Doug, do you think it would be usefull to open a discussion about stock photo pricing?
We will be willing to share our information with you. We are a new site but the information will be more and more valuable as we go.

Elena, I think it would be a good idea. - I was unsure on how to price my images - seems like your ealy users have gone in at quite a high price,

But saying that the quality of the images at featurepics is high.
(depends on your market)

Probably best to start a new thread for this one

This is totally off-topic but I just had to say it...

I HAVE 2 SALES ALREADY at FP - yay!

[morch]

wow well done gracey


Good stuff , what did you sell and for how much>?

[Gracey]

A couple of small old ones (just $2 each ($4 total) but profit was $2.80!)

One was an abandoned farmhouse, the other a picture in early fall looking out over Georgian Bay It was priced at $2 cause I couldn't decide whether the coulds were blown in one spot or not, lol. In sRGB they aren't, but in rgb they look like it.

I was having a dfficult time setting prices because I wanted to keep them competitive...still need to work on it a little I think.

Its tough deciding what to price images at,

i uploaded a batch of PS illustrations that have been selling well else where, but I had no idea what to price them at, It totally depends on where and how Featurepics are marketing their images.


Im unsure if the pricing has been set like that from the first batch of images or if it just evolved that way, -Interesting to see how it changes.

selling two images is a good sign!

Doug, we have been recording price requests since December. Of course, many of them are from photographers. This stat will be more reliable as we go.
We have published the "first try" in any case.
