Great succinct explanation Jerred, thanks for the tips. I have to watch your other video again. Don't remember if it covers the images themselves. Is it important to offer a lot of size choices? I'm not certain how to know if the IQ is good for various sizes. Have a great weekend!
Charlie… it’s debatable whether it’s good or not to have many choices. I’ve seen photographers have success BOTH ways. One I looked at has ONE size choice, and they sold thousands. Another has like 10 sizes - they sold thousands. Honestly - I’m not sure! HA! And maybe I should make a video about file resolution and printing, eh? That might be good! Mostly though if you have 200 resolution at whatever file size you are looking to print at, you should be good. Some people say 300 resolution, but for what I’m doing, I’ve found 200 is really good, but of course my target is 300. I can usually get away with almost any file size with GFX, but with my OM-1, it depends. A really well-exposed 20-megapixel file can go bigger than you might think, especially if you use Gigapixel. I have a X-T4 file that I printed 10 feet tall and it looks AMAZING… but the file was nearly perfect out of the camera. Gosh… am I making sense? Maybe a video would be better.
@@JerredZ Well, I guess that would help!! LOL! I guess I was thinking about an image that I shoot then crop maybe to 1X1 or 5X7 in post. Does cropping completely kill an image? How far is ok?
Hey, thanks for making this video. You are very relatable. Great tips. I started an AI art shop earlier this year and lost interest fast. I just decided to also open a Photography shop which lead me to this video. I'll watch it several more times and subscribe to your Chanel and newsletter.
Hi Sir, I want to sell my photos to add some income and support for myself. Do you have a videos on how much should you sell for each photos? How do I know what price should I put on my listing for each photos? Is there a market price or it depends per photographer
You know… that’s a great idea for a video! I’ll do one. BUT - the short answer is that it depends on the photographer and the market you are going after. Are you trying to sell a lot of photos for less? Fewer photos for more? A middle ground? Target “collectors” and put a limit on your “prints?” It all depends… but yeah, a great idea for a video!
It's up to you, George! I see some photographers doing really well with digital downloads, but the prices are always pretty low. You'd have to sell quite a bit of volume before it would work. LIke I said, some photographers can do that, but I think it takes quite a bit of listings to get it going!
Thanks Jarred, Do I need to print and ship the prints myself or is Etsy able to take care of that? Have you thought about selling just the digital image or always the printed images?
Etsy does NOTHING for you. Some print-on-demand shops integrate with Etsy, which semi-automates the process. And some people choose to sell digital images, and some choose to sell prints - it's really up to you.
I have a local printer that will print them to my specifications and ship things out for me. It's worked out great! For a few things I use "finerworks" which is also a great resource for products. They do a good job as well.
Great video.
Thank you for your content. 🙂
Great advice, Jerred! Thanks for sharing! Love the neon sign example!! I wouldn’t have thought of that either! 😂😂
Thank you Jarred. Fantastic points. I will follow them for my listings.

Charlie... not sure. Want to give me a call sometime? Email me: jerredz@gmail.com
AWESOME TIPS!💯💯💯
Do you use a POD company? If yes, which one?
I've use a local printer to dropship for me, but I also use Finerworks when I need some products my local printer doesn't provide.

Thanks, Rob - I wish you a ton of success on your shops!! Exciting times.
Hi Jerred, great video, I'm new to the channel and was wondering what your Etsy store name is? Thanks for the tips!
but where is the link to your Etsy account so we can check it out and buy?

Great info Jarred. I’m new to Etsy so my question is should digital downloads be an option on my shop?

have you ever seen photography on fourthwall products?
I'm not sure what that is!
Can you sell the same digital image to more than one person? How does that work with copyright and ownership etc.
You always own copyright - you are just selling a license to print or use for personal, non-commercial use.
What about the profit margin. How much are they
by selling prints do you mean you are created them on printify or another platform and listing them on etsy? or just uploading the digital image
I have a local printer that will print them to my specifications and ship things out for me. It's worked out great! For a few things I use "finerworks" which is also a great resource for products. They do a good job as well.
Do you copyright your photos? If so, how do you do that?
I don't!
It is good ❤ but i want sell my photo need money
