I admit I don't have a clear understanding of lisence agreements. I had a request for one of my photos on flickr and I'm afraid I let it go because I didn't know how to start 'negotiating.' Lisencing terms are a little fuzzy for me. Is there a site I could go to for a quick education?

Being a South African photographer based in Cape Town, can anyone share their story of the successful sale of their photographs, across foreign currency lines and international borders?

I am currently getting ready to send out a usage agreement for an image I sold to the state of Alabama tourism website. They found me on flickr and asked to use it. It almost seemed that they expected to get it free but were than open to my negotiation. I will be licensing it for electronic use for 3 months.

All sensible tips, and ones I can say work as noted. I recently sold a photo, that the editor found on flickr, to San Francisco Magazine, as I noted here - http://flickr.com/photos/nzdave/2066132187/

The ideas regarding using flickr in a more promotional way is really eye opening. I have sold one photo and purchased usage rights on another. The one I sold was for a single use and was selected mostly because it was the right subject not because it was a technically perfect shot. Thanks for this great resource, it should help with future sales.

Thanks for these great tips. I've already implemented some tips and hope to sell more photos on Flickr. I've not sold many but I'm pleased someone out there likes my pictures. Also, I've come across an American aviation advertisement that I suspect has used one of my images in an advertisement. The picture has been heavily modified in Photoshop. The problem is with it being in America I apparently need to register each picture. Thanks AGAIN
