Hi,
My photography has taken two nice little steps forward this week.
Firstly I have sold my first print! Previously my images have only ended up with friends and family, but this was my first sale. I like the thought of one of my images hanging on someone's wall - it feels good and makes me want to sell some more!
On my website I've now finally got around to adding an online purchase system - I've opted for paypal at the moment, would be interested to hear thoughts from others who have gone down this route. I'd also be interested to hear anyone's thoughts on how well it seems integrated on my site - anything I should look to change?
If I want to take things further I think it's time for me to read some information on marketing. Beginning to realize that I have lots of catching up to do on the business side of things, but should be good to learn some new skills.
Thanks,
