    How much is your time worth?

    I've been in the content business for several years now, and before that and to this day, also a webmaster who makes sites.

    I am wondering, on average, how much time to you spend getting a photo set or video ready for your sites?

    I'm talking about the time you spend making galleries, cutting up movies for clips, editing and encoding, resizing, optimizing, watermarking, etc.

    Do you count the time you spend as part of the cost? I know myself, I many times discounted my time, and never figured it into the cost of content.

    When I first began selling content, I was interested in giving webmasters inexpensive content. Now, I'm focusing more on value, in return on investment and in time. It only makes sense to not only invest your money wisely, but also your time.

    I've decided that offering services such as pre-made galleries, different sizes of photos, pre-made promotional clips, watermarking etc. is something that is of value to the content buyer.

    I'd like to know your thoughts on this, because at Sell my Content this is the direction we decided to go and I'd really like some feedback on how much value you all place on these types of things.

                                    I think those kinds of services can be of great help to the content buyer, as it would save him/her a great deal of time. And time certainly is money in this biz.

                                    Nice work Tia ;)

                                    I like the pics... The site is awesome and the price is right.

                                      Hi Tia.

                                      Very innovative way of thinking. Saving money for the buyer is definately a great way to maximize your earning potential. It is original and it is a great idea. Good luck on the new project, I look forward to seeing the end result

                                        My time is very valuable. So when we work for someone mainstream, webdesign, we charge no less tha 75$ per hour. Unless it is a client that we have done several sites for, and have more on the way. Then we will go as low as 30$ an hour.

                                          No easy answer to your question, since each set is always different (for us). I do everything from set/prop design and construction to all photography, post-editing, etc. A lot depends on the complexity of the set and the time involved building the props (we shoot BDSM/fetish - so I often build bondage furniture and such for different shoots).

                                          But no, I don't really factor set construction as part of my costs (although I probably should). If I did, I'd spread the cost over 2-3 shoots since we often use the same equipment for several photosets in a row before dismantling and trying a different configuration. For a typical set, I'd say it averages me about 2-3 hours of assembly and arrangement...including lighting.

                                          I *do* include my post-editing production time in my costs, though.

                                                        Don't tell me you're all hung up on size. Like it really matters!

                                                        Geeeze, he's gay anyway. Prolly popular with his butt buddies?
