My name is markjay and I'm new to your forum but have been involved in photography for many years. This is a great place and, I'm happy to have found another place to call home :-)

To help other photographers
To help other photographers who like myself, are looking for ways to get a better return per download on your stock images, I have a tip for you........

I have been a member of a website that allows you to sell your digital stock photos on business card templates and get between 5.00 and 25.00 PER use of your photo on a business card template. The cool thing is, the customer does not even GET the file.. they only get to use your photo as a background for a business card print order and the file itself is no larger than 1125 x 675. You can also just use a small portion of one of your photos to put on the business card and it can be just as effective. Remember, all you are doing is creating a background for the template (you can get the blank template from the site.

Basically, you just add your photo to a business card template and upload it as is to the site, where you simply add a text layout of your choosing just to show clients what the card looks like with text on it.

I've been a member for a while now and it's a great place to be with an active artist community as well.

BTW:  I do not work for this site, I'm just a photographer like you are, looking to stretch my download revenue.

Thanks Markjay. We already know about this site, a lot of us a members there. See here: http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/sold-one-business-card-again!-d/

stockastic:
Well it's news to me. Sounds interesting.

epantha:
I've had two $5.00 sales in 4 months with about 30 templates uploaded. Would probably get more sales if I had about 100 templates but only add them when I feel like it. I guess I'm not very enthusiastic about it  ;)

markjay:
That's great that a lot of you are members there but, that I'm sure there are a lot of you who are not members also.....

It's still good for those interested to go to the information link I posted and inquire or look around and see how things work.

And quite a few things have changed on the site since that post you listed was started

For examples there now THOUSANDS of templates needed for categories that have been newly created and, there are ways photographers can use their printbusinesscards.com profile to promote themselves.

And you may also want to inquire about this:
http://ecdstore-360photostock.easycarddesigner.com/ [nofollow]

which is your OWN webpage / business card template page where you get $$ for not only YOUR templates being used, but on ANY templates ordered!!

One thing those who are intrigued by this idea should know:
I am a photographer first and a graphic artist second. In fact when I started doing this I had never done any graphic art work and it inspired me to learn graphic design enough to now create VERY effective business cards... without even using my photos in some of them!

So while I appreciate your informing me some of you are members, you can see there's still valuable information to be had be others.

Have a great day today Clivia !
Markjay
