not to do it. Thanks!
I'm French, do you think it's a problem to write the description + keywords in French for an international search because of potential errors during translation by Adobe?
Hi. I don't know how good Adobe's translations are but I think I spotted some errors during my recording for the latest video. If you are able to enter your titles and keywords in English that may be safest since it could be the default language for a lot of people around the world. Best of luck!
@@MicrostockLifeI think so, but my English is approximate when it comes to technical terms, in any case thank you for your answer. maybe i will try...
Can you tell me how you makes your video animation?
Hi. I do animations in 3d rendering software like Blender or cheetah 3d. Best of luck!
1:18 Any recommended tools for this case? Either free or paid option should be fine.
You're asking about coming up with the 10 most important keywords for the image? I know some people are using AI tools for thus but I think this is too important to turn over to a tool. You have to think like a customer and guess the words that they will use to search for images like yours. You can do that better than AI. These words should go into the title and first 10 keywords. Is this what you were asking about?
@@MicrostockLife Yes. But, I can't figure it out. My mentor said that I have to write down the title as detail as possible. Otherwise, the assets won't be found by any customers. Because every person always have different idea for typing the keywords. So I will use the tools to make it short. And I will fix the rest. How's that sound?
I think tools can be helpful as long as you carefully review and edit what they give you. If Adobe says to aim for 70 characters, I think that's a way of saying their algorithm needs to know what words are priorities for search to be effective. If you give them a title with 150 characters, that's probably too many to prioritize. If everything is most important, then nothing is.
How can i upload portrait of people created with AI?
I uploaded some and they got rejected
Hi. Dif you follow this rule? "If the generative AI content was not based on a real person, but it visually appears to resemble a person, then you must click the "People and Property are fictional" box in the contributor portal to certify the people and/or property are fictional."
If you followed this rule I'm not sure what you maynhave done wrong. Check out my video on things that willbget you rejected at Adobe Stock. Best of luck!
@@MicrostockLife i did it with every portrait but they all got rejected
The say:"INTEllECTUAL PROPERTY REFUSAL"
huge amount of mistakes in these images especially the last two, adobe seems to have gone soft...
31:07 hands of the lady on the far right are all sorts of messed up, back left guy seems to have cut his hand of and just placed it on the table (look at how his shoulder and arm line up with his hand)
32:26 huge amount of mistakes was suprised to see this one at the start of the video, hands are a huge mess... who is holding the flag? whats with the lady on the lower rights eyes? the black guy in the back has 8 fingers? whats going on with his shoulder is it dislocated? whos hand is on the far left? the canada flag is also wrong...
really poor show here from adobe, they need to protect us and our earnings by removing these obvious errors !
we work hard and spend hundred on various ai services only for our sales to be canabalised by these low quality images !
All valid points. For the purpose of the video I focused on themes, general execution in terms of subject matter, titles and keywords. I didn't examine technical details and thats definitely still an overall issue that needs to be addressed.
Too bad I don't speak English
Sorry if my content isn't understandable for you. Best of luck to you!

the cards are not even right, the person uploading clearly has no clue
Yes people need to pay mich greater attention to details!
Yup, also surprising it was accepted. Image reviewer was just as clueless about cards.
