I was thinking about trying to peddle some photos online; see if I can make a couple of extra bucks. Does anyone know of or recommend any websites for photo sales?
I use SmugMug, but my sales tend to be directed (people are purposely after my photos to buy) and I do digital downloads only (haven't gotten into printing yet). SmugMug takes 15% of sites if I remember correctly, but you can set your own prices.
Sites like Etsy are good if you're just trying to sell to anyone, including people who might have no idea who you are, but found your photos in a search on the site. I've though about selling on Etsy, but laziness has gotten the best of me. Etsy doesn't take a lot out of your sales, which is a plus.
I use facebook - sounds weird I know. People contact me privately about a specific print via email or personally on FB. Once the $$ is cleared I print and send
@eyebrows I have noticed Istock photo has deep penetration with google image search... which sucks when i am searching for random photos to 'cut-up' they are all copy protected...
I have set up an account with Etsy they charge .20 to list for 3or4months and then take 6%. I to have been lazy and have not listed yet....but I just set up the account a couple weeks ago..plan to get into it more one of these days.
