What’s Your Preference?

There are two sites that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere in this forum yet:

CafePress - Works similarly to something like Redbubble (from what I've seen of Redbubble, anyway). You upload the pictures and select which products you want to offer, select your markup by either percentage or dollar amount, and they do all the printing and shipping for you. The thing I like about Cafe Press is that you can sell more than just prints - you can put your photos on note cards, framed tiles, notebooks, calendars, mugs, mousepads, and all sorts of other products. I've only been using it for a few weeks and no sales yet, but I also haven't pushed the marketing too much or added too many products. You really need to get the premium store to make it worthwhile (otherwise you're only allowed to upload one image) - but the premium store is only $6.95 a month. My CafePress store can be found here.

Art Garage Sale - This one is for those of you who want to print and ship your work yourselves. The site takes no comissions, there are very inexpensive listing fees to list an item. It's still a fairly new site, but I think it's got a ton of potential as it grows and if you market your "garage" well. Take a gander at my garage here. Oh, and because they're new, they're running a "no-listing fee" special from now until February, I believe (and a listing is good for three months, so if you list a bunch of stuff now and then relist it in February right before the offer expires, you'll essentially get six months of free trial of the site to build your client base).

This website is not for stock photos which makes it quite interesting. The whole concept is that if you take a photo for someone you tell them to buy it from that site. Eye For Detail Photography | Printed Photo Products - Digital Downloads

I am collecting my best artwork and photography together to place on Canvas Prints Online | Canvas Prints | Photo to Canvas | Photos on Canvas | Giclee Canvas Prints | Manchester Canvas Printing

They print images on canvases and offer 100% commission on top of the normal price set for general customers who upload their image and buys a canvas. They allow you to set the commission at what ever price you like too. I'm going to follow the trend which is to set my commission lower to try and generate sales, which has worked for my friend!

I'll let everyone know how I got on

I am using it. It's alright, but the site is very cumbersome and confusing to figure out. I have had high praise of the images so far, but I have been looking for something more streamlined for a while.

in the era of digital technology black and white are often awake nostalgic feelings of the 20th century, the good old times when the television was just invented, when people read colorless printed newspapers and when people were just imagining cell phones equipped with photo cameras.

All the pro's go to a place called iStockphoto.com. The site can tell you more about itself than I can, but basically you have to upload digital photos and they can then be downloaded (for a price) and the money goes straight to you. It's a great way to spread out your stuff because anyone in the world can access. One catch, before you can start uploading you have to take a dumb little Photo 101 tutorial about what constitutes a "good" photo, but the 15 minutes is worth it.

This website let's you download free editing software (Darkroom) they get 18 percent of sales. They let you pick a lab to be associated with your website. It's real easy. I had to watch the tutorials to get it going. My website is PhotoReflect - C. Bradford Photography

check it out.

This is not meant as an endorsement for a certain website or even to say that somewhere is worth using. It is also not a list of stock photo agencies. Those lists exist everywhere.

With that in mind, let's move onto the list.

Again, if you know of anywhere that should be on the list please let me know somehow and it will be added.
