With success???????????????????
What do you determine to be successful? $50, $500, $5000.
I have never found an on line service that can top one-on-one sales.

And sell them in what way? Stock? As images? As art? As posters and other trinkets?

There are any number of sites that allow you to create some sort of individualized site for yourself, that will take the order online, print out customer orders, ship the order, and send you a check - much like CafePress.

One of the sponsors of the TPF is SmugMug. I've set up my own site through SmugMug (www.rgvsportspix.com) and have been very happy with the service, the quality of the prints, and the customizability of my site. Other good services are Exposure Manager and DotPhotos.

Some folks hold the opinion that you should set up your own site and do your own printing. It really depends on what you want and how much time you have.

Thanks for responding. I guess I should have provided more details after reading the questions that were asked back from me.

Success??? That's a good question. What would be a successful amount? I think I would be excited about my first sell. But, I never thought about putting a dollar amount to it.

My photography would be more: postcards, greeting cards, posters and art.

Thanks again...

Getting noticed on CafePress is the hard part ... keywords, keywords, keywords

and some patience.
