Post Where, What, and How Much to sell for?
What websites do people actually make money from by selling photos similar to these ( Flickr: mebemelissa's Photostream )?

What "form" should I offer to sell them in? Frame vs no frame, matte vs glossy, calendars, cards?

How much should I try selling them for? Should I start with a lower price at first?

You're right on that note! One much research, research and more research with all the books they can read.

To answer your question, ETSY is a popular one. I'm not of the opinion that you need to read a book to sell some of your art, people do it all the time.

* You may want to try stock photography sites as well. Less work for you, but it takes a lot of work to make any significant amount of money from it.
