Hmmm...$5 per sale for the photographer? Is this supposed to be a good thing?

5 bux is a terrible deal if you are a pro.
but 5 bux is not bad if you are an amateur and have thousands of photos of nothing but food, drinks, and traffic in the phone doing nothing.

Wow, just wow.

Don't do it.

I don't like the idea of a corporation or other entity profiting from the use of an image in their advertising and then only having to pay $5 to the photographer. I'm sure the advertising agencies will love you for it though.

Yes, there would be some pride in seeing a billboard or magazine ad displaying your image with "Drink your Ovaltine" plastered across it. I'm not sure how I would fell knowing I'd only made $5 on the deal, but maybe this is the new business model for people who produce creative works. We can call it the "let everyone else make money off of your work" model.
