Hello, I'm brand new to POTN.
I have had a photography website/blog up for about 6 months, and it has gotten fairly popular. I'm very happy with it, and now I am even getting comments from people saying I should sell some prints of my work on stuff like Redbubble. I don't have any experience with this, so basically I am asking what sites would you recommend for selling prints of your photography online, that are similar to the idea of Redbubble. Should you use more than one? Can you set prices? It would be best if they would handle shipping, processing, etc. Thanks so much for the help, I greatly appreciate it!

I have sold on Fine Art America. It works very well, as they do everything for you and all you do is upload and keyword the images, set your prices, then collect the money. But no one will ever find your work - and buy prints of it - on any similar site unless you are working your butt off to generate sales. If someone you know personally comes to you and asks if they can buy the print, then you direct them to FAA (or whatever site you use), and you will get the sale.......but it's not like there is anybody out there that is just going to happen to be looking to buy prints, find your stuff, then buy it. It just doesn't work that way.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".
