I am just now considering advertising and pursuing paid assignments. I think I have my target market identified but am still investigating pricing models. The trial version has been an assist in this. FWIW, I am finding normally about a 20% delta on both sides from my original pricing to what I see being charged in my market. Most of this data is coming from researching pricing on pages from similar photographers across the nation. Perfect timing to run across this post for me.

I'll be heading over to their site next to check them out. Thanks for the link.I've got my own take on pricing, and I'm probably in left field. I own a gallery in a medium sized "vacation community" here in Arizona. My primary income comes from print reproduction for other artists throughout the Western states, and my secondary income comes from my personal photography sales. When I set up my business I found an interesting niche (reproduction work), and knew my photography would be secondary. Interestingly enough, the past 2 months I've seen 50% of my income from print work, and 50% from my own collection of images.I spent a good deal of time researching local competition, investigating gallery prices in town and out of town, and then made my pricing determination based on the structure of my business. I'm still fine tuning, and all input (like the software) is useful.Best of luck to everyone working toward making a living doing something they enjoy! The software looks pretty interesting!

Denver photographer and twitter stalker. This looks like some promising software and a 33% discount code is just the thing to get someone to purchase. I know a lot of photographers who struggle with pricing. But I also know a lot of clients dont know what goes into make a great photo or photo set. Then when you give them your price, they gasp. LOL.Well good luck to everyone!Jason P. Illusive Dreams Hello Jason,
