Hi everyone
I’m the creator of BrandFox. I created the service partly as a way for me to get better at coding, and also to see if I can help brands access better content for their marketing material, and for Instagrammers to make some money.
It’s been great fun making BrandFox but I’d love to hear any feedback at this early stage!

Hey!
Yes, prices are fixed at $10 for all images so that brands can budget easily.
This is something I may play around with at a later date but at the start I thought that flat-pricing would be the most straightforward option!
Also, if an image isn't available then BrandFox comments on the relevant image to let the Instagrammer know that someone wants to buy it. If they log in and click 'accept' then the brand gets the image and the Instagrammer gets their money :)

Hey
Good point! You actually own all your own content on Instagram and so can sell it as you wish.
When you sign up to Instagram, you grant them a broad set of rights - specifically a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable,worldwide license to use any images you post, but ownership remains with you.

Hope that clears it up :)
