Question from Katy: “I don’t always sell prints online, but having the photos available for embedding slideshows on my site is great. I saw the question regarding selling photos online, but what about just showcasing? All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!”
Vickie: I feel you Katy! I’ve used smug mug for about 3 years. When my renewal date is up I am not renewing in. Like you, I don’t sell much online. And though it may seem like a small amount to some photogs, $300 a year just to have them online isn’t worth the money for me. In the 3 years I’ve had smug mug I have sold prints thru smugmug exactly 3 times online. Everything else was in person. So I am going to go back to printing 5×7 and selling in person. Just going to raise my prices to cover my new expenses.
E Shay: Check out ShootProof!! Switched from SmugMug Pro over to them and LOVE it.
Kim: I use zenfolio for showing my pictures to clients. I just have the basic plan and its pretty cheap.
Tina: Zenfolio is great!!
