Heh, a friend of mine asked for 3% of whatever they make from a post card company selling a few of his images.

He sold I think 6 shots and got nearly 1,300 when all was said and done.

So, do I need to write up a legal document? Or is it enough to just tell them in writing (email) that it's non-exclusive, etc.?

Man, it's hard to know how much to charge... Would $50 be too much, to little?

I'd write a separate document contract to be certain, but you can also just use that as your invoice to them. just make sure you spell out the terms (limited run non exclusive use license for specified job). If they want Exclusive use (some companies will because it represents their brand others won't)

You might want to consider purchasing some pricing software. fotoQuote Pro seems to be popular and very thorough. I'm using an evaluation version of Hindsight's Photo Price Guide, it's basic, but seems to get the job done. In this case, for a post card, for a local client, one-time usage license, with a print run of 5000 it suggests $108, or roughly 2 cents per postcard.

I didn't even know such a thing existed! I'll have to check that out—
