Title: Licences - Custom/RM
Post by: Kerioak~Christine on September 05, 2013, 02:08
I have a lot of new images I am uploading and am thinking about offering an RM as well as standard licences and will remove the custom licence if they sell as standard.

Has anyone else done this?

I know we can add varioius custom licences but would it make sense to just do it on exclusive usage, maybe 12 months exclusive usage worldwide and to contact me if they want anything different?

I would be interested to hear your thoughts or how you are dealing with this

if you don't know what you are doing in terms of RM, best thing to do is go to a site like GI, find a RM image, go through their filters to get a price, then give your customer 40% off of that. GI usually pays contirbutors 40%, so you can deduct the same amount and get the 'agency' fee for hosting and finding the buyer.

hope this makes sense.

Doing something like that is fine but does not answer my question as the best way to go about putting licences up on the site and whether to offer multiple options or not

It was an excellent suggestion for selling a one off image but not quite so practical for a variety  :)
