You can sell your packages at any price you feel is appropriate. However we recommend keeping your cost in the neighborhood of a couple hundred dollars. Create multiple packages, some with more pictures and content then others, and keep your price range wide. We recommend having 4 packages, one at each price point: $50, $100, $150, $300. So in all you will have 4 packages listed. This will help you get seen on a wide range of searches when publishers are filtering.
