    Thanks for the video, been doing photography as a hobby for 10+ years and never bothered to do anything with it in a professional sense. Met a photographer in my local park recently who mentioned all the ways they sell their photos and it really inspired me to chase it up. Postcards look like an excellent entry point.
    One thing I would suggest to people who don't want to setup a store front is contact your local independent shops if you have any near you. There's community shops in my area that already sell postcards produced by local photographers and I know of one shop that doesn't sell any - hopefully that'll be my entry point.

    Thank you so much for this beautiful and honest video Andy. I got into landscape photography recently and always had this idea to make picture post cards but never really went ahead. Now after watching your video it gave me a good positive push to go ahead with my plan that I had. Thank you Andy. I have liked and subscribed to your channel, umesh ;)

    Thank you for the tips! I've been wanting to sell my photos as postcards forever. I did a couple of times and sold them at little markets, but I hadn't known about the Moo option. Thank you for your content and beautiful photographs/postcards!

      I watched Manny Ortiz fight with the overwhelming and very entertaining awkwardness of his outros and figures I'd do the same. Why struggle endlessly for finesse when you can just embrace being useless? 😁

    Thanks Andy! Great idea about the postcards too. I love my photography but being a full time nurse and flicking my spare time between jewellery/lapidary and card making means my "spare" time is often sparse. This is a great way to combine my loves which I'd never have thought of so thankyou!

    This is how I'm starting out selling my prints. Thanks for the information on printing. I have visted my local printers, they would print batches of 50 and they told me that the inks they use fade in sunlight. Not a great start. Good luck.

I put some of my stuff on my YT channel, and I have a local gift store keen to market some of my work, at hi early stage I'm thinking post cards. Would be interested in the price you sell yours for.

      Thanks Paul! I sell a pack of six postcards for €19 and then shipping is €6, tho I need to increase this to €7. The margins aren't amazing but I enjoy it and I've made a small profit so far - though nowhere near enough to justify the time and effort..! 😁
