What do you think?
If I spend 45 minutes making this thing so beautiful and sparkly in photoshop with my name and several images of my gloriousness calling out to you in sweet harmony.. should I charge you for it, or just give it to you for free?

Ummm for a customer? You had BETTER effin charge for it woman, are you NUTS?





FREE. Promo Tool ....





Ummm no, not if she spent almost an hour on it. I say if you can knock a nice one together in about 15 minutes THEN give it out as a promo tool but not something that took almost an hour. Maybe I am just hyper aware of time now that I`m a `per minute` girl but once I`ve charged someone $5 a min or a couple hundred bucks an hour for something giving away something for free that I spent an hour on seems ludacris to me.
Hahaha, so a picture with a watermark for a promo tool and a banging dream wallpaper for the man who pays.





EXACTLY! Make the pic smokin hot, but seriously not an hour long progect. Look at stripper promo posters. Hot? Yes! But not over the top.





I spend an hour making promo videos.... usually called hard work.
It pays off.





SOrry I meant to ask if your running a business, or just selling things?
Because it really does matter if your long term or short term... I really had to think about it.
Hahah, I'm in business. No member site, though. I think I -am- going to put up a store, though. But yeah. Long haul, brand making bullshit.
...HMMM.
Yeah, you just made me go look at your newest promo vid. I do need to step up my game in that department. What editor are you using? A+.





Ouch that hard work comment sounded a bit snarky. I GET hard work. Bun do whatever works best for you in the end hun.





Not meant to be snarky. I apologize.
I use Windows movie maker & Corel Video Studio Pro x4 for my videos.
If you give NOTHING for free its hard for people to remember you or even want to buy anything from you. Have fun with it sometimes.
I think I'm gonna do best of both worlds and "Release hot new wallpapers" for more twitter followers.
That way I feel like I'm being paid for my efforts and they feel like they're getting something for free.





Yeah I think that sounds great, it`s all about balance.



Depending on what site you're on, offer a special deal for it. Like "spend 10 mins in pvt, get a free wallpaper to remember me by", or if you're on MFC, offer it as a prize for a quick raffle or game. That way you're getting some $ for your efforts, but guys still feel like its not something they necessarily have to "purchase"





^ aaaaand BRILLIANT!
