We strongly encourage owners to set CPM prices on their images and a substantial portion of our images do. For example: http://imgembed.com/portfolio-image/johnnywestcoast/26237/im...

However some image owners have not set prices for their images and a 'Request for price' from a potential user usually gets them to set a price. We have built it so that by clicking the 'Request for price' button, an email automatically gets sent without additional user input.

Our business model is to take a 30% commission on premium sales and hence that also drives us to encourage image owners to set prices. I must admit however that due to the novelty of the format, prices vary, and we are researching pricing guidelines and hope this will help our image owners better gauge the price they should set their images at. Once you go premium however, there is a price lock so there is no need to worry about a price hike.



Thanks for that explanation.
