[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 198320, member: 9521"] One of the problems I see right away is the size of your images. They're small relative to the amount of space you have available to use and most images look much stronger and create more impact when they're large and prominent. As for selling photos, it's a tough market out there and an extremely competitive one that requires a great deal of self promotion to get the ball rolling. Send photos of current events or sunsets/sunrises to your local news orgs or on-line news mags, anything to get your name and photos out there to the public. Also, put your framed images in local coffee shops or bar-grill places and venues like this, you may have to give up 30% of it to the shop owner but it will help get your name out there. I know a guy here in SD that runs photo contests on FB for one of his images in a frame. The price to enter is to like this FB page and then to get others to like it. Although I have no idea if he's selling any images but he sure has increased his number of "likes". He also has a twitter page (or whatever you call it) but I avoid twitter, it's too out there for me. [/QUOTE]
