Selling Photos/Prints Online ?!?!?!? - 01-17-2009, 04:55 PM


I'm looking to sign up with an online service such as www.shutterbugstorefront.com because I'll be shooting a few different little leagues in baseball... Does anyone have any suggestions on other websites/companies that offer this service?

I use smugmug and love it, but I don't shoot youth sports (at least currently). Asking if online sales works is an unrelated question that you didn't ask.

I sell in a more art-print market so I can't relate to event photography. (I use RedBubble and Imagekind for those markets.) Of the sites I've researched, Smugmug seems like it would meet your needs. I think you get a free trial.
Have fun.

Another recommendation for ExposureManager. They do an awesome job and are very easy to work with. You can check out my site if you's like. Not perfect, but it's been working for me.

I would check out smugmug and they are one of the sponsors of the forum and I think you get a discount being a member of the forum. Look at the bottom of the forum for there thread.

I use fototime.com, you can set up price plans and assign to different albums. Although you have to pay commission to the folks on each sale. To me, it's well worth the commission since I don't have to hassle with credit card transactions, printing, or mailing or delivery. I realize it isn't as attactive as a professional website may appear, however, I've been pleased with the support I've gotten from the folks there.
