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.
