Image File Sale by Jason Connolly

Charge as much as possible! 10yrs? Don’t undersell yourself Jason, but having said that, I wouldn’t have a clue! Excellent and brilliant news though, so well done you! Are you going to show us which one it is, just out of interest? Am really pleased for you Jason, so glad to hear that someone is doing well with their work…S:)x

OMG Jason How long is a piece of string .I wouldn’t have a clue .Fantastic news for you ..

I am of no help regard the price bt well done!! I Like hockeyanimals suggestion! LOL

No idea, but a girl I know on here got AUD$600 for the non-exclusive use of one of her images for 1 month in an online and print advertising campaign.
Congratulations Jason.

A hard one, Don`t undersell yourself, but at the same time don`t overprice ! Good luck with making the decision, and Congrats !

The world of commerce is a mystery to me Jase, but well done!!

No idea Jason, but congratulations.

I think the reason they don’t offer a price is that they are hoping you pick a price that is 5% of what they are prepared to pay.
Bear in mind the $600 was for 28 days use.
Why not put the boot on the other foot and ask them to propose what they are prepared to pay for non exclusive use and also for exclusive use?

Fabulous news mate, many congrats. As for pricing – I wouldn’t have a clue. How about asking them what they would offer and then come back to them once you have had a think. If they offer too low tell them that you want more as it a long term Project lasting 10 years. Hope it all goes really well for you mate, so well deserved.

I would say…the “going rate” is irrelevant here, 1 you are an amateur and 2, as an amateur the kudos is worth more than the money. say that, everything has a price and it is only worth what they are prepared to pay, based on a similar 1 year rights sale I’ve recently has, which was also charity linked, I would say start at £1000.00. Most stock websites would be between £50 & £100 for online rights, not printing rights, that’s different. let’s face it, £500 would be pretty incredible wouldn’t it…think of the exposure !!.
that’s my 2 cents anyway !!…Fantastic news by the way…well done mate…:)

Well done sir, not sure if this is up to date but it might help and Amazon is full of help. You have to decide on a pay structure, a large fee up front and a usage renewal each year with them having first rights to that image, a one off fee and then work out the legal exclusivity rights, also work in 10 years of tax rates, inflation, the costs of you dealing with this issue each year. Try looking for advice on some of the pro photographer association sites.

Jason that’s great news. Hope you get what you want.

Great news mate. Well done.

Well done Jason, you have got to be thinking four figures minimum a £1000 is less than £2 per week over ten years in my reckoning not much when you think of it, not even a pint of ale. Its also only 2000 clicks a year at 5p a click. Best of luck with this one Jase.

Great news Jase, don’t sell it cheap …

congrats to you jason!! i wouldn’t know where to begin that would add anything that hasn’t already been spoken of here.

BIG congratulations Jason, that is great!!!

It’s difficult to say without more information on the exact nature of use, but I just had a quick look on Alamy, selecting the closest I could find as a licensing option. The longest period was 3 years and for just use in the UK, the cost was £255, rising to £490 for worldwide or a slightly different selection, based on use on a corporate website came out at over £1700. My website, based on Imagequote, ranged from £1500 to £2000 for 5 years. It basically depends on whether or not it is going to be for advertising purposes or not, as that will push the price up to the four figure values.

Congratulations! That’s a big honor! Charge as much as possible, they just can say “no”.

Fantastic news Jas..so proud of you!! Have no idea on prices..so best of luck with it!! *-)

Well Jason my image of the bikini girl laying in the water I sold for sommercial use in full image format for $250. I know aviation photos are often sold between $200-$300us

Congrats Jase’ The price? Haven’t a clue, but think of the free publicity and if you are reasonable, whats to stop them and others coming back for more? You need to speak to a rival company to get an idea of price or ask them their price and treble it. Any fee will be taxable, so don’t be asking here and put the image in your kid’s name. 10 years is a long time too, what were things worth 10 years ago? What will they be in 2020?
Good Luck, don’t blow it, Ha.

wow mate! thats awesome news! all the best :)

That’s ok Jason, good luck. You just have to be careful not to get exploited. Commercial use gets less than advertising generally it seems. So far I’ve only had editorial use licenses, which get less again. Letting them name a price first is a good ploy, but also find out the exact requirements, so that you can get a better guide.

Better late than never Jason – have had a big power cut. Just my pennies worth – You’ve got to get the accent right and it goes something like this : A thousand pounds sounds about right already my son ! The ‘already my son ’ tells them you are of the right ethnic persuasion not to stand any nonsense and the’ about right’ gives them room to manoeuvre and you to counter manoeuvre ! Sound OK ?
