As far as Selling prints of your work, there is etsy, cafepress, zazzle, and deviantart. Etsy for me is too much of a hassle b/c I need to actually handle the shipping and printing and everything.
ReplyDeletePersonally I use SMugmug.com as a printer and shipper of my work. They have their bare minimum prices, and you keep anything over that amount. they give you a whole gallery option and pricing plans. Say it costs them $2.30 to print out and ship an 8×10 print. if you price it for $12, you get 10 bucks.
