Make more MONEY from your prints!

I am building a new website to host my personal gallery of limited-edition and signature-series prints. As many of you may know, photos of this type can sell for anywhere from $50 to over $1,000. The most expensive two I have seen this month were $3,200 and $7,500.

The key is in your popularity, the number of prints in an edition, a certificate of authenticity, and a few other trade secrets.

I have a few people in mind to accept on my site so that they can have their own Galleries.

The details are still being worked out in my head due to having too much to do as it is.

Essentially, unknown photographers would benefit from being on the same site with well-known and sought-after photographers. I want to make some money for using my name and time. There are two options that I have in mind.

Option 1: A photographer signs up for a personal gallery and my company takes a sales commission of 20% of all sales--much as an agent would. Although, there are agents who take 50%--so be careful if you do this on your own.

Option 2: A photographer signs up for a personal gallery and my company charges a per-image price to display the prints, whether they sell or not. I am thinking about something like $25 per month per print, but I am not sure.

There are photographers who are unknown that take photos which could bring sales in with estimated prices of $29 to $350, and maybe more. I would say that on average from what I have seen at WPO, most of the members could be getting $85-$179 per print, and that is not matted or framed.

I would like your comments on any of this as I iron out the wrinkles.

Thanks.
