cafepress is too expensive and the quality is hit or miss so i am looking for other places. ebay is so expensive with their fees now it jsut about not worth it. i can get them printed myself and sell them but i was thinking that the promo of a personal website would be more a ***** to get the word out (almost every photographer has a website ya know?)...so i was wondering if there are any CONGOs or anything that allow photographer mamas to sell prints?

i am also looking at yessy, but hesitant to find the $60 to plunk down

i do not have a website. i'm considering one but i am cash-poor (as you know) so that's not possible at the moment. i have a niche, though...and my niche is happily compatible with Labor of Love and all that we offer so I am advertising mainly with LOL and via word of mouth.

kinda doing a happy jig tonight because i've been scoping out places to have prints enlarged onto canvas (as a service to offer for some of my images) and found a place TONIGHT that will do it for 1/4th the cost (and as far as i can tell, equivalent or better quality...archival, it's beautiful)...which means i can charge less than another photographer and still make a HUGE profit.

but then again i'm not selling just prints...i'm selling the service, i guess. slightly different. i'd be interested in what you find.

thats awesome, it's local i guess? winkflash does great canvases but i looked at some local places (well as much as i will get out and go in places i havent been before lol) and didn't see as low a price as winkflash (not yet anyway)

yeah, no service from me - i want something where i have to deal with as little customer service as possible - plus my stuff isn't all that normal so i would need a place that can deal with creepy ****
