I have just joined Smugmug and I am thinking about getting the Pro account but I am wondering if It is really worth it. Just wanted some feedback from fellow Photogs that have had success with the site. How many sales did you have last month?(If you dont mind me asking) I would be happy with just a couple of my own. I have had my photography on numerous sites throughout the years and even tried my own site with not much avail. Thank you in advance! :)

I had a similar 'Field of Dreams' view of Smugmug when I started as well. My advice is basically this: Smugmug Pro is a great place to support your photography business, but a Pro account won't create a photography business. It is simply a component of the business; one of the tools. Simply offering nice photos on a website will not drive huge sales. In fact, you can consider yourself lucky if you sell enough to pay back the cost of the Smugmug account. The world is not waiting to buy your photos, but your customers very well could be. In other words, create a photography business first, and leverage Smugmug to enhance that business. |
