As a photographer, I’m always looking for ways to feature my photos and make some income from them. I dabble in stock photography, I sell photos directly to people, I sell calendars and books, and I sell my photos on print-to-order sites like Redbubble.
I am being compensated with a gift certificate for writing this post. Redbubble has put no conditions on what I write and these are my own honest words. Naturally, I will earn some money if you purchase items on Redbubble from my portfolio.
I like “hands off” sites like Redbubble because they do all the work of making the items and shipping them, and all I have to is upload my photos, give them a description, keywords and so forth, and my work is done.
Redbubble is pretty simple to use. After you create an account, you can upload as many photos as you like, at no cost to you. Once they have been uploaded, you select which products you wish to sell – from prints to coffee mugs to shower curtains and much more – and what markup you want on each product. Redbubble has a base price and you add your own markup, and they give suggestions on what markup to use. You can customize your image for each product; for example, an image might not “fit” well on a coffee mug but looks great as a print or postcard, or needs a different crop for a shower curtain.
For me, the best part is when you receive an email that something has sold… and you don’t have to do anything at all!
