Just after a bit of feedback from people using Photoshelter, in particular to those selling prints. Is it easy and quick, and is there an alternative? And does it offer you value for money?
Lee and I use a standard photoshelter account linked to a wordpress blog. Contrary to other views, I find the SEO for the blog to be amazing. The secret appears to be putting good tags on each post. I often find our site on the first page of google only an hour or two after putting a post up.
The main reason we use photoshelter is because it offers excellent facilities to get pics to clients and editors, and also because it provides good instant fulfilment of jpegs as well. For printing I usually use my Smugmug site to take orders for event pics using PayPal.
If you want a look to compare, my Smugmug is www.tobinators.com and the wordpress/photoshelter is http://slikimages.com.
Clearly Fotomoto ain't getting much love then.... it's free though!
I assume from reading the thread that you can integrate photoshelter with your wordpress site?
I had a little look at Fotomoto...it looks ok actually, but I would be happier with something that allows me to self fulfill orders...i have ability for printing any size, any finish so not an issue. Had a play with photoshelter tonight...looks good, although the $50 fee for setting up a selling feature is a bit frustrating...guess it pays for itself though.
Is anyone using Photobox as a non-American alternative? How good is it?
