A colleague of mine at work took a continuing ed photography class here in Madison recently. We’ve been carpooling the last few weeks, so there has been ample time to chat about it.
One of the things that she mentioned was that the instructor has a store on
Etsy where she sells prints of some of her photos. I took a look at a couple of them and said, “… OK. People are buying this?” I guess art is one of those things whose quality is fairly subjective. What I look at as a very average photo, someone shopping for low-cost prints might think is just outstanding. It dawned on me that if this person is selling these photos and doing so successfully, I could try my hand at making a few bucks on the side.
So anyway, I’m going to start a shop, but I need to take the time to choose which pictures to list. Listings are twenty cents apiece, so I figure I’ll spend five bucks or so to get started, and see if any of them sell. If not, I’m only out five bucks. I figure if I can sell one or two, that would at least cover the cost of the listings.
Any ideas for which pictures I should try to sell? Obviously, I’ve got many more than those on this site, but maybe you’ve got some ideas. Take a look if you want and let me know.
I had let my Etsy store listings lapse over the last couple of months, and for whatever reason, procrastinated significantly in getting that stuff back together.
