Has anyone had a recent sale at snapvillage, and what are you listing your images for price wise?

Haven't had a sale yet, but I'm building my portfolio there now. I don't think we can expect anything great from them until they're past beta and start proper marketing.

My standard price is $10 and no subscription. Particularly good or unique images, I increase the price to $25. Those "13 a dozen" shots are prized at $5 with subscription. I also consider uploading photos I have at macro agencies and set the price at $50.

We've had 9 sales on SnapVillage in the past 3 weeks. All at either the $25 or $50 level.

Edited: Stupid question. Obviously you're out. You're even out of SS, right?

You're right. His portfolio link is wrong though. It leads to an empty portfolio. Anyway, I checked the portfolio at Snapperhome, and I couldn't find any subscription photos.

Why do you price them so low? Don't you think customers can afford $5?

Right now, we're not on subscription on SnapVillage. That may change... we're testing out the higher price point approach for now. All images are default at $25 and we're moving some higher. We do have subscription available on all other distributors including Shutterstock and will opt-in to the upcoming StockXpert offer.

I agree on the higher price-point. I think that is probably the most interesting development within microstock right now.
