I suppose many of us would like to earn some income from our hobby, but how would you start off?
I'm quite interested in the idea of getting some photos printed as postcards, visiting some local shops and asking if they'd like to sell them on to their customers. Does anyone do this?
How much would you expect to pay for your postcard printing (and where). Would you leave the cards with the shop and collect the money once they're sold, or would you expect the seller to buy your cards up front? What amount of commission should the seller receive on each sale? How much would you charge?
What sounds like a gentle way into sales, also sounds like it might be a bit complicated.
Another option may be to have some canvas prints done (less hassle than choosing frames?) and see if a shop or two would be willing to sell them for a commission. Again, I have no idea how much I should expect to price them at, how much commission the seller should receive etc.
Is there anyone amongst us that is selling images via sites such as Smugmug or similar? How do you find that method of selling?
I'd love to hear from anyone that is selling their photography, by whatever method!
