For anyone interested, from my blog: How to sell digital goods - Why did I migrate from Easy Digital Downloads to WooCommerce ? (https://luisafumi.com/blog/2021/06/12/how-to-sell-digital-goods-in-a-reliable-and-affordable-way-why-did-i-migrate-from-easy-digital-downloads-to-woocommerce/)
It is possible to sell with WordPress and WooCommerce on a reliable and robust E-platform using only FREE plugins, substantially paying only for a hosting place.

Love your work.

Are you using wooCommerce photography extension?

does this link really tell us HOW to make sales?  how many sales do you have?  promoting yet another way to spend time without much hope of a payoff is useless

While the article could use a better title like "switching from X to Y for Z reason"; the actual store how is set-up can actually generate sales with the right marketing.
So it is interesting to see what others are doing and how they are doing it.

I have sold the weirdest products and services online in my career, photography is no exception.

What I am noticing is the successful people selling stock on their website have a niche, they have something defined, and the ones who struggled went for a more generic service.
I am still researching the topic, so to me it was helpful in someone way.

EDIT:
Found this example website - prostarpics (dot) com

Thanks for the tips. Does the checkout work, without someone doing a re-write. That would be the final step for me actually trying to run one of these again.

That's the second part? First I need to have a working website and I've never had that happen, even with Symbiostock. When I have a simple, rock solid, sales platform, with a gallery and basic search, that takes payments and charges appropriate taxes = then I can wonder about sales.

I understand your point, after many people have created sites, for many years, not many have found success with making any sales. For me, it's just the idea that I can have my own sales platform, not the expectation that I'll make sale or money from it.  :)
