Ha! You may not want to know...
Thanks! I haven't tried Adobe Stock, but yeah, I kind of like knowing how the images are going to be used. Although I offer easy licensing and downloading through my website, every image I've licensed over the years has been through email correspondence. Emailing local magazine publishers and asking to be put on their photo query email list has helped a lot over the years. They send out bulk emails to photographers with image requests and sometimes I have what they need. Cheers!
Adobe stock is totally not worth it, especially for you who has a name in the industry already. I've made some laughable 10 usd from a few sales there \o\
Ouch, yeah, that's pretty cheap but understandable these days. There's sooo many images out there.
