Hi TazZ!

Welcome!! There are a number of things you should do to get things going with your pro account. This is a great place to start: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93336 Follow those steps, and you should be well on your way.

Please note that with your portfolio account, you can use a single pricelist at a time, so you will need to set prices from your Account Settings. Look under Business, Making Money to find the link.

As for your images, you have some lovely shots there! I did see some smaller images. Those won't work for sales, as you need to have a minimum number of pixels to sell prints. This page here will help you with that: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93359

Hope that helps get things going for you!

Whilst you have disabled right-click, in your "Natures" gallery you are allowing viewers access to the high res "Original" versions. This allows people to steal them - without paying.
 To protect your files, you need to set the maximum viewing size to something SMALLER than “original”.
You can do this by going to a gallery >open gallery settings >go down to the “Privacy” section and make the change

This thread discusses it in more detail:
ORIGINALS = a gateway to free photos, & right click protection is NOT PROTECTION.

This link shows the pixel dimensions of each display size:

Your "Sunset" photos are way too small and will reflect poorly on you. People need to see a larger size (but NOT "Original"!)

You need to hide the "Me" gallery. People don't need to see that - I'm assuming it is needed for a Biography page ... but I can't find an "About Me" page

I can't find a way to contact you (the contact link in the footer takes you to a Smugmug support page)

As your website gets more and more galleries, it is going to be more and more difficult to navigate through your website. I'd suggest creating a navigation bar

Good luck <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/thumb.gif" border="0" alt="" >
