If you know you can sell photography prints online, you are already way ahead of the market. Most photographers stay at hobby level, or dabble in stock photos or weddings, very few realise you can sell your prints online as a regular income stream. The question is how to sell photography prints online? Any why should you?

Well, both the how and the why are easy to answer. Let’s start with the why. Photography is generally a side-gig. It can be difficult to maintain revenue from it, especially, (in regard to the pandemic) when the world shuts shop. No weddings, no models, and sometimes, no outdoors. Selling your photography prints online can provide you with a recurring and even stable source of income.

How to Sell Photography Prints Online

Once you have a collection of high quality, high definition photos, it is time to take it to the next level. Happily, there are systems already in place to make it easier than ever to sell photography prints online. Think about it, in the past you would have to produce your photography, manufacture a frame, print the photo with a specialist fabric printer, attach the canvas, sort out the parcel, send for delivery and hope it doesn’t get sent back. Now, with a system as easy as Photo Canvas Dropshipping, you can digitally upload your photography, sell them as your own online store, and let us deal with the rest. You are now the proud owner of an internet shop with minimal (if any) overheads. Don’t believe it can be that easy? This is how easy it can be.

Whether you have a passion for portrait, a finesse for fashion or a knack for nature, you may feel that photography is your calling. However, you may be thinking ‘no one really makes money with photography right?’ Sure, you’ve seen wedding photographers, but (especially in a time like the pandemic) it all seems like a side joint, nothing truly sustainable. Wrong. This article will inform you not only how you can make money from photography but how you can make sustained money from photography, as if it were a wage. Interested? Read on!

How to Make (Sustained) Money from Photography

In the words of financial guru Robert Kiyosaki, don’t work for money, make money work for you. There are the standard options of making money. You can build a website or social media page advertising wedding photography. You can set up a small studio and take baby photos. You can sell photos to the press. However, this article will focus on something very few photographers are doing, and how those who are reap in the rewards.

Creating your own online store. Sounds crazy? It shouldn’t.

Most people have an old fashioned idea about monetizing passion. Musicians still look to be signed to a record label, even though 95% of record labels have shut shop since the rise of internet streaming. Similarly, photographers may look to be included in a gallery or exhibition. Once again, this is old fashioned and misses the trick: You can be the shop.

That’s consistent money. Why? Because even in the lockdown, internet shopping has thrived.
