I have put some of my images up as being available to be bought as prints, but as far as I know, no one has ever bought one. I was wondering if any of you have a print account (or a regular account) and have managed to sell any of your art work or photography through Deviant Art?

I tried the prints section a while back, but it was a little, dare I say it, lame for my taste. I had better luck with Cafepress, because people love buying clothes. However, Cafepress wasn't making me a lot of money, because, even if I sold a shirt for $15, I got only $1 profit off anything, and I only sold maybe two or three items. Ever.
MyLot seems to be the best way to make money off being online, because you don't even have to be creative. It's all about being extremely active, and I'm taking advantage of that. You should, too!

I've had two requests for prints, but I didn't make them available because I knew the resolution was too low for them to be made into prints. However, it inspired me to make other work available. So far they haven't sold and I doubt they will honestly. I've heard that it's not really worth selling on DA unless you have a premium print subscription. I have a regular subscription and you don't have as much control over your prints with a regular subscription. It's not realy about the money for me as much as the recognition and the honor of knowing that my work as grown enough that I can actually sell my stuff. I'm thinking of upgrading to a premium subscription next year sometime, so we'll see.
