Why I Don’t Give or Sell Digital Files - Joy of Marketing : Joy of Marketing: One of the questions that I’m asked most often is, “Sarah…why don’t you sell digital files to your clients?”
My answer to that question is that I’m simply not in the CD-selling business. It’s not a sustainable business model for me to sell an image CD for a few bucks. If I wanted to do that, I’d consider myself to be a hobbyist. Another consequence of selling digital images on a CD is that it’ll push you closer to being a commodity photographer and you’ll be forced to compete against the prices of other commodity photographers in your area and that’s a battle you can’t possibly win because there will ALWAYS be someone out there who is able and willing to undercut your prices and take away your business.
