Picture posting website needed. - 06-18-2010, 09:46 PM


Awhile back there was a thread which included a discussion of free websites that would host your pictures and market them for a nominal fee. IE: You post, they market, you get a cut, they get a cut. Assuming anyone buys.

I'm thinking about retiring in a few months and would like to post my crappy pictures somewhere in hopes that someone with lesser taste than me might be inclined to buy them and help supplement my retirement. Not looking to get rich (you've seen my pictures). Just something to keep me busy. Off the streets and out of the bars, so to speak.

I can't find the thread. Can anyone help me out.

I like Zenfolio... I've seen and worked on a Smug Mug site. I like it as well though not well enough to switch.

To be able to set prices on Smug Mug to get your "cut," you have to pay above the free hosting cost. Worth it if you sell a lot, but doesn't meet the criteria you spelled out in your OP. The pro account is something like $150 a year. I have enjoyed the service, though.

those sites don't market your photos, you have to send people there. I think what you area looking for is one of the microstock agencies.
