Ok I have played around with the cost of buisness calculator but have a hard time figuring out how it will work for me. I dont ever plan to go professional but have had some friends and family interested in some prints. I am having a hard time figuring out how to price them as I dont really have shoots to figure billable days. Most of mine are nature/landscape type shots that I just happen to take when out walking or a good storm coming in I will get setup for lightning shots. So dont really know how to figure all that on the calculator or how to figure in mark up on certain print sizes. I use miller photo lab and plan to just do a drop shipment to whoever purchases them. Havent decided how to do payment yet either plan to start possibly by just check by mail then work up the print and send directly thru millers? does this seam feasible since I dont plan to make much from this I dont see the point in starting a website and going thru the extra cost for mainly just prints sold here and there to friends and family? But what percent mark up to make it worth my while? Basically trying to recoup some cost of gear. Also in the strange senario where this somehow takes off I dont want to be grossly underpriced and hurt my business by jumping prices too much at once. Hope some of this makes sense and yall can help me out. Thanks.
