Thanks!

Ah, licensing fees... That is a mysterious and strange world of pricing, and deserves a full post of its own. It's still something I'm trying to nail down, and will document it as I do.

Quite simply, it's price discrimination. I arrived at these numbers by imitating what others are doing and adjusting slightly based on my own assumptions.

A large company is assumed to get more utility out of an image than a small company, is therefore charged more. For example, if a large company uses a cartoon in a newsletter, that newsletter is presumed to have a larger circulation than the smaller company's newsletter.

I'm not convinced this is the best pricing structure to go on, but I decided to start with this and improve it as I go along. Will certainly write about this process (and results) soon.

This is great. What about a "blogger" subscription plan that is affordable for an individual like me? As someone who blogs frequently and would like to incorporate more imagery, I think I could convince myself to pay something like $30/month to use 4 pictures a month. (one per week)

Love that idea. Since I'm using Stripe for payments, this should be fairly straight-forward to setup. May I email you an update when this is available?

As a blogger I'd also be interested in this. Email is in my user profile :)

Sure thing - email in profile.

Perhaps price blogs based on: - Number of views - Number of Images needed per month/week
