Premium membership
Gives you access to exclusive features and unlimited storage!

Standard membership is limited to 70 artworks hosted at once. As a standard member, you need to delete older entries in order to post new ones. With premium membership, you get unlimited storage and you can keep as many entries as you like on your account.

Premium membership can also be purchased for others. Give it as a gift to friends and family or sponsor your favorite artists on inspi.re by purchasing a premium membership code and activating it on their profile.

In addition to unlimited storage, premium membership also gives access to the exciting extra features detailed below.

An ad-free experience

Premium members have the ability to fully disable the advertisements shown throughout the website. This new option appears on the settings page once you've activated your premium membership.

Advanced statistics showing your performance

Visualize instantly the progression of your performance over time. See how the average amount of stars your entries receive fluctuates. Get to know the average percentage of people you've outperformed in competitions. Access the exact breakdown of votes on your entries.

You can even download the underlying data in CSV format if you want to use it in Excel or any spreadsheet software. Make your own calculations and get to assess your own level better,

Custom URL for your profile

Premium members can pick a custom URL for their profile, such as http://inspi.re/gilles Custom URLs are easier to remember and make your online presence on inspi.re more personalized. You can pick anything you like as a custom URL, as long as it isn't already in use by another premium member,

Custom markup for your canvas print sales

In partnership with CanvasPhoto.us we offer the ability for members to sell canvas prints of the art they post on inspi.re. Standard members have the choice between selling the canvas prints at retail price - earning no margin - or to add a 10% markup that can later be transferred to their paypal account. Premium members have the ability to set any value for the markup they add to the retail price.

Free advertising for your communities

As a premium member, the communities you administrate are automatically promoted with free advertisement displayed throughout the website. It's a great way to bring the attention to your communities and to attract new members. You can see just below an example of what the free community advertising looks like,

BEGINNERS ONLY
Hi and welcome to Inspi.re!

If you’re a budding photographer and/or you’re feeling tentative about your photographic skills then this is the community for you! The main aim here is to advance, so all of you should be prepared for constructive criticism and helpful suggestions for improving your work.
(For the more advanced Inspi.re photographers, we respectfully request that you refrain from submitting entries to this community for obvious reasons, but we hope we can count on your extensive knowledge and expertise to provide friendly support and on-going encouragement.)

We actively encourage entries taken both on compact cameras (point & shoot) and single lens reflex cameras (SLRs). Many excellent and experienced photographers use compact cameras and have enormous success with them, so don’t be shy or embarrassed about whatever camera you’re using!

Anyone can suggest themes for this community, but please bear in mind that these should be suitable for beginners, so we suggest keeping to the basics, ie. portraits, still-life, landscapes, flowers, etc.

One of the best ways to become a better photographer is to look at other people’s work. You can do that on this site of course, but we urge you to also trawl the ‘Net for photo galleries and sites that offer (free!) photographic tips & techniques.

Here are just a few helpful sites;
http://digital-photography-school.com/
http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/
http://www.thephotoargus.com/

And this is a very good site if you’re new to SLRs;
http://www.digital-slr-guide.com/

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions on ways to improve this community, please feel free to contact us.

Good luck and have fun!
Ruth and the team.

Purchase with a credit card or a paypal account

Upon clicking on one of the buttons below, you will be redirected to paypal for payment (a paypal account is not required). After your payment has been processed, you will receive a premium membership code by email. That code (which you'll then use to activate your premium membership or to sponsor someone) will be sent to the email address you enter on paypal, or the one already registered with your paypal account. This is important, since you might be using a different email address for paypal and for your inspi.re account.

Purchase with a bank transfer (Europe only)

If you have a bank account in Europe, you can make your purchase with a bank transfer in EUROS (we don't accept any other currency by bank transfer) to the following bank account:

Account holder: Gilles Dubuc
Bank: Société Générale
Bank address: Société Générale - 29 Bd HAUSSMANN - 75009 Paris - FRANCE

BIC-SWIFT: SOGEFRPP
IBAN: FR76 30003 00733 00051644848 76

Please refer to the pricing information in euros mentioned above on this page to see how much you need to send. Please specify your user name or email address clearly in the bank transfer information, otherwise we won't be able to send you the premium membership code. Due to the delays associated with bank transfers, it will take a few days before you receive the premium membership code by email if you do a bank transfer,

Ways to get free premium membership

By spreading the word about inspi.re, you can earn free premium membership if the people who join thanks to you become active. There is no limit to that offer and you earn 7 days of premium membership for each new active member!
