Lower Mark-up

The mark-up is irrelevant if no one finds your work.

Instead of lowering your price, find out more about advertising

No, but have raised them and seen that.

Interesting. My advertising is none existent except for twitter.

How are people advertising beside social media

i've only increased the price and have seen more sales. unless you started WAY to high in the first place, making art cheaper just cheapens your art.

Ahh interesting posts thanks

I only became premium last week so all my work is new so still experimenting with prices and marketing.

I have seen a pick up in sales when I raised the prices.

Prices don't seem to affect sales. I don't sell a ton but usually 5-10 a month lately. Higher prices may drive people to buy smaller pieces but don't seem to affect the number of sales.

How many people do you have waiting for s sale? Art is sold when some falls in love with it not the price.

True.

The pricing is just new to me. I have a microstock background so anything over a dollar is a cause for celebration

Yep - as Mike said - digital abstracts are a real hard sell - often better when done person to person. Good luck to you.

If You are in a 'normal' range (not too cheap, not too expensive) the mark up is absolutely irrelevant.

You get over the microstock habit very quickly when you sell your first image for $50 - $125 profit and the buyer only uses it once - to proudly display it on their wall.

Microstock, what is this microstock thing.

JC you don't want to know.

Of course the trade off is the marketing is all on you. No agency to bring buyers for you.

JC, anything between exploitation and masochism.
