I am new-comer to this Stock Photography business and after listening to comments from this group, I'm not sure if STOCK photo sales is the way I want to go. I belong to an Art Guild in a nearby city. We have a group of very talented people who really are artists, but in various media (oils, acrylics, fabric, photography, wood carving, sculpture etc) We all have a chance to display our talents and occasionally we even sell something! It's not a "sure thing" that all our work will sell, but the pride that someone likes our work well enough to purchase it is a wonderful feeling. I was blessed to sell one of my framed photos recently for $90 (only a $22 profit after framing expenses and commission to the Guild). I'm not sure if you can really project that personal feeling by selling online. I know technology has come a long way, and internet sales are inevitable. But I have noticed that people who really love and appreciate Fine Art like to see and feel the final product!
