Many of you have asked for more about how I sell my photography prints. So here it is – just in time for the peak art-buying season! If there's enough interest, I'll do a series of more in-depth videos on this topic. Let me know!

Thanks for being one of those individuals who share really vital information and not just create a click-bait video to just gain followers and provide vague information. Thanks for sharing, I hope you have more ideas like this and that you share more with us who have no clue about what to do in circumstances like this!
The best to you on your career!

Hi Scott, I appreciate this video. I just wanted to share that I have been selling my art as prints online since 2000. I found it was much better to outsource the printing because it takes a long time to perfectly pack and ship your prints. I found my printer by experimenting and testing out companies. The one I finally chose I've stayed with for all these years because that's all he does is print art, then packs it and ships it. And he does it well. When the customer receives their print the return address is mine so it looks like it came from me which is blind shipping.

The difference between you selling prints and most other photographers is that your images are exceptional.

I really like your calm delivery. This is a good video. Thank you for all the tips. Starting out with prices in the $100 range makes sense for new people.

Scott, that was great! I’ve been a full-time professional photographer since 2005, shot international magazine covers, six-figure ad campaigns and have been sponsored by major photo industry companies and yet, I’ve never been able to sell a print. Thanks for the inspiration. Liked and subbed!

This is the best video I’ve seen recommending an online selling plan for artwork/photography. Many thanks 😊

I've only sold 1 print through my website, everything else was during solo exhibitions or mouth to ear. It's frustrating because I know people love what i show, on average I sold 50%-60% of everything hanging on exhibit walls each time i did a show, so if people see in real they like, take time to appreciate it. But damn I agree with you all, online is tough, drown within the millions of other photography websites selling prints too.

This guy seems so genuine and light hearted. I just subscribed and I would almost like to think he smiled when he saw it. The same feeling I get when I get an Etsy notification that someone so much as favorited my work. Thank you for this video, Scott.

Great information! Photo Organizing services are another way that many photographers have added a new income stream to their work.

One thing you should definitely be proud of is this video. Outstanding content.

Scott! Man! 10/10 video! The mentioning of the "Peak" art sales months was fantastic information. Gonna save this video to watch back when I feel discouraged or just need to hear it again!

[JPJordan]

Thank you for posting this inspirational video with great ideas!!

[chris_devlog]

I appreciate this video so much. I've been a photographer for so long and haven't tried to sell any of my stuff because it's overwhelming and I'm not business minded. Your video broke it down in a really nice way and has inspired me

[boristahmasian]

Scott, you made my day! I have been looking for a video like yours for sometime and have had no luck. This is by far the best crash course on selling photography I have ever seen. I have not had a chance to explore your site yet but I love the images you are showing in your video. Thanks a million.

[rasecroel]

This helped a lot...just finished my website, and about to start this adventure of selling, printing my self, packing and loving the process....thank you for your video...specially the pricing part....👏👏👏👏

[karlanapedersen]
