Thank you, for producing all of these videos. I am a police officer in Hawaii and I'm moonlighting as a real estate photographer. Your videos single-handedly provided me with enough information to break into the business. Thank you.
“I’m a Photographer not a debt collector” Heavy feels I’m just going through this and your video showed on my feed coincidentally. I usually deliver the photographs on a pendrive/card But with COVID I kinda limited one on one interaction. This is so cool and would really take a lot of those weight off Thanks for sharing.
Hey, Mike! Your channel is invaluable. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the time you put in toward helping us get our Real Estate Photo & Video careers off the ground. Today I landed my very first client and I'm using PixieSet for the delivery and payment capture. Thanks again SO much! 🙏🏼👊🏼
I use Pixieset also. Works fine for commercial work and for donated work I do for social work. However, I don't use it for portraits because I sell prints and albums, etc., and I deal with clients one on one for that.
Thank you! I use Pixieset for portrait photography, but am beginning to dabble in the REP world. Now I can use what I already have and make it work! Yay!
This looks fantastic! Here’s a question though... have you used their website service too? It seems like they have everything and it looks like a great bundle
Ryan Jubb Hey! I have not used their website service so can’t comment on that unfortunately. Judging on the design and function of what I have experienced though I would guess it’s pretty good!
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Good to know! I still need to build a website, and now that you showcased Pixieset it looks like this may be the all-in-one solution to invoicing, delivering, and hosting!
Enjoying your videos tremendously and learning a lot specially your video vlogs of you on your photoshoots. Are you putting due dates on your invoices? Might have more questions on some of your other videos, great work.
Thanks! I don’t put due dates on anything. The agents need the photos to list usually so it’s not really something I find necessary since with pixieset they have to pay before they are able to download anything.
I am liking Pixieset so far. Thanks for the video. As I prepare to dive into RE photography, client delivery was the next, "what is the best way to do this" question. I was cruising around on PFRE site and came across a blog for the new site, "Show and Tour", which is a new client delivery made specifically for RE photographers. Was curious to see what you thoughts were on the site, that is if you had a chance to check it out.
Hi have you noticed the picture size shrink when uploading to pixieset? I just noticed that when I select a 10mb pictures to upload on pixieset it shows a bar with 2.3mb uploading.
Hi Mike, You mentioned the virtual tour at the end and a few websites. Which do you use? I'm assuming you have two subscriptions, one for pixieset and one for something to host a virtual tour?
I really like this. The only thing is my clients are the realtors and they pay via invoice within 30 days as a company. The only issue is if there is a way for them to download everything at once. The presentation of this is amazing and I think they would like this but downloading each photo at a time would be a hassle for them.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography awesome to see this answered here! Thank you for this! I'm starting my own RE company and there is just so much to learn! Your content has been absolutely invaluable so thank you very much!
What about just water-marking your images to Dropbox, and in your invoice say that as soon as payment is received they will be replaced by non-water-marked images?
I suppose that would work just fine! I think the difference and disadvantage of that is how you are presenting the images to the client. Pixieset has beautiful looking photo galleries and user experience. That's all lost using a Dropbox link.
Hey David, This is exactly what I do when I shoot the first listing for a new Realtor. I want them to see the quality before they pay. This really builds trust. After the first listing, I do the usual: send a link and an invoice. Jim
Hey Mike, great tips on this video! I can't wait to start accepting payments before they get the product! Just curious, are you able to deliver print quality photos/web-mls quality together on Pixieset? Or do you not deliver 2 different qualities?
Unfortunately it does not! 😩 I wish it did. Hopefully in the future it will. For me pretty much 100% of the time if someone gets a video they also get photos so I just charge them for the video in Pixieset along with their photos and once they pay for their photos I'll just email a dropbox link to their video file. It would be great if it was all included in Pixieset but this still works well!
If I include drone video as part of the purchase packet, can the video be included in the group of photos? This is awesome if client only wants photos, but would be super if we could include videos as well.
Thanks man! Great info as usual. I assume you're using the paid version? Gonna pull the trigger on the intro level paid version, mostly so I can tie to my domain. Is this what you do? Not sure if you think free version does the trick. Thanks again for all your videos!
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography thanks! Actually just ended up getting the paid version. It allows for adding your domain and also allows for payment. The free didn’t from what I could see. This is a really great way to deliver tho. Thanks again. Way better than just using google or Dropbox.
Hi Mike! Can we get x percent discount if we use your Pixiest invitation link? Are you still using the Pixiest in 2022 for sharing with clients? Thank for your answer and your all RE videos, all of them are so useful. Greetings from Hungary.
