Selling photos

[Cathus]

I'm not sure about the value of any feedback on that site.

I uploaded 4 shots yestrday evening. I have 50 comments, only 2 of the 50 say something different from either "I love it!" or "Exceptional!"

On reading the guidelines, it's no wonder you get lots of comemnts as it suggests a good way to get other people to look at your stuff is to comment as often as possible to get your name on as many shots s possible, so it seems like a bit of a feeding frenzy of self-promotion rather than a helpful guide to the quality of your photo.

Just noticed a TinyURL feature where you can have a personalised link to your photos on that site.

My link is http://www.photo4me.com/garry

you can set it up in the member section / control panel / Tiny URL

What kind of pricing levels do you think are reasonable for a return?

[jimmyosram]

Comments, although rather general, are very useful. If you get lots you can appear on the home page.

Yeah, agreed Dan. It was nice to see some of ours on the home page even if it was only for a short time.

I have set my price at £10 (probably because of the area that I live in where I know people would not pay too much for them but just in the hope of a few sales. If I am lucky enough to start selling some then I will consider increasing the prices slowly.

Weve still got two each up, yeah i might have to lower to entice people, lol, if it comes to it and nothings selling,

I have mine set at 20 quid which I think is reasonable. I'm not getting excited about selling anything though, as I know the competition is tough out there. It's more for pocket money, and the odd twenty will do nicely I think. It's great fun though, as the stuff I have already put up was doing nothing on my HDD anyway...
