Title: Go Paparazzo any good ?
Post by: Phadrea on April 18, 2016, 03:43
I have a few images of a famous person and I am wondering if best to sell here http://www.gopaparazzo.com/photo/view_all/international/INT (http://www.gopaparazzo.com/photo/view_all/international/INT) Rather than editorial on SS/IS etc ?

Have you tried to sell them directly through your site?

I don't have a site to sell of my own.

Open a personal site to sell your pictures then! You will have more chances to sell some of your arts, and you can combine it to the delivery via editorial/stock agencies.
You could use Symbiostock, an open source platform. It's easy to customise and the result is excellent. Also transactions are 100% safe for your customers as the payments are made via paypal.

For example I have developed my personal site using this technology. Check out my site at

Have a nice job!

Thank you so much for sharing. This could be just the thing I need to do. My wife has said for a very long time I should sell direct if I want more money. Have you had much success with it ? This could be the revolution for us photographers to earn a decent living without being at the mercy of the stock agencies.

Well, at the very beginning sales were poor, but with a good SEO and spreading around the word among friends and photographers like you thing are going better and better every day.
People that want my art now simply buy through my site.

I just find the process of getting it up and running with the various downloads, plugins a bit complicated. A simple site that hosts your work would be a simple, easier option.
