Question by Holly: What are the best ways to sell your photography and where do you buy the protective sheets to package them?
I want to sell some prints of my photography. I put some on Etsy and haven’t gotten any responses or even any views yet. Have any of you ever sold your photography? How much did you sell it for and where? Was it successful? Do you know a good place to buy the protective sheets and cardboard backing for a pretty good deal? Any advice for selling photography prints would be greatly appreciated.

Answer by Joe M.
A good starting reference for how to sell your photography is “Sell & Resell Your Photos” by Ron Engh. It’s published by Writer’s Digest Books. Although it’s mostly about stock photography, Engh covers other markets for your photography as well. You might be able to find copies of this book at your local library; your local bookstore; or at Amazon.com. You can also go to Engh’s website www.photosource.com.
The American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) also puts out various publications on how, where and for how much to sell your photographs. Their website is www.asmp.org.
In “Sell & Resell Your Photos” Engh also lists suppliers where you can get the protective sheets and other supplies you would need.
Hope this helps, and good luck to you!
