And I made a website. http://www.channelphoto.com/
I will be glad of any criticism

Just checked it for a couple minutes.

Hare a few thoughts:

- think about using 100% browser width setting - some people have really big screens and it would move the Cart link all the way to the right. I would just set a fixed width to prevent that.

- You are wasting too much space on the top of the page where the logo is. Too roomy for my taste. You want to show the people the images and this way they are being pushed further down which is never good.

- Images are listed with credit pricing but I can't find a link where I can purchase credits. Is it credits or $?

Maybe I missed something regarding my points mentioned. It was just a quick glimpse.

thank you, You're right, the design soon I will be corrected.
I will do the right button to "buy" and "sell"
Prices in the credits. After registering the button "buy credit" will be visible

You should write that on the front page so visitors will understand right away.

No, this is not it

luissantos84 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 21, 2012, 17:42 »

I am looking at your prices and it looks like you are selling very cheap (yep I know you get a lot more royalties %)

you seem to have max size as 5MP

FT
XS - 1
M - 3
L - 7

YOURS equivalent
XS - 0.5
L - 1
Original as L in FT (5MP) - 3

but one of them shouldn´t be lower pricing to get more buyers, its not a good solution once if you sell it lower you might find harder to sell for more after

Oleg · « **Reply #16 on:** June 22, 2012, 08:03 »

I have the opportunity to do different types of content and at different prices.
Prices - it is always difficult
I start with the cheapest type of content

Oleg,

as in the most businesses, the worst mistake you can make, is to set your prices too low.
Unfortunately, most starting entrepreneurs learn it too late (some never).

How do you find using CMSaccount? Is it easy to bulk edit photos and upload photos?

I'm currently selling with photodeck and it is a bit pricy for how few sales I get. I think I'd rather use a self hosted system like cmsaccount or ktools (if they would ever release the latest version with better design)

CMSaccount - it's better than ktools
ktools - is an old, and inconvenient program

Yes, I have operated several business ventures, and I made also some errors.

A long time ago, I read somewhere the advice which I gave you, and it was one of the best tips I got. It really works.
Selling low (and in very high volume) might be profitable for some businesses, but that is more exception than a rule.
You have nice photos, don't sell yourself cheap.

Oleg · « **Reply #24 on:** June 26, 2012, 07:09 »

Globally - I agree.
In particular - why $ 3 a little, and $ 0.3 for a subscribed well ?
I am selling (trying to) almost by subscription, only the size of a small subscription
