Well, I think I’ve done it. I think I have made the decision – I am going to sell framed prints of my images online!

I’ll admit, I am quite nervous, I will need to invest in a few things up front and the whole project might just be a total flop, but I also thought it would be a great opportunity to write about the process. At the moment, I am very much at the planning stage.

I need to think about:

• the platform for the shop
• how do I produce the printed photograph
• where will I get the frames from
• how will I package the finished product
• how long will it take me to prepare an order
• how will I post the finished product
• how will I price the images
• should I just offer one fixed size of print, or a range of options
• how will I manage the accounts to make sure all relevant earnings etc. are declared
• how will I market my shop so people actually know about it?

I am certain this is not a comprehensive list! Hopefully along with my photography I’ll be able to write about each of these as I come to them.

Will you come with me on this journey?
