Title: Photo Sales
Post by: iCardboardRobot on September 09, 2010, 11:18:58 AM

Hi folks, does anyone know of a good website that you can sell photos on ? Mine will never ever sell but i would like to get that bit of pride by at least having them listed  ;D
Thanks

It would be hard to say. I've uploaded my images to 3 different aviation sites:

http://www.airliners.net/ (http://www.airliners.net/)
http://www.jetphotos.net/ (http://www.jetphotos.net/)
http://www.airplane-pictures.net/ (http://www.airplane-pictures.net/)

Of the three I find airplane-pictures to be the more user friendly. Their screening criteria is as tough as the other two but you will always get feedback on how to improve an image if it is rejected.

As far as sales go though I have yet to be approached by anyone via airliners or jetphotos but have been contacted by one or two via airplane-pictures regarding photo use.

Hope this helps.

Don't restrict yourself to the whims of those screeners - consider a free Fotopic site,or Flicker / Photobucket as well,where you can upload pics that may not be accepted by A.net etc.A lot of people looking to buy pics start with a Google search of the aircraft reg / type they are interested in - and then onto whatever database the particular pic is hosted on.

Photos don't have to be A.net / JP standard in order for others to want to use / purchase them.
