Photography Question
A fellow PhotoHunter has a question:
I’d really like to sell my photos, I just don’t know how to even begin going about it! Cards, prints? I’ve looked into stock photography before but it isn’t really my “style.” I take photos because I love it, not because I know an “office” photo meet the demographic for stock photography, if you know what I mean. If you have any suggestions, I’d appreciate them!
If you can offer advice, please do. Thanks! =)

You can sell prints and products with images on them through Zazzle.com (you can take a peak at mine at http://www.zazzle.com/hmariey* . You don’t earn a lot but it is something.

There is cafepress.com and imagekind.com, but I have ’shops’ at them and never sell anything.

I just finished taking a stock photography course. Your comment on taking office pics just becuse it correct. Are you planning to try and sell on your own or use a stock agency. If you plan to do it on your own, it is a lot of hard work. Going through an agency is easier but they do take a big cut.
Comes down to you can only sell what people will buy. Check out some reputable agencies, check out thier fees, and then submit some photos. NEVER pay anything up front.
Hope that helps a bit.

Another place to post and sell photos or art is RedBubble.com. I think in order to be successful selling your art with a POD (Print On Demand) site you have to do a lot of your own promotion and not depend on folks just finding your work.
