    Quote 'Editing 10 photos takes around 20 mins usually'

    How is this possible? - I am extremely experienced with Photoshop as you can see by my signature, having created all the tutorials myself. This claim of editing a photo in two minutes is just not possible if you are talking about taking 10 photos with general problems. I could not edit 10 photos in 20 minutes. Even the most simple of the operations such as red eye would take time (if it was to be done correctly and satisfactory to a paying customer) You must also point out the price of Photoshop as the readers may not know that. Adobe are very active in the pirate stakes.

    I am interested in your sale but still have questions....
    After the sale are there any links that would be removed?
    What are your actual weekly advertising costs?
    Do you get repeat work?
    Do you have a structure in place for editing just one photo?

    Thanks
    John

    I have gotten repeat work but we usually work it out through email in one bulk order through paypal rather than multiple CB payments. I don't waste my time with editing one photo, i always tell the customer the smallest package is 10 for $29.95 and some still pay that and sent 1 photo.

    I dont know what you mean by links that would be removed after the sale? The template is the same on the post-sale page.

    Weekly advertising costs are around $20 as i spend $2-3 a day on adwords. My campaign is very targetted and has a CTR of 3% and a cost/conversion of around $8. So a sale every 2 or 3 days from that. I get other sales from SE traffic as you can see I'm top 10 on MSN and GOOGLE for the term 'photo editing service'.

    *edit*Oh and about the time it takes. Yes i can still say it only takes roughly two minutes a photo. The bulk of orders are color adjustments and lighting and teeth whitening. Even red eye removal has a tool which only takes one click that completely satisfies every customer. Plus for the price of Photoshop CS2. I got it on sale at Best Buy for Christmas last year for $150. If you're a student one can get it for $240 at campustech.com. If you already have it, great. If you have other photo editing software, you can likely do all the same work I just wouldnt know how to do the training.

    On top of everything else listed earlier the winner will receive:
    -3 months free hosting
    -two additional domains: www.bargaindetective.org and webupdatepro.com
    -I'll continue to wear the digitalportrait.net t-shirt i created myself that you can see at cafepress.com/coladesigns. I'll take pictures of me actually wearing it! :)

    alright high bid is at $1400

    also to f3, yes, the reason I'm selling is because of lack of time. I just can't commit to the website what i think it deserves. If I could even spend 2 hours a day on it as opposed to 1, I think i could be made much more profitable.

    for example of SE traffic you can see that digitalportrait.net ranks 7th on google for 'photo editing service' and 2nd on MSN (live.com)

    while i do run adwords, many sales come from SE traffic
