How to Price Your Photographic Work

You've taken a photo and posted it on the web. Now someone wants to purchase a print. What should you charge?

I'm not a commercial photographer, it's a hobby and I'll say selling photos is a side hustle. Not a job.

That's the BIG depends, Photographic paper, matteing, frame, canvas, metal, glass? There are a number of web pages to help you. I've read many and they you on and on about the business.

Basically many write about your gear cost, you're time in the field, time spent in post processing, and it goes on.

For me it's simply your labor rate + "Parts"(production+shipping).

Labor rate varies widely over the world. So what is your labor rate?  Experience, Skill and Complexity should be considered when setting your personal labor rate. $30-$50/hr is reasonable.

So let's say, on average, you create a photo, 

Research and planning - 1hr

In the field to "get the shot," - 2hr

Postprocessing - 1hr

The size of the print does not figure it the time to crest the image. 

So we have 4 hours, on average, to create an image for sale.

So 4x$30 = $120 to 4x$50 = $200 plus (production+shipping)

So for a recent 11x14 aluminum that costs $45  that brings me to a selling price is $165-$245.

I view my gear as a sunk cost, or at best deprecated asset. Remember it's a hobby.

So where does that leave me?  Ok, it's a hobby I think $100+costs is fare. However when I promote my side hustle I figure $120-$200 + costs is reasonable. Your side hustle just became a business.

Really your creation is only worth what the purchaser is willing to pay. So that brings us to, determine your audience. 

I'll set as price of $100+ costs when someone asks for a print. The customer and I can agree on a price.

Facebook Cloning, By Bard

How to eliminate or reduce cloning of my Facebook account

Draft 1 

There is no foolproof way to eliminate the risk of your Facebook account being cloned, but there are a number of steps you can take to reduce the likelihood that it will happen. Here are some tips:

* **Make your profile less public.** The more information you make public about yourself on Facebook, the easier it is for scammers to create a fake account that looks like yours. Go to your **Profile** page and click on **Settings**. Under **Privacy**, review the settings for each section and make sure that only the information you want to be public is visible. For example, you may want to make your friends list private so that only your friends can see it.

* **Use a strong password and two-factor authentication.** A strong password will make it more difficult for scammers to hack your account. You should also enable two-factor authentication, which adds an extra layer of security by requiring you to enter a code from your phone in addition to your password when you log in.

* **Be careful about what links you click on.** Scammers often send links to fake websites that look like real Facebook pages. If you click on one of these links, you could be infected with malware or have your personal information stolen. Only click on links that you know are safe.

* **Be suspicious of friend requests from people you don't know.** If you receive a friend request from someone you don't know, don't accept it right away. Instead, check their profile to make sure it looks legitimate. If you're still not sure, you can always ask the person to contact you outside of Facebook to verify their identity.

* **Report any cloned accounts you see.** If you see a cloned account that's using your name or likeness, you can report it to Facebook. To do this, go to the cloned profile and click on the **More** button (three dots) in the top right corner. Select **Report Profile** and then follow the instructions.

By following these tips, you can help to protect your Facebook account from being cloned.
