I'm writing a book for Photopreneur Publishing aimed at helping photographers find other online outlets for their work. SmugMug is going to be featured in it along with some of their professional photographers. Are you interested in being interviewed for the book? I'm looking for photographers who are attaining consistent success with their SmugMug website. I'm especially interested in interviewing people who have had some success with selling more than just prints, people who do a steady business with the gift items. Anyone interviewed will get credited, possibly have their site depicted in screenshot(s) and/or have some of the work spotlighted, plus get a link to their website if they choose.

    I am not sure I use smugmug the way you hope, but I am a happy customer and use lots of other features in ways you might not expect.

    Let me know if I can help.

    I don't get all that many gift purchases, but I do have steady print and digital image sales. I'm game but an interview will probably have to wait until after September 12th when I get back from South America. I'm gonna be pretty busy over the next few days but if the interview is a list of well crafted questions I could answer them via email before leaving. mwink.gif

    Thanks all for your help, especially Paul, Jessica and Heather! I have all the interviews I need at this time--unless you've had major success with the gift items.
