Chris, WHY would anyone ever pay to enter your Web site? I looked at it and you give no idea what is contained within. You give NO idea what you have there that is worth $5. I know nothing about what kind of photography you have, if indeed it is photography. You should at least have some teaser pictures to give the viewer an idea of the kind of work you do. No offense, but if you want to charge folks to view your site, you are going to have to spiff up your site a bit. It is kind of plain. You are in competition with pro photographers who have no fee to enter professionally designed, visually stunning sites. Not just the photographs, but the Web site itself. Here are some facts to keep in mind. Almost all of the Web is free. Unless someone is looking for something specific, it is hard to get guests to even register on a site to see its contents. And with your site, I haven't a clue what you have, so I wouldn't register even if it were free. It is just too much effort. I would rapidly go to another site that is less hassle. I wish you well, and I hope I am wrong, but unless you revitalize the site and give folks an idea of what you have to offer, I suspect you had better not hold your breath waiting for the contributions to start flowing in. peace, rand ----- Original Message ----- How do other photoforum members feel about an gallery entrance fee for their own gallery on the web.
