I mentioned last week that I want to create a website to sell my AI creations, the ones that I don't share here for free.
It's going to be a bit before I can build my site because finances for us are tight but I have a couple of questions before I do.
Most of you have seen the creations I make and I'd like to have your honest opinion on what you think I should charge per download. These images can either be used as digital wallpapers or be printed by the purchaser for printing.
Maybe it would be easier if I put it to a poll.
What would you personally be willing to pay for a downloadable image? Please be honest because this will help me determine if this will be a successful venture or not.
If you have a price in mind not listed here please leave a comment. Thanks everyone.💙
@Tacitus_Kilgore My immediate thought was 0.99. Think how books on Amazon Kindle started out or songs on Apple Music. You can start at 1.99 and see if that works though. I don't think you'll make enough on digital downloads compared to prints. Someone mentioned Displate which is a popular way to own metal prints. Do your research and structure the business accordingly.
@Tacitus_Kilgore My 2 cents & follows similar encouragement I gave @MrGoat for his cool goat AI art. I wouldn’t personally pay for a download, but I would pay for metal prints. It’s my then 15yo son who first introduced me to Displate as he wanted some of the rap art for his BDay. It’s the perfect medium for AI art b/c of how sharp images look on glossy or matte metal. And it’s huge with GenZ (& now me, GenX). Also you won’t have the headache of running a shop. https://displate.com/open-shop
@Tacitus_Kilgore @MrGoat The even print to Lumino now with built in OLED lights! I haven’t bought an artist that way yet, but am planning a Displate wall gallery in my home so it’s on the list. Would sure love to add both of your original works there! Here are a few of my son’s Displates he wanted that I got him for his BDay.

@Tacitus_Kilgore @MrGoat Payouts to artists are all in PayPal so you do need that, which you both have. Commission detail: “It is 4,50 USD for M size artwork, 9 USD for L size artwork and 14,50 USD for XL minus taxes and fees and a discount, if one was applied.”
