Hang on though...what you need to remember is that while you'll only get 30%-40% of something sold on Daz that doesn't mean you have to automatically raise the price. What you're hoping is that selling on DAZ will generate more volume...so if you keep the price the same but sell 4 times as many you wind up making similar money. If your goal is to make as much as you can per sale then your pricing will be different than if your goal is to make a certain total per month or per model. With the quality of your work I think you have a chance to be seen as one of the premier modelers in DAZ's Bryce arsenal. You need to see what they'll let you do and not do interms of connecting buyers to a site outside their control. Or, at a minimum, giving you access to contact information for Buyers. You could possibly put your web site info in a read me file that goes out with the models but I am not sure how many of us read those. The other thing to consider is timing of your releases. Just because you have a lot of models to sell right now doesn't mean you have to put them all on the market right now. You might consider using DAZ to create a market, and a following, by only releaseing one or two series or one or two models there...especially if you can redirect buyers to your site. Releasing models over time gives you a mechanism for brining customers back time after time...like the DAZ monthly freebie, Baument's updated freebie, etc etc Putting all the collections out at once means you'd have people come look who can't afford right now. You'd then have to hope they remembered you when they COULD afford it. Putting stuff out monthly, or periodically, gives them a new reason to come look every time you release. ok, I'll stop...sorry...
