How to sell photography

Best Ways To Make Money Selling Photography:

I want to start a photography/postcard website?

I'm a pretty good photographer, and have taken "postcard" images of cities all around the world (I travel a lot). My friends and family all love my photography, and have suggested I start some sort of (online) business, like offering prints for sale of my photography for postcards, wedding cards, stationary, the like. I'm fascinated by this idea, but how much would you pay? For instance, let's say a stack of 10 postcards for London? Or how about a stack of 10 blank generic cards (think blank wedding/birthday cards with fold, no messages) of Paris? The like? Thanks!

1. thats cool
2. it was about 2-3 euros for 10 postcards of paris when i was there, unless you get them printed in bulk the sale and cost price will be about the same i would pay about 1 euro for a postcard, and about 2-3 euros for ten a
3. Instead of starting an online business that will cost money and may not create a profit, try getting the book Photographer's Market. They come out with one each year, but you can check-out an older version at the library. They give a listing of companies that buy a one time printing right to these images, then you can move to another company and sell them again. Make sure you are only selling a ONE TIME RIGHT and not FULL RIGHTS. They even have a specific section for postcard photography. The book tells you how much they pay, what they are looking for, and how to send your work into them to review.
