If you have used print on demand, do you also sell those images on stockphoto sites or are those images exclusive to POD?

I sell clipart on microstock, sometimes they are an element in my designs on POD sites

I do a mix. There are some POD images that probably wouldn't work as stock, and some I want to keep exclusive. But I don't draw a firm line between POD and stock.

I do a little of this. I sell on Fine Art America and Redbubble, but I don't get many sales.

I had several hundred images on Fine Art America for a few years. Had 1-2 sales.

FAA's search engine algorithm heavily favors their long-time members with very large portfolios (commercial galleries, etc.) that dominant sales. Those trying to get started have a really hard time trying to gain any traction as a result.

Waste of time with no meaningful results for effort expended so closed my account.

in addition FAA only sends some of your images for google indexing
