selling photos
Jan. 21st, 2022 11:42 pmLast week I signed up on Fine Art America. I now have photos for sale. I've only got 14 there so far, and they're all of Scotland. I figured they'd be saleable.

I originally intended to use it for my abstract work, but I thought I'd start with something a little more saleable, and see what happened. It doesn't cost anything to join, but a free membership only allows 25 images. So maybe I'll put that many up and see if there's any interest. If I go the better part of the year without any sales, maybe I'll decide it's not worth it to upgrade.
It's odd going through my photos, and looking for ones that I think would sell. I think my usual work is interesting, but it doesn't seem like the kinds of things the general public would want to buy and hang on their walls. In addition, you need a way to drive traffic. Unless I set up a marketing campaign of my own, I'm relying on people browsing on FAA. This means they would need to do a search, and I'd need keywords that people would actually search for. Of course then I'm one of thousands of hits...
Anyway, I'm not expecting big things. But we'll see what happens.
