Very good....selling stuff on commission....that's the way to go!
Any other way is a no go.

A little story. Take Art.
Vincent van Gough.
He spent month after month trying to sell his paintings, with people shaking their heads
(it's nice, but no thank you)
and that was for his asking price, and I can only guess at what that would have been.
Next he beleives that he must be a failure in life and commits suicide.
So to continue......less than a hundred years later one of his paintings sells at auction for a saggering 66 million.
So how can someting that's not worth his price, my guess about $200 dollars be worth over 60 million?
it's not just weird it's bazzar!
The only answer......he's no longer with us.

Cheers Joseph.

Well done Josie

. Just a few more and think of all that new camera gear you could buy. But seriously it is a nice feeling when someone rewards you for your picture taking.

I have a stock image library online and i havent really put much effort into it for the last couple of years, wedding, babies, new jobs etc! but lately i have had a few sales of my ice hockey shots so i know how you feel!!!

Remember, if someone likes you images enough to pay you locally, your images will sell online too!!!!

*Clink* go the champagne glasses and as Tedz would say *Salute*

Hi Andy, Thanks for that, a good luck to you also....

Hi Joseph, Thank you for your kind comments, and who knows, one of us might be another Vincent Van Gough....
