Should Tutorials Be Sold?

My skins are pretty damn decent and I give them away for free on the biggest resource board known....Something wrong with that? Sorry to double post.

 

i voted NO!

because as a newb myself i check out tutorials to get better at GFX
if tuts were to be sold here than no newbs trying to learn GFX would even come here for tuts!

thats what i think about it anyways

 

Although I would give away my tuts for free once I start getting better at creating graphics, I believe that it's up to the creator to decide whether or not tuts should be sold.

For those people who believe they should not be sold, there's nothing that states that they should buy them.... So if they want free tuts, they should look for free tuts. That's what I've been doing - learning everything through free tuts and to return the favor, I'll give all my future tuts away for free.

No one's being forced to buy anything, so therefore I believe it's up to the tut creator to decide whether or not their work should be sold.

Today, I've seen a few people with the "I Support Free Tuts" images in their sigs.... But looking through The Marketplace, some of those people are still buying tuts - which will make creators continue to sell tuts.

 

if the tutorial is amazing and not terribly over priced (ex. over 50 creds) then it should be sold. but all the crappy tuts that are over priced but have good outcomes NEED TO BE BANNED!

 

It'd be pretty cool if tutorials were all free, but the problem is not everyone is greatful enough to the creators sometimes and by selling them it sort of "forces" that with even more benefits, so I doubt it is going to end unless they make it against the rules, but even then they can do it secretivley.
Which sounds a lot like prostitution...lol.

 

bah,you sell it tehn a person copies and put it on the net for free. itll end up free soon so i wudent spend money. but if someone wqnt too, go ahead. i think ppl deserve money for hard work

 

and yet another STUPID topic...jesus..man..whats next..so sigs be horizontal or vertical?

 

/\ good question.....hmmmm

 

i said yes.

if all tutorials were free the most of the creators would stop making em and the ones that took a long time there wont be as many anymore.

 

yea hmm should your sig be pro..or total n00b? hmm yess..

hmm yes..damn..im spamming soo much..ohh well on topic..listen ppl we need creds..and how do we get em..sell tuts..but then..if we just stop selling tuts..theres gonna be I SUPPORT FREE .PSDS sigs all over the place >_>

 

if creds are gone what would motivate tutorial makers, i make decent tutorails all the time, and i barely get a ----ty thank you, if u buy a ----ty tut thats your problem.

 

I vote No

I dont argue about fighting.. about this situation but however its turning into spam topic.. Everyone is starting to make it.. i m thinking we should just stay with 1 topic?
