Products to offer?

Hi all,

First I just sold my photos (99% sports related). Sometimes it was great, sometimes it was slow. Depended mostly on how well I marketed the event BEFORE the event.

I started looking for a value-added type product to make more use of my extensive photo collection. A few months ago I tried collages. The response has been excellent and I'm very glad I learned to make them.

Now I ask - what next? Are there other value added type products that you are offering that are profitable?

Thanks for adding to the discussion.

Al

    I'm really anxious to hear what others are selling, too. ear.gif

    I love your site the quality of your pictures and the way you built your collages. Can you tell me what software you use to produce them? I am just starting to make them and PS suite is a beast and Roxio 9 is almost too cheesy for collages.

    Hi Linda,

    I use FotoFusion by Lumapix to make my collages. I've used it about a year now and like it a lot. It works really well with Photoshop. Take a look at this collage I made about 2 weeks ago. It's my favorite!

    Best of luck, Al

    Fake magazine covers went over pretty well:

    I'm just now trying coffee table books. Definitely an expensive item that may not go over well (even though the resulting price-per-photo is about the same as a print, its that high minimum price that might scare off some people):

    I'm not entirely sure I can make much money at this at those prices yet. The good thing is I'm using existing photographs, so all I'll have invested is design time in Photoshop.

    Thanks merc.:) I do the magazine covers too but they didn't take off like collages. The coffee table book I need to think about, that might work.
