Selling personalised email photos?

What are you asking here? Are you selling them? or are you looking on information to sell them?





Clarity works wonders.

EDIT





I can't say that I have ever heard of anyone selling email photos, but you could always tell people to send you check or money order for them and you will email the image to them. I don't really see how that will make a lot of money, since that person could then, very easily, email that image to everyone and you loose out on residual sales. I think you best option is going to be to sell real prints. Sure, someone could scan it and then email it to everyone, but most people don't want to go through the trouble of doing it. Plus, any digital image that will be good enough (as in file quality) to print will have to be so huge that it could take an hour for those on dial-up (and yes there are still people on dial-up) to get it.





Here are a couple of people who sell online images.





CafePress will allow you to sell photos, calendars, mugs, shirts, etc. with your image on it, prices vary between $4.99 to $17.99. The section for prints and greeting cards is:

Photographica has a store section that allows you to sell photos that you have posted on their site. You set the price (they take a very small percentage off the top if I remember correctly) and can have a link from your site to your store on their site. Not a bad deal, but depending on the type of photo you are selling, this may not be for you (they really frown on "adult" material - for example, but some do have some very good artistic nudes). Their site for the store it:

Then there is e-Bay. I don't know a lot about that, but it works well for hundreds of thousands of people a day. They have an auction site for photos at http://photography.search.ebay.com/photo... and of course you know you set the price there and they take a bit off the top.





Then there is Yahoo! Photos (http://photos.yahoo.com). purchase online and pick up at Target or have them delivered to you. I am not so sure that I would go with that option, but it doesn't hurt to look into it.





Good luck. When you get it set and start to offer for sale, let me know, I am always interested in seeing what other photographers are doing.
