Creating my own service

[livelarry]

Hey guys,

i´m starting next month a photoshop service very similar to Tucia for the German and a little bit later for the spanish market. Now You think I have a lot of experience in working with photoshop but that´s not the case. I´m doing Internet Marketing since 7 years and i see great opportunities on the non-english markets. You probably think I´m crazy to open a photoshop business without any understanding of it but i want to work together with a bigger dating site and think that it is very easy to get my first clients.

But I need Your help:

*How much does Tucia more or less spend for a basic retouch and their extended service? I know they pay freelancer (like i will do) but i have simply no clue how much I should pay the photoshop artists. How much time does a good photoshopper need for a basic retouch like the ones from mentioned company? I will probably start with similar prices like Tucia.

*Should we create own tutorials for our company or are there already good tutorials i can provide our workers?

*We want to hire somebody (perhaps from this forum) to manage and rate our photoshop artists in the later stages but in the beginning i will do it. What should i keep care of when hiring a photoshop expert?

*Do You have some advice for my project?
