Digital Photography: Markets
In order to set up digital photography as
a micro-revenue source, I need a website that will display and
sell copies of my photographs — so I don’t have to.
The album that I set up is for comments
and display, not for sales. There’s a shopping cart
function available (currently disabled), but no checkout
function. (Open source software! Go figure. Linking in online
commerce is at the top of the to-do list, but nobody has taken
on the task.)
I would like to identify a website for
low-cost royalty-free low-resolution photography that pays
commissions for each sale, rather than maintaining all the
ecommerce infrastructure myself. Leaving infrastructure to
others, I can concentrate on the content, which is the way I
like it.
The list below right is incomplete, and
will be updated as new information is obtained.
What are my minimal criteria?
• Business conducted for the most
part online
• Handles all sales details, paying
commission on sales to photographer
• Accepts & markets low
resolution (less than 6 MP) stock photographs
• Provides feedback if photograph
rejected
• “Large enough”
visibility to garner sales
• An array of licensing options to
increase sales