Thanks! Currently I don’t use any sort of scheduling service and I just manually manage my calendar. I’ve thought about it many times but have not really come across a system that I really want to use.
I send my videos via dropbox after I receive payment. I wish it was possible to send through Pixieset. Hopefully they add that functionality one day soon!
This site has changed since you posted this. I sent photos to a client where he and his wife were to pay to remove the watermark. They said there were no watermarks and were able to view them without paying. Fortunately, they are trustworthy and love the pictures and this presentation. The other problem is, on the download size/ resolution drop down, full res and 3600px are the only ones that say no watermark available, which doesn't make any sense. I don't know what this is all about. Any idea on how to correct these issues?
I’m not sure how they were able to view them without watermarks before paying. Sounds like maybe it wasn’t set up correctly possibly. I use the 3600px setting for delivery. Works great for me.
Hey man thanks for this great video. I ran into a question where one of my clients that I have done multiple projects for is asking if there is a way he can view all of his galleries without having to go through every email that I have sent him if he needs to quickly flip from one gallery to the next gallery?
There’s no way to do that I know of. You’d have to access them via each link. Only way would be for you to upload them to one gallery with separate sections.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Hey thanks for the replay man. I figured that was the only way to do it and im okay with it but then you cant upload a video for each section. I also you PASS online photo gallery and you can access all galleries shared with each individual client.
You could go either way really. You can choose the size they are downloaded at from pixieset so If you upload full res images the client can download a lower res version. Whatever suits your personal preference.
They do now allow adding video to your gallery. I just add the video onto the price of the photos and add the video to the gallery so they can see it before purchasing. We they purchase, they get the download for the photos automatically and then I send the video file separately. I indicate this in the initial email when the gallery is sent so they know what to expect.
This may be an obvious answer but once the realtor gets prompted for payment, how do they pay you? Do they use a credit card or something on the website and then you get paid via pay-pal? Wasn't sure how that works, thanks! And thanks for all of the helpful videos!
Thanks! It’s basically the same as if you choose PayPal from any other merchant. It bounces you over to PayPal’s site for a moment and then back after payment is completed.
Hi Mike, I'm at my wit's end and need help. My problem: When my client pays for a gallery that includes photos and video, they only receive a link to down load photos. The video download link never arrives. Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong? Also, thank you so much for your channel, it has help me so much.
Hey Mike! Do you send an additional invoice? Or is the client good with whatever pixieset provides when they lay? For example, my most recent client did photos and the floor plan, I billed it all through pixieset and it’s integrated PayPal. How would you go about it? Do you create a separate copy that’s itemized? Thanks for all your help!
What if they want less photos than the ones that are in the collection? Could you put a price per pic? Or per quantities (1x30, 5x100, 10x190 or sometihing like that?)
Great tutorial buddy. Have you used tourwizard. That's what I use for their photo and virtual tours, I send them online invoice via square payment, once its paid ,I activate the tour page
Alipasha A thank you! I have not tried tourwizard but I will check it out. Thanks for sharing! What I love about this is that it’s automated so as soon as they pay they get the download link immediately. I do invoice for videos and Matterports and things that aren’t photos though and wait for payment and then send. I hope pixieset decides to host videos at some point, that would be great!
Bradley M Vranish yes I have a separate website. First thing clients always ask is how much it will cost so yeah, they know the price upon booking. I do currently do booking manually, yes. Looking to possibly implement a booking service of some kind but haven’t done so yet.
Do do you add a 2.9% fee or something around that for online payment charges? Or do you just eat the cost? It adds up! If you have a way around those charges that would be super helpful. Thanks!
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography been toying around the idea of splitting. So charging client 1.5% processing fee. If they ask what it is I’ll just be honest. But this way it’s split between both parties. I dunno may just charge all to them and see what happens haha.
@@fatheadmediapro I would just build it into the price of your services and not say anything about it. May be a turn off to people if you tell them that and if it’s just built in then there’s no need for the explanation.
Thanks for the video. I sell dog sports photos to clients when I shoot their tournaments as a side gig. I’m finding it difficult creating a nice gallery on my squarespace wildlife photography website and need a better option for clients to look at the photos of their dogs. Once they find the photos, I send them an invoice and once they pay, I email them the final edits direct from my email to theirs. Would this platform work well for me to load up 200 or so dog photos? I also would like all the dog owners to be able to access the same gallery and choose from it. Does this make sense? Thank you.
Hey! No it doesn’t. I’ve since switched to using Spiro (spiro.media) which is dedicated to real estate photographers and handles scheduling and everything else you could imagine as well 😊
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography thanks! lol I've just spent hours setting up Pixieset before knowing about Spiro just now. Pixieset does have booking ability but you are probably correct that spiro is more designed for real estate photographers. Will check it out.
