Title: Extended license sales and pricing
Post by: kacper on August 12, 2006, 08:52: How is everyone doing in the extended license department here and what are you pricing them at? Since going up to the next level, I popped all my extended licenses to $40. Not really a lot of money, but ever since I had none bought. I've had several previously purchased at $10 and $20 (which was pitifully low). Are designers so stingy they don't want to shell out $40?

Post by: kacper on August 12, 2006, 09:25: I hope you're right Phil, because I'm itching to raise the price again to $100...

Post by: phildate on August 31, 2006, 20:28: Group Business Shots mainly. But also one landscape picture of Perth at night. That shot was taken a long time ago with a Nikon F65 (cheap camera!) and Fuji Velvia slide film. The scan was from a Nikon Coolscan IV and looking back, it's definitely not of the standard I can now produce with the D2X. But if it sells, I ain't complaining!

Nice! I've had 5 within the past two days, I thought that would carry me to #1 for the week, but apparently not. Are you #1 this week?

Post by: CJPhoto on September 01, 2006, 01:30: The most promising thing about Phils 7 sales is not that he got 7, but that they stumped up a full$100 each for them (since he is on gold he can charge more and get a bigger cut).

This is promising as it means that people aren't looking just for ones with low prices (there are only three photographers who can charge $100???).

Post by: nruboc on September 01, 2006, 01:36: Nope, there are more than that, all the silvers can charge $100.

Post by: madelaide on September 01, 2006, 16:27: Got an EL today - my third at Fotolia. My top price can only be US$20, but I'm happy. It makes Fotolia now my 2nd best paying microstock site.

Regards,
Adelaide

Post by: hellobob on September 02, 2006, 13:09: i had two el on the same day phildate did. i charge the max of 100 as i feel any company buying image will probably be making quite a bit from my photo and is still getting a bargain for a quality image.

Post by: chellyar on September 02, 2006, 14:46: I've had two in the last couple of days, on a couple of images that were already good sellers on there...

They were $10 sales, which is fine by me....
