More Creative Ways to Sell Your Photos

but it’s also possible to publish a regular photo magazine.

MagCloud, a service provided by HP, allows publishers to create print-on-demand subscription-based publications. It currently offers around 5,350 self-published magazines related to photography. Some, like Maree Slaven’s magazine, function as portfolios. Others, like DCist Exposed, are annual catalogs containing shots taken by competition winners. A few though, such as Visions, act as real magazines with articles and contributors.

How many of those magazines make money is questionable. The print version of Visions costs $17. That price includes access to the digital version which usually costs $3.25 but is unlikely to ensure high numbers of sales. Delivering a profit of $4.80 over the cost of printing alone, it’s also unlikely to deliver high revenues.

But producing the magazine could be fun. You’d get to put your images in print, work with other photographers in your field, and explore photography issues that you find interesting. The selling would be hard and the profits small, but MagCloud makes the publishing easy and enjoyable.
