Selling an Article with a Stock Photo?

Post by airwolfe777 »

Question: I am adding some artices to CC, but I also happen to be a stock photographer. I am inserting appropriate photos along with my articles for any prospective buyer. Am I allowed to do this? I do own the rights to these photos. Should I be charging more for articles with a photo included? How much more?

Thanks in advance for your help!

To be completely honest, submitting photos with articles doesn't help them sell or increase their value. Customers can't see the photo, and usually they choose to illustrate the content they purchase in such a way that it fits their website. Better just to offer photography separately. Hopefully, in the future, the site search will integrate photos and articles so customers can search for both at once.

Thanks,
