Build a system, not a product" is the only advice that scales. I learned this packaging 39 stock products on a single-core, 2 GB server, and it wasn't talent that got them out: it was four small Python scripts. Uploading by hand is where people stall. One wrong CSV header and Adobe, Vecteezy, or Dreamstime reject the whole batch instantly, so `make_metadata.py` writes the exact 5-col, 4-col and 15-col headers and nothing else. Run your batch twice and your account gets flagged, so `upload_tracker.py` is a ledger that makes double-posting impossible. The art is the fun part, the packaging is what kills momentum, so `pack_product.py` zips the files and renders the 1280×720 cover and 600×600 thumbnail in one command, Pillow being the one dependency it needs. Two packages total, one of them optional, standard library for everything https://revanzart-shop.revanzart.workers.dev/go/digital-asset-factory?src=nostr

i built the Digital Asset Factory for this.
