How to sell your best photos passively online all over the world in 2 simple steps

There was a time not too long ago when only professional photographers could sell their photos. This was the time of film development and F-Stops without the ability to do much, or any post production if say you under or over exposed a shot.

So if you’re an individual with an interest in selling your photos online for licensing purposes and/or for framed prints there are great ways to do it.
90% of the work is upfront.

- Organize your photos so you can easily get to them in one place.
- Pick an online fulfillment company who will showcase your photos and handle the fulfillment of any orders.
You could just stop there and this whole thing would work.
However I went one step further and created my own branded website showcasing my selected photos, and then I link those images to the same photos on one of the fulfillment company’s website for them to handle the rest.
So a step 3…Create yourself a branded website that you control.
Let’s get to it.
Step 1:
Using whatever program you prefer, get all the photos that you think are the best…
