Ok so it all started out by me taking photos of my cousin playing High School soccer, I slowly had parents asking me if I would be willing to sell photos, I said sure. But now I current use flickr to host my photos,nothing special, but you can't sell on flickr. Now that I shot the last game of the season and I am ready to put up the photos for sale. My question is where can I put them so that they can go and purchase them? Maybe buy prints to their liking or download the digital image. I have no clue where to start looking, I was thinking about smugmug power for now but then if they buy prints will I make anything off them or is smugmug pro worth it to make a profit off the sale? What about photoshelter, or has anyone used fotomoto?

If you guys could please point me in the right direction with some advise to get me going ton the right path I would great appreciate everything. Looking to probably get images up and running by the end of the week if possible. Already have 303 images edited and ready, just need to process the last game and everything would be ready.

Thanks in advance.

I like Zenfolio.

You can have a slide show with music. There are several templates to choose from, the photo galleries can be arranged in to a logical order, and you set the prices. There is a free trial period for like 30 days.

I've seen SmugMug and feel that Zenfolio has more to offer. They even offer software to take care of the business accounting end of it for taxes.

I use Exposure Manager for 2 different accounts and have had great service and the quality is good, too. There is a trial for all of the photo hosting/selling sites. I would take advantage of all of the trials and find which one suits you best. I like the fact that I can customize the headers/footers in ExpMan to make it look more personal.

Here is my referral code if you're interested:
