Selling photography prints on Squarespace

I am currently setting up a Squrespace website to sell my prints. Each image is 3800 pixel count on the long side. I am only selling digital prints so far. Is this a mistake?

This is some great advice. As a beginner this was quite eye opening, even though I have several ideas of my own this gave me a sense of direction & an understanding of how to apply my ideas productively. Thanks a lot!

Do you have any advice on how to get more people to your site?

A boatload of great information here! Thanks for putting it all together and helping those of us who have been struggling to try to figure out what to do with our images to generate some sort of extra income. Especially us older guys that need to subsidized our Social Security! 🤣 thanks again. Great photo work by the way.

Hey Justin, I’m new to selling prints and this whole thing. I’ve been taking pictures for quite a while now but I’m just getting into the print game.. any tips or any valuable information you can give me about “whitewall” and setting up on there. I watched the video and I’m trying to figure out how it works exactly but I’m having trouble with the whole setup process

Super informative video. Thank you. How about when it comes to selling athletes photos? I do a lot of track cycling and drift racing. Am I only allowed to sell to the riders ND drivers themselves?

Just getting into this :-) I already have the 125.000 followers now I just have to choose the right platform to sell my prints on. Probably gonna go with a "Big Cartel + Printful" solution.

Great video! Question What monitor Are you using yo get best resultat for printing?

love the K.I.S.S. method- Thank you Justin!

WITH YOU UNTIL THE SQUARE SPACE ADD CAME UP. DONT USE THAT PEOPLE. ITS THE WORST!

Thanks Justin! Great Work, great helpful inspiring videos!

Honestly in 2023 I can't believe someone hasn't figured out a good platform for this. Squarespace, Picfair, Shopify, Ecwid, 22slides etc they're all awful and do a poor job at getting people into their ecosystem. All I want is a platform that lets me add my prints for sale with various options and takes payment, display it in a component on my site, then lets me fill the order myself.
It's extremely difficult to just do this simple process as every platform wants you to use their entire system, pay before you setup a store to see how it works/looks, or has awful service appearance (Why does picfair use a frog as the sample image instead of putting the actual image on the sample?!).
The price Squarespace requires per month is extremely expensive when you can't even 'try'/demo it first.

Thank you mate.

Hey, how did you get to connect your Squarespace account with Whitewall? I've been thinking of using Whitewall for printing services, I ordered sampled prints and they came out great

Great video Justin love the minimalistic approach, new subscriber here! I wonder if, for selling prints in general, for example street photos, you need a model release (quite complicated let's say with a big shot but run and gun, documentary...and you hadn't the time and occasion like in a settled situation) or you can manage to sell them even without it, if for example their face isn't recognizable or far away. Thanks!

Does it work selling prints worldwide? Particularly for us, UK, USA, Australia, India

Thank you very informative.

So I'm discovering your video in 2023! Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to create it. Very helpful!

Really enjoyed, and appreciated this video. Thank you

Great video. Very informative. Thanks Justin.

I’m looking to upload bulk photos from events to sell single digital downloads.

Squarespace doesn’t seem to have a “bulk” upload, just single?

Thank you so much Justin for the simple and straight forward advice! So much practical information I can apply immediately!

thank you for this information

Do you have to process each order manually? Or when an order is made, everything is done automatically?

Lovin the honesty in this right from the beginning. Im not one to make comments! but this is soo helpful 👌

A very helpful video, Justin. Thank you very much. I just checked out your website, amazing work. Please my question is, do you obtain permission from the subjects in your portraits before selling their prints?

I started out on Fine Art America and it was awful. The prices on there kill all sales. Then, I started selling them on my website but, like you, people had to let me know what they wanted, what size, and what medium, then I would figure out the best price and get back to them. I got way more sales doing that than I did on Fine Art America, but it was still hurting my sales because people want convivence. So, now, I'm trying to figure out how to sell them directly on my website. Making this transition is going to take me several days to set up, but I think it will be worth it. And getting back to what you said about simplicity, that is the key. People get overwhelmed quickly and easily lol

Thank you for this video. Great information. Also, incredible image of the guy and the Rhinoceros. How is he able to interact with an animal like that?

you can build your flat rate into your cost, because your prints are fairly small and lightweight lol, for big pieces you're fucked

Thank you for your time in doing this video and explaining your methodology to selling prints. I jive with your approach, it makes complete sense to setup simple solutions and limit options. Cheers!

Looking to dip my toe into trying to sell prints. Super helpful video, thanks.

This video is so helpful. I really appreciate it, Justin. Love your work 🤟

Hi Justin, great video! How do you use Whitewall with Squarespace? I believe you can´t connect WhiteW into SqSpace, because there isn´t a extension that allows that. Any ideas?

Just found your video and followed up to check out your website. First print I looked at now has nine print products and up to ten sizes. Have you changed your thought process on print sales since the recording of this? Currently designing my first Squarespace site to see if it's the right option for me and doing the research.

Thank you, you gave me the motivation to made my own website.
Thank you

is whitewall automated? or do you have to put the customers info into whitewall for each order

Hi Justin, what way is the simplest to built a website for photo selling?

I think I'll take the time to print myself ... someone ordered my art front hr UK and printful was my printer....long story short the art was damaged and they had to get a refund. I couldn't help thinking that if I packed it myself it would have got there fine like the things I ship in the US.

Great video helped me a lot thank you !

Does your site automatically notify your print on demand company or do you have to?

Mr. Mott, thank you for posting this video, straight to the point and concise appeals to me always and I appreciate that you reply to your audience. My wife and I have thousands of digital images we have taken over the past twenty-two years of our marriage while at home and traveling to zoo's and aquarium's. Our passion is animal and nature photos, we have been looking for a way to share them and earn a little money on the side and donate a percentage of the proceeds to animal keepers. Thanks again for your time, talent, and passion posting this very inspirational video.

It doesn't matter how good a photographer you are and how amazing your pictures are if no one knows you exist you will never sell a print.

Selling prints is 95% marketing and 5% printing.

Thank you for the great video. I checked your website and your images are stunning! But, I am wondering who would be your printing clients. I naively thought only pleasing and easy topic prints sell.

Very educational. Which squarespace template do you use? I'm having difficulty finding an easy to use one being not very savvy. Ps, I'm not a photographer I paint and do ceramics.

Thank you for the great advice.
