Where can I find a website where I can put my photographs and others can order prints from the website?


I am not a professional photographer but would call myself an accomplished amateur. I am often asked to take photos for friends and family and post them online. I have been putting them on Flickr. I would now like to post them somewhere when people order prints, I would get a kickback from them. Thanks.

If they are all photos of people then I have no idea.

If you also have photos that could be used in advertisements or website designs, you may want to check out the sites listed here: http://www.smilelikeumeanit.com/stock.ht...

dotphoto.com

FREE!

Walgreens.com
CVS.com
Walmart.com

pretty much any store that does printing. just give out the password, and id. or send them an email.

I know there are services such as Pictage where you can create galleries and have people order photos. You get most of the money from the sale of the print, but Pictage makes *its* money in a monthly fee of at least $50.00.

Snapfish allows you to order prints of your photos, but I'm not sure if you can get paid for them. My guess is that you have to pay Snapfish for the printing and shipping.

You might want to check into microstock agencies. This is a fun and educational way for a photographer to learn the nuances and subtleties of taking salable photos and marketing themselves as well. Try shutterstock.com and istockphoto.com, and read up on their current rules for submissions. You can make money off of your photos there, but it's a tough game and requires a lot of dedication and planning. But it's very fun, and the community of photographers on each site is helpful and friendly!

photobucket.com
facebook.com actually lets you do it to if u look at the links by the picture too

I'd like to recommend a website called RedBubble to you. They have based their entire business model on exactly what you are asking for. Self described as a 'creator controlled publishing tool' They will host your photographs or artwork for free, on a website similar in layout to Flickr, but graphically more appealing. Similar to Flickr, users can comment on and discuss each others work, quite often you'll find many sales will be to other RedBubble users.

They can sell your artwork as:
1. Framed Prints, with a variety of frame types, matte, and frame colour.
2. High Gloss mounted prints
3. Posters
4. Canvas Prints
5. T-Shirts
6. Greeting Cards

RedBubble do not charge a commission as such, nor charge you any monthly fees. What they do, is specify a base price for each type and size of product you wish to sell. You can then nominate your chosen profit margin, and thus the final price of your product.

Customers can purchase by credit card, supported by PayPal.

You can either rely on sales from directing people specifically to your gallery, or business from those people who are searching/browsing for a specific style, colour or subject matter.

RedBubble will credit your profit monthly , by direct deposit or PayPal (credited whenever they reach or exceed US$20) . If you choose, they can also pay you by cheque (when profit exceeds US$100).

Before anyone asks, I'm not affiliated with RedBubble in anyway. I'm just a very satisfied, and very impressed user. They've made this work really well. Have a look. I've provided links to their homepage and FAQs below in sources.

Hope this helps.

I use Exposure Manager, and have been pleased with the quality of prints and price.

$40 gets you a website. You determine what products to sell, you set the prices, and upload your thumbnails. If you like, you can register your own domain name and create a subdomain through them, so that your customers go to your website (for instance, www.galleries.myphotography.com) instead of having to go to someone else's site (for instance, www.flickr.com/myphotography). This looks more professional, to me.

Your customers choose photos and place an order. Exposure Manager processes the credit card, prints the images, and ships them to your customer. You get a check for the profits, less a small commission.

I'm not affiliated with Exposure Manager -- just a satisfied customer.

www.photoreflect.com

You upload and post the images for free, give people the address to go and look atthe pictures.

You can either print the images yourself or have one of the photoreflect partnered labs do it and send it out.

Photoreflect takes a percentage of the sale.

If you sell nothing, it costs you nothing.

I use smugmug.com.
