I don't know much about this selling or copywriting thing. I found a website that can pay me per immage download. Should I add a watermark so people don't try to sell my immages?

Anyone have anyadvice as far as tryign to sell pictures? Websites? What to watch out for? Scams?

THanx yall..!

    Yes....... i would add a copyright notice or at the very least a signature line with year taken....nothing will stop a criminal (short of death) if they really want your image..they will find a way to get it.



    USE this code ( mQ3IQYcfdGPyJ ) for a $5.00 discount on your first year subscription to ANY SmugMug account......wings.gif :ivar

    With the pro account you can get paid for photos you sell either as Prints or digital downloads.....thumb.gif and it is much safer in my opinon than most other sites.....PLUS there is UNLIMITED STORAGE.....so it is like having cheap back up for all your photos...even the ones you don't want to share (those can be kept private and or password protected.....
