I have had lots of advice on how NOT to sell my photos

Thanks to everyone for all the responses to this blog - I can't believe how many people have contacted me in such a short space of time.

Here are some on the key comments coming from my blog readers...

"I think the only "real" way is to show your stuff in galleries, at coffee shops, on street corners etc... and then have your website out there for if those people weren't carrying any cash that day."

"You do have some gorgeous stuff. I particularly like "Autumn Reflections" in your Scotland collection. I know nothing about selling photos, but I can tell you that, as a customer, I'd never buy a photograph strictly off the web. I'd have to see the actual print to know if it really appealed to me. Once I saw your stuff in person, I then might buy from a website..."

"As an artist in oils,photography, & Clay, I have found that it's not about what we like, it's about what the buyer likes. We are here to serve them. The right size, color, mood to match the living space of those who shell out the cash."

From what you all are saying it is going to be difficult to sell art over the web. I suppose I thought that was going to be the case - photographs are a touchy feely thing...

One reader also started that I shouldn't put any technical info on my site. I have to say I disagree with that. i want people to know the story of my prints - otherwise they may as well go to Ikea and get a £5.99 print.

So it look like an exhibition is the way to go - which I always assumed. But! I think I am going to continue with the web quest for now. I don't like to be defeated - As the famous peom by Kipling states - "If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too;"
