How Much Should I Price My Covers?

I am thinking about opening a graphic shop and earning some points, but the thing is I don't know how much should I price my covers. How much do you think should I price them? I see that most graphic designers price their covers 10KP, but I don't feel that my cover is all that extravagant to be that high price - plus, it's just a cover. I'm thinking maybe about 5KP to 7KP, what do you think? Here's some examples of the covers I made -- https://orig00.deviantart.net/80bf/f/2018/031/7/8/saviour__fanfic_cover__by_rinyukituji-dc1pem4.png // https://orig00.deviantart.net/c0c2/f/2018/031/9/8/play__fanfic_cover__by_rinyukituji-dbzdhc2.jpg // https://orig00.deviantart.net/fd90/f/2018/035/8/5/8581f86e8155cf2c0f516e1203e9b103-dc26ikg.png

I would suggest that if you're opening a graphics shop, like the previous comments below, don't charge anything. When I first opened my graphics shop, I charged people 5 karma points per poster and more or less based on complexity, but I didn't get much requests... so my shop wasn't too successful.

If you want to earn karma points, what I learned is that requiring people to subscribe and upvote for a request can get you 6 karma points per requester, and that usually works out fine for everyone. :) Some people complain that it's forceful and demanding and a way of hoarding statistics, but I personally just see it as a way that people can give a KP payment without actually having to transfer over any karma. Both sides are happy that way, and usually, the requester is grateful enough to willingly upvote. (I also have a rule where they can un-upvote/subscribe later, so if they're not willing, that's fine too.)

Ah, hope this helps.

If you want, especially if you're opening a graphic shop for the first time, I suggest not charging anyone. Even if it's only 5KP, some people won't request unless it's free. So if you want requests, I'll say go for no charge. Then maybe after batch 1, around 10 graphics, you can start a batch 2 and start with 5KP.

You can start with 5 to 7 KP if you want to. You can still change it later after some time if you want to^^