Can you make a gallery for headshot Photos? I want to put dozens of photos from corporate headshots and have them look for there photo from there company on there own and buy there individual photo in that gallery. Is that possible with Pixeset?
I created a Pixieset account but I haven't set it up yet. On the watermark, is there a setting to display the watermark only when viewing the pictures on the site but without it being on the pictures when they order or download?
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography ok thank you. I've never set up a website before but this is something I need to do. I'm not that familiar with pixie set either. From what I understand, they can order pictures from pixie set? Can they download them and have someone else print them?
carl mcneill yes, once they purchase the photos they will receive a download link via email and they will be able to download them and print them or do whatever they like with them.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography I will have to look into this. Thanks so much. I just made an account with pixie but I may look into hdphotohub now. Also curious what software you use to deliver the videos? Do you have a UA-cam video I can watch covering this? Dropbox works but doesn’t look the best, and I looked into wetransfer but seemed very basic
Hey Mike question, I've got my business paypal set so I can get paid the way you're demonstrating. I charged a client $200 and I noticed, I was charged a fee of 7 dollars and change; do you end up paying a paypal processing fee everytime you get paid from a client? Do you have a work around? or is it worth paying the 2.9% every time? I'm sure it adds up! Any input is always appreciated!
Yeah, paying the fee every time. No way around it really no matter what online payment service you use. If you want to avoid it my advice would be to build it into your price. Charge your client $215 instead of $200.
@@elliotlowe9079 I’m assuming you charge $200. How many pictures do you give your clients for $200? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m trying to decide how many I should give.
I do! Its a great tool. I’m in the process though of possibly switching to something more real estate dedicated but haven’t settled on anything yet. I want to incorporate online ordering and scheduling.
I do next day delivery. I wouldn’t go beyond 48 or it will be tough to retain business. Unfortunately it’s the nature of the beast that people want their photos back immediately.

Unfortunately you can’t as of now but I’m hoping they will add that. I just send a separate link for a video via Dropbox.
Do you still use Pixie or are you using something better now?
I still think it's great. I have been recently transitioning to HDPhotoHub because I want to incorporate online ordering and scheduling.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography I will have to look into this. Thanks so much. I just made an account with pixie but I may look into hdphotohub now. Also curious what software you use to deliver the videos? Do you have a UA-cam video I can watch covering this? Dropbox works but doesn’t look the best, and I looked into wetransfer but seemed very basic
Do you use them for your website as well or do you use a different website for your business page?
Also do they do videos as well?
They don’t do videos unfortunately. I’ll send a separate Dropbox link for that. I have a separate website.
Once they pay, they can download them without the watermark?
Yup! The downloads will not have a watermark
Hey Mike question, I've got my business paypal set so I can get paid the way you're demonstrating. I charged a client $200 and I noticed, I was charged a fee of 7 dollars and change; do you end up paying a paypal processing fee everytime you get paid from a client? Do you have a work around? or is it worth paying the 2.9% every time? I'm sure it adds up! Any input is always appreciated!
Yeah, paying the fee every time. No way around it really no matter what online payment service you use. If you want to avoid it my advice would be to build it into your price. Charge your client $215 instead of $200.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography awesome. Thanks for the input. Always the best!
@@elliotlowe9079 I’m assuming you charge $200. How many pictures do you give your clients for $200? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m trying to decide how many I should give.
Do you still use this? (Pixieset)
I do! Its a great tool. I’m in the process though of possibly switching to something more real estate dedicated but haven’t settled on anything yet. I want to incorporate online ordering and scheduling.
Does this method generate an actual invoice for the client? Do you ever have clients asking for an invoice to keep for their records? Thanks!
It produces a receipt but not an invoice. I’ve never had anyone request one really.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography cool! Does it keep track of finances or do you use another program for that type of thing?
@@TGIryan4 no it doesn’t, I use quick books self employed for all my book keeping
Does pixiset change the quality?
Nope! You can have them resize the photos if you so choose
Anyway to route to square?
Unfortunately no, not at this time. It goes through PayPal which I don’t necessarily love but it works and most people trust it.
Hi! How do you deliver video?
usually send a dropbox link for any video files after they pay.
that was great! Thank you!!
Hey Mike, great videos, all of them! What do you consider to be the best delivery time? 48h, 72h?
I do next day delivery. I wouldn’t go beyond 48 or it will be tough to retain business. Unfortunately it’s the nature of the beast that people want their photos back immediately.
