everyone it's Eric here with a quick
video on how to sell your photos online
if you're someone like me and you love
travel and photography you may have
thought about in the past how you could
sell some of your snapshots for revenue
and if you're someone who sell who
shares on Instagram maybe get lots of
likes and comments on your photos and
maybe people even asked you oh man do
you sell prints
that's what used to happen to me and I
didn't really know where to start
so what I'm going to share with you in
this video are my 5 top websites for
selling photography and I'm also gonna
connect you with the training on how to
build your own photography site on your
own real estate on your own domain that
gets consistent traffic so you can get
your photos the traffic they deserve get
your photos to the masses and then turn
your passion into revenue so let's jump
into it I'm not going to go into super
detail with each one of these sites so
I'm going to let you take care of that
at your leisure but I will put the links
to all these sites in the video
description if you're watching this on
youtube or if you're watching this from
I work from your laptop comm site you
can see the links of the article so here
we go the very first one is alameen alum
EECOM and alum ii is very very popular
site for selling your photos over 125
million images in their collections so
very very popular photo selling site and
they have one of the highest
Commission's to photographers and 50% of
each photos sold that alone was the
reason I signed up with these guys they
determine the price of your photo once
uploaded and they are non-exclusive
which means you don't have to give them
exclusive rights for your photos you can
sell here you can also sell elsewhere so
alum EECOM they're a really solid one
the second one is shutterstock
shutterstock.com these guys a lot like
alameen they are very popular available
in 150 countries globally with members
with a hundred and ninety four million
photos in their collection now their
earnings range from 25 cents all the way
up to over $100 depending on the
customers license so while they don't
have high
Commission's per photo that Alameda
they're also non-exclusive so you for
selling it al-amin why not sell here -
why not sell them both that's what I do
and that non-exclusivity is really
really powerful again Shutterstock very
very popular globally the next one that
we want to cover is iStock photo
istockphoto.com the Commission's on
their photos range from 15% all the way
up to 45% and they're also very popular
because they have a thriving community
forums and the great thing about forums
guys is you can go in there and use that
for inspiration for your own photos I
love going in on something like
Instagram even I love seeing Instagram
why is this so popular because you're
not just sharing your photos you're
seeing other people's photos so don't be
afraid to go in and check out what other
people have because it can really give
you some inspiration and with
iStockphoto
they offer both exclusive and
non-exclusive partnerships with the
exclusive partnership royalties ranging
from 22% all the way up to 45%
istockphoto.com the next one is one I
really really like fine art America
these guys are really sought and what I
love about fine art America is we're now
going into the fine art type photos what
I love about that is when you can turn a
photo into a canvas you know you you're
completely changing what you're seeing
and turning it into your own vision I
absolutely love find out of America calm
for that if you take those types of
photos they offer all kinds of mediums
for you to sell your photography you can
go from framed prints canvas prints
acrylic prints metal prints art prints
posters all the way to putting your art
on throw pillows duvet covers shower
curtains phone cases these guys are
really really solid and what's great is
they take care of all the framing
shipping and selling details that's big
for me because I just want to
concentrate on the photography I let
these guys take care of all the other
details and so way these guys work you
determine the markup on top of their
base price
oh man if you guys haven't seen this
movie totally off I'm subject here this
is a great movie okay let's get back on
the road they offer a markup on top of
their base price so for example if they
have a base price for a 24 by 36 canvas
print at $50 and you set your markup at
$25 then that would mean the buyer would
buy for 75 and you earn 25 so really
really solid solid for fine art
photography fine art america.com and the
last one we want to cover here is
another very very popular one and one
that I really like a lot PhotoShelter
and this is great if you want to sell
your photos on your own site then this
is absolutely for you PhotoShelter it's
an e-commerce platform that integrates
into almost any website or blog and
what's great about that is you have full
control over how your photography is
displayed the photo the platform
includes cloud storage for your photos
some decent search engine optimization
and integrations for sharing over your
favorite social media networks so it
really does cover all your bases and
just like let's fine art America like I
said you have full control over how many
images are displayed and there's no
competitors side by side that your
audience is gonna choose them over you
so because of that fact it's really
important to understand how to build
traffic to your site and so because that
reason I cannot recommend highly enough
my absolute go-to for a training
platform for learning how to build a
website in this case they're going how
to build a website for your photography
and then learning how to get real
traffic consistent traffic to that site
and get your photography the traffic it
deserves I'm going to put a link if
you're watching us on YouTube you can go
to the YouTube video description and you
can create a free account with this
training platform it's a training
platform and community that I'm a part
of that teaches you exactly how to do
this it's very eye-opening spectacular
create a free account with them see take
it for a test drive see if it's for you
and you if you go through my link you'll
actually get me
as a coach but I'll put that link in the
YouTube video description or if you're
watching this from work from your laptop
comm you'll just see it further down in
the article and what I love about being
able to put your photography on your own
real estate is you're not putting it on
someone else's site this is your domain
this is your real estate and you have
full control
now also PhotoShelter allows you you can
see right here that you can they can
help build your website for you where
it's choose from one of our nine website
templates and build your site in minutes
that's a solid option however I tend to
prefer having my own domain and having
myself my pictures that they're mine
right on my real estate so if that's
something that interests you create your
free account with the training platform
that I put the link to in the in the vid
description and you're all set with that

you have consistent real organic traffic
