I just got a email from a company that wants to buy my photo for a post card to sent to all their customers. I am still in shock and not believing this. I checked their website and found what looks to be a real company with a list of executives and the person that contacted me is on that list. It appears they have a branch in CT and one in KY. They service 5 satates and part of Canada. I felt surely this must be a joke. They say on their site that they have 5000 active customers.

I want to do this as a 1 time offer exclusive to the card only.
I have never every had anything this big. Am I dreaming???


Big question. what to charge?

    Either a flat fee (say $150) for full rights to the full sized digital image for them to use as they see fit, or a charge per use -- except you won't really know how often they use it.

    congrats!
