Hello all. I am going to be shooting a Relay for Life event soon, and will be doing some senior portrait shoots this summer. I need to figure out how I am going to sell the photos though. I'm looking for something basic that I can upload my photos and sell them to customers and keep a little bit of profit to make it worth my while. I can't seem to find any good sites that will allow me to do this for free though. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Smugmug won't do what the OP asked. Their free account doesn't let you sell.

The only one I know of is progalleries.com.au, but being Australian probably isn't of any use to you.

SmugMug doesn't have a free account. Their pro account will certainly do what the OP wants ... it's just not free :)

Oh, I thought they did. Sorry.

For some reason the words "exposure manager" have popped into my head. No idea if it's suitable, or the fees.

Printroom.com is free and good.

If you plan to make $$ then pay a site that will make you look good. Your not offering your service for free...so why expect it from others?

Some sites take a cut of your sales rather than charging a monthly/yearly fee. A nice option if you're not sure how many (if any) sales you'll get.
