Higher priced does not equal nicer
A premium asset solves a more difficult customer question. Scarcity, timeliness, production costs, unique access and business feasibility are stronger arguments than just a spectacular sky or color correction.
Signals of premium value
Review each file individually.
A location or situation that is difficult to reproduce.
Demonstrably higher production costs or preparation.

Technically exceptional and immediately professionally deployable.
A topic with a specific business question.
Premium Pricing with volume discounts
Photos and videos count together: 5% off from 5 assets, 10% from 10 and 15% from 25. This also applies to Premium Pricing. Creator earnings are calculated on the selling price after discount.
Choose the price level consciously
A higher fixed price can increase the revenue per sale, but also increase the barrier for the buyer. Compare the file with alternatives and record internally why the higher level is appropriate.
Present the added value factually
Metadata should explain what is visible, special and useful without making up marketing claims. Indicate location, situation, time and technical properties that you can verify.
Evaluate with real data
Use views, search terms, favorites and sales to assess whether buyers are finding and liking the asset. Adjust your strategy based on behavior, not on feelings.
A higher price level is not a badge of quality and does not guarantee sales.
