For those who sell sports images...

and don't have a 'website' of your own, what site do you use for selling your prints?

Exposure Manager. Great customer service and they have their own lab which they started after quality issues with EZ prints. Their print quality is the best you'll find. They have some flexibility in site design. you can also have different prices for different galleries, for example, I have lower prices and a special gallery for coaches. I would suggest that you get a domain ( I got mine from Godaddy.com) That way you do not have to have 'Exposure Manager' as part of your name. It takes a little work to get the site to look the way you want but then changes are easy.Their cost is $99 for a year and 10% of the sales. Credit card processing is included. If you decide to try them and use the link in my sig. We'll both get a discount.

Thanks, Just PM me if you have any other questions about them.

Just threw this in another post, but if you're only shooting high school, consider using highschoolsports.net. Upload your shots, parents/players buy prints, they cut you a check every quarter. Not a bad way to go.. considering it's free to upload and they take care of all of the order processing.

For non HS shots, exposure manager and smug mug are good sites.

I use Photoreflect, and it worked great for the IHSA 2008 State track meet I shot. Over $400 in sales so far

Thanks. It's little league. No high school yet.

So, tell me more about them... you only pay when someone actually orders? Theres no monthly or yearly fee? The fee is 18%, this is correct? Once the order is placed I can have the images printed and I ship them or do they do printing and shipping to the customer?

PhotoReflect

When someone places an order, they deduct 18% right away. There are no fees associated with it to sign up.


You have the choice of printing images yourself or sending them off, and can price each differently. They offer Labtricity, which has about 60 different labs you can sent your prints too. Personally, I use Economy-Prints, as they are one of the cheaper ones because they do not edit the photos at all, and the prints turned out great.

Also one great thing I love about it is the ability to edit the photos within their program (called express digital darkroom) such as cropping, color adjustment, sharpening etc after the orders are placed so you don't have to waste time editing hundreds of photos beforehand.

You get paid every other week by check.

check out my gallery I did for the state track meet: http://dyestatil.photo​reflect.com

Photoreflect as well. Go ahead and set up with a lub too. I just printed my on and delivered for a couple of years. Now I use Richmond Labs, and the workflow is cut waaaaaay down.
