Better if default price is a quarter rather than a dollar.
A good and easy thing to A/B test.

#12For prints, it would be especially nice if customers also got a frame. Without a frame wall art looks cheap. It's no fun buying a beautiful poster and not being able to display it. If someone knows how to economically ship a frame, selling it together with the customer's choice of flickr art would be interesting.

As four bars wrapped in a poster, with pins (or glue) to put it together, perhaps?

We did this with Yaperture (http://yaperture.com), sort of. The costs associated with the buying and shipping of frames was way too high for the average consumer. So, we compromised and sold the photos with thick museum-quality matting.

#16You think to yourself in the third person?
I assume you meant "second" person. Surely everyone does this. "You don't really want X." "Dammit, Randall, that was a stupid idea." You don't do this?
I think to myself in the first person sometimes, in the second person at others, and even as a group occasionally.
For example my thoughts look like, "I should work from home today", or "Bill, you're a genius", or sometimes like "Why don't we just go see if there's any ice cream left..."

Sure. Who doesn't?
Isaac is always saying to himself, "You should really use the first person singular," but he knows how much we hate that.

This is interesting. I wonder if they do a one-click conversion of Flickr account to online store. And do they sell stock photo rights?
Clearly, there is a lot of money to be made in the photo space. It's universal - everyone has a camera and a hankering to be an artist - me included.

That sounds good expense-wise. Maybe also include a rectangular sheet of clear, flexible plastic to serve in place of the front glass. And one for the matting.
