Flickr vs. Competition

[brianrosen]

Hey everybody!

I have just gotten into photography and I have to decided between flickr or something else. I would like to be able to sell my photos, like what you can do on SmugMug, but I don't want to pay $100+ for it. I was wondering is there was a site that let me sell my pictures? Also, is there a site that is better than flickr?

Thanks,
Brian

zenfolio. 100 bucks a year.. for pro and set your own prices.. otherwise there is the premium that is cheaper, you can sell photos but you wont beable to make a profit because you have to use the base prices.

I do not know if it is still active but in the smugmug discount code box typing the word "Flickr" got me the 1st year of smugmug Pro for $75

For me, I have my own domain and designed my gallery myself. I use Paypal for payments. That said, my market is nature/landscape/wildlife, so your mileage may differ!

I have a flickr and SmugMug site too , but I use it to funnel my pictures to my website.

I use Exposure Manager and it's worth the $100 plus 10% so that I don't have monthly bank and credit card fees and commissions along with added paperwork. They ship direct to my customers with with my branding, even on the return address label. I have my domain through GoDaddy and it's mapped to my EM site. My customers have no idea who I use. All they know is that it's a Pro lab.
Most of these sites will give you a free trial

Here's a discount link for EM and I know that the other sites also have discount's through people who use them. Try a couple out.

If your work is saleable and you are serious about selling the smugmug pro fees will soon be paid for by your sales.
