Getting into photography has never been easier with the availability of high-quality cameras at affordable prices these days. In the past, anyone serious about selling photo prints would need to invest a lot of money into expensive cameras and lenses, rent out studio space with the perfect lighting, and then spend even more to edit and print photos.
These days, top-tier cameras are still the way to go if you want to get into professional photography, but that doesn't mean you can't make a living selling prints using a quality smartphone camera and some basic digital editing tools. Printing photos can be done at home using a high-quality printer, but even if you go with a commercial printer, prices are still lower today than they have been in the past.
The issue then becomes how to market and sell your photo prints. If you've run into this issue and wondered what's the most efficient way to overcome these challenges, below are some tips:
Change Things Up
While your prints might look great as they are, why not change things up a bit and create a painting from photo prints? When you create a painting from photo prints using digital editing software and filters, you open up a whole new way to sell your prints as they can then be listed for sale on both photography and canvas art sites.
Leverage Social Media
Social media gives you plenty of opportunities to market your prints to friends and family, but that's not all. Many social media platforms allow you to open independent storefronts where you can sell your prints directly through your profile.
Using viral marketing and targeted advertising, you have the potential to reach people all across the world with your creativity. The best part is that many social media platforms work with printers who will handle the printing and shipping for you. All you have to do is list your prints for sale and put in a little bit of time and effort telling people about your business.
