I've been doing research into the paying aspect. Part of my marketing is going to be about having low prices, but paying photographers well. It'll have to be a nice balance. Most websites seem to pay photographers around $.33/image downloaded, which was equating to around 20%. Then users purchasing the images were paying anywhere from $4.10-$10/image. I think I'll be "charging" $2.00/image, and paying photographers $.40/image. Subscriptions will be offered at a rate of $20/15 images, and $50/50 images.
A SSL for one website is $400/year (or $33/month), hosting with payment processing will cost around $110/month (via Amazon, which is based on usage, that quote would be for a website just starting out). This means I'd have to sell 90 individual images (at $2.00/image) per month to break even.
