So, I want to use Zenifolio to sell pictures at my set price and have a offsite lap print them so I do not have to deal with printing.

Basically, I want the to order through Zenfolio, pay through Zenfolio, have the order sent from my Zenfolio to the Print Lab (Such as MPIX), have them printed and shipped straight from MPIX to the customer. I want the prices to be set by me, so say $8.00 for a 4x6, I want the cost of printing the picture to be automatically deducted and the rest of the money put somewhere for example a paypal account or bank account.

Can I do this with a trial account from Zenfolio, or must I buy a account first? Or better yet, can I do this with Zenfolio at all?

If Zenfolio can't do it, can some other site?

I am sorry buys, I figured it out. I feel pretty stupid now.

But, I do still have one question, how does Zenfolio get the money to me?

They pay you by check. You can request it, I think it costs $3, not sure.

Yes, they send a check when you want, but it costs you 3$. I've to ask them which is the cost to send it to Europe.

I know you have to buy an account in order to sell photos and make a profit.

IMO its worth buying because even if you set your photos one dollar above stock price you make big profit.

How do you then advertise your photo's to get people to look (and then hopefully buy) them? Or do you rely on whoever just browses through Zenfolio?

You have to do the selling/advertising thing.

It shows how many people got to/visit my site per day. I wish it broke it down into unique hits, but it sadly does not.

How do you translate web stats into sales?

I don't translate anything into sells, I still make money if I don't sell a picture on print. I get paid to go to the events and per hour at said event. It may not be much, but I still make profit.

Those stats are as accurate as any other statistics program you can use. I don't question them, or do I question any kind of information DreamHost provides me.

Compared to Smug Mugs, they are a well known website, and I really don't like the site, so I tend not to go to it or go to websites that use it.
