Title: Looking for pricing advice
Post by: jamiehooper on August 18, 2014, 19:04
I've been a pro photographer for several decades, but have only started submitting to Microstock for the past 2 1/2 years; SS, FT, DT, and BS. Very interesting business paradigm. 25-35 cents ain't much...but it does add up.

Today I got a message from Dreamstime notifying me that a potential buyer was interested in exclusive rights (SR-EL) to one of my images. No people, a scenic vineyard. If I'm interested (I am), I have to give a price to the potential buyer.
My past experience is worth zilch here, as stock sales are so much different that 30 years ago.
So, for any of you that have advice as to what a fair range might be, and what types of things I should take into consideration, I would welcome your thoughts.
(I posted this on the General Topics board as well.)

Can't advise, but I've seen several threads along these lines:

From what I've read here, it doesn't matter the figure - you won't hear back.

You won't hear back if you price it the way you should....that is, for what it's worth.   ;)
