Stay away from

Do me a favor…stay away from Photopreneur.com. Any site that would actually advocate any business that wants you to sell your rights in an image, including the rights to resell, for $800, is no photographer’s friend.

I don’t have time to go into all the bad things that this sales site has to “offer.” Suffice it to say that if you want to commit business suicide, this site is your Kevorkian.

In fact, I can’t find anything redeemable about photopreneur at all. No real humans connected (contact is all anonymous) and they appear to be lumping pho photographers and schmucks-with-cameras into the same boat. Just trying to make a buck…offering BAD advice to all. 

Stay away.

    1. I agree we shouldn’t advertise it, but we DO need to get the info out to the community that this is NOT a good idea. There are many photographers who will not know otherwise and need to hear that this is not a good thing for their businesses. –Leslie

  1. I’m calling bullshit on that site and that article. Selling your copyright is stealing from your future and is short term thinking.

    For gods sake people just be smart and hold on to your work. Just because the economy is challenging does not mean we should bend over and touch your toes just to make a little bit of money.

    Like what Leslie says in her manual this month I started a smaller retailish business model for local bands and artists that covers my costs and puts a little money in my pocket while allowing me to network and grow my reputation in town and its working out awesome.

    The money I spent in promoting the business cost me about $40 in flyers and a few days of time but the business I got is good.

    Like good ol Kenny says, “You gotta know when to hold them. You gotta know when to fold them. Know when to walk away and know when to run”

    Run as fast as you can from jerks wanting your copyrights. Tell everyone you know not to deal with them.
