After reading about many of the experiences with lulu.com posted here and looking around at available calendars, I decided to make one of my own. I really wanted a woodie calendar and I couldn't find any available.
The calendar turned out very good (at least I think so), so I decided to make it available for purchase and set up a website for it.
www.WoodiesCalendar.com
It's only been available for a few days however it is actually selling pretty well most likely because I announced it's availability on a woodie enthusiasts mailing list. I think the secret of success is to make a niche product that isn't otherwise available and market it directly to that niche group.
I've also posted the individual calendar images on my smugmug site.
Due to this experience, I think I will do it again next year.

I'm not really into "woodies" per se, but your photos are fantastic. I can understand why your calendar would sell very well.
