I'm thinking about selling some prints and I wanted to see how other people go about doing so. I want to sell them at a booth next year in our festival type thing, but I also want to sell some online before then. Do you have a website that you use? Do you print your own photos and mail them out or do you order them from somewhere else [or does the website you use print and ship them for you]? Also I want to know what your ballpark prices are for selling prints? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I do all my print selling online! That way I don't have to worry about buying equipment or printing and framing.
I sell prints of my photos on a few different websites: Cafepress, Zazzle, RedBubble and deviantART. Selling on multiple sites is a good idea because you can reach different audiences.
It's so easy! All of the sites are free, you just upload your photos, chose what type of products you want to sell your photos on (the different sites all have different options, they have things like framed prints, but you can also sell your photos on mugs, puzzles, greeting cards, etc.) Then you get a certain percentage of the sale!
I like doing it this way because it doesn't cost you anything up front. So if you end up not selling anything, you don't lose any money!
