Pricing on my own Stock Site

by · October 5, 2015

I’ve only had one sale since moving to the new design of my personal stock agency, and so I decided to change the license type (from a sort of restricted royalty free license competing with Shutterstock and the like) to a one time use license with an extended option (for resale products) and reduced the pricing significantly.

I rewrote my license based on one that Robin (from Symbiostock) uses on his stock site, and changed the pricing so that the images are now for sale as:

Small JPEG – 600 pixels – $0.99
Medium JPEG – 1000 pixels – $1.99
Large JPEG – 3200 pixels – $3.99
Full size JPEG – $4.99
Extended License, full size – $35.00

I’ll see if this makes a difference to the sales!
