So you learned to take a great picture and now you would like to make some cash from them (and of course, share your artwork with the world). Here are three ways you can go about this without costing you a fortune.

–Create your own products using your photos, such as framed prints, greeting cards or t-shirts, and sell them on Ebay. Ebay receives millions of visitors eager to buy, provides easy step by step instructions on getting you set up website also offers advice and tips on selling) and costs are very minimal. You have the choice to auction your product or let your customer “buy now”. Your biggest in this is producing your products.

–Sell products on Cafepress. They provide the products (framed prints, t-shirts, coasters, mousepads, clocks, teddy bears and much more) which you will apply your photos to (just upload and add to the product you choose) and they provide complete service (orders, delivery, complaints). You build your store (through website) either using one of their templates or you can customize your own using HTML. They have a base price for each product and you set the price above that. You are paid the price above the base price. You can open a free store or you can pay a small fee each month and receive more benefits. Thou your products will appear in their Marketplace (which they receive millions of customers) so will millions of other products. So your biggest investment here is to advertise your store. I am not going into advertising here but there are free and low cost ways of doing this ( regarding this matter).

–Submit your photos to online stock agencies such as Shutterstock, Fotosearch or iStockphoto. agencies house large files of images and markets the photos to potential clients. You are paid a percentage or a set price of each sale. You give these clients permission to use your photo (such as in their magazine or on their ) but they can not resell to profit from.

Whichever way you decide to sell your photos, the better the resolution your pictures are, the better the quality. To achieve this, first you must have a high megapixel digital camera. This does not mean you need to buy the top of the line. A 5 megapixel is quite sufficient. Second, your picture should have a high DPI (dots per inch) such as 300. If you want a high quality 8×10 inch picture, you will multiply the DPI by the inch. For instance, 8×300=2400 and 10×300=3000 so you want your picture size (resolution) to be 2400×3000 pixels. You can always decrease the size of your picture but never increase the original size.

Before joining any program, be sure to read their terms carefully. I wish you much success!

Many people dream of quitting their day jobs and actually making a living by selling their crafts. While this may seem like quite the fantasy, it can become a reality.

As you may have guessed, it can take some time and a lot of hard work to get to a place where you can quit your job, yet still pay the rent. Planning ahead now can make that transition easier. Start by setting a goal of when you would like to quit. Yes, you may be thinking yesterday, but set a real goal that gives you enough time to put all the other pieces together.

Once you have your goal, work backwards and set mini goals that will help you reach the main goal. For example, if you need $4,000 per month to cover all of your bills and give you some wiggle room, when do you want to be earning $3,000 or $2,000 per month? Accomplishing these mini milestones will push you forward when you feel less than motivated.

Now that you know how much you want to earn and the date you want to earn it by, it’s time to start figuring out where you are going to sell your crafts. Some local options include craft fairs as well as local retailers.

Selling online through eBay or Etsy makes setting up shop quick, easy, and affordable. Don’t forget to establish your website, though, as having a (website address) with your name or business name will make it easier for people to find you. If you don’t want to set up an website, you can link to your eBay auctions or Etsy shop through website.

There are many other places to sell your products online, such as online craft fairs and online boutiques. Don’t be afraid to go after wholesale contracts with retailers several states away or even across the country.

One thing that you might not have thought of was selling business to business. Many businesses need gifts and promotional products for their customers and business associates, and if you offer a clever and unique item, the business may buy your items in a large quantity. Even reliable, small orders from businesses every month would be a welcome event.

There are so many ways to reach your goals. Creating a few goals and a marketing plan will be the road that leads you to living out those dreams!
