I have been using SmugMug for a few months for selling prints, selling
stock and posting proofs online for clients. I'm thinking of fazing
out my own stock site and uploading more stock images
to my SmugMug gallery. My nitch for stock images are nautical images.


I was wondering if there are any photographers using SmugMug
who have had good success selling stock via SmugMug?
Or maybe somebody can offer some suggestions how I can customize my pages on SmugMug to improve the customer experience and make searches (and navigation) easy to increase sales.

I also had a little bit of success this summer selling prints from sailing
regattas and races. Are there any SmugMug useerss that are doing well selling prints from events via SmugMug? what are some tricks to generating traffic to photos of events and generating sales?

Thanks,
Leighton

    Hi Leighton,

    I've had a short look at your site. You've done a good job so far with keywording. Maybe you could try to add some more info about the gallery in the gallery description as well.
    Also, adding a short caption on selected photos couldn't hurt.

    More suggestions, like a blog, are here.

    Most important is also that you market yourself on and around these events. I'm sure you'll find information on that in our Mind your own Business forum.

    For some basic suggestions, also have a look into our Pro wiki.
