Lisa from YouPic wants to negotiate a price for my photos on my behalf for her clients but needs me to upgrade to a Pro membership. If this is true, then they would more than likely get my work for next to nothing because Lisa needs to please her clients and Lisa would get a Premium membership out of me plus the potential/existing client would have to join or already is a member of YouPic for a fee, so win/win/win for Lisa. With or without a pro membership, I should be allowed to negotiate a price for my work since it will be used commercially and a good potential for me to make probably at least a little more money with understanding how the picture would be used. Overall, I think this is just a ploy to get memberships. I have only been a part of YouPic for five months and the discount offers went from a free month of premium to 50% off per year, then 60% off per year and now 70% off per year. This makes me feel that the membership fee is very subjective and they just need to keep money rolling in. With Flickr, Deviant Art, Facebook, Model Mayhem and Instagram people get ahold of me direct for any use of any of my photos and we negotiate from there. I do not trust YouPic and will not be purchasing a Pro membership, they do not make sense and Lisa the sales rep seems to have a attitude as well, I screen shot in the attached pictures
Tip for consumers:
there are better ways to sell your pictures. Even at 70% off it is $108 per year at YoupPic.com and then it will go up to around $400 per year, but if Lisa is negotiating what the value of your pictures are worth to 'her clients campaigns' how would you ever know that you are being undersold!! The photographer should be in direct contact with the client since Lisa claims that she makes 0% commission. Or, t's all a ploy to get you to pay for a membership, either way YouPic.com sucks!!
Products used:
None, Lisa the sales rep is pushy and argumentative, this makes her very untrustworthy.
