So, I always recommend Mpix to people... good prices and great quality.Misty DawnShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815037247940459349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544862361439519972.post-43352379463489839392010-11-09T05:39:34.982-05:002010-11-09T05:39:34.982-05:00Wow, thanks so much for your input ladies!

Someone pointed me to MPix.com and I am going to try and use them with the Etsy site to do my printing since its literally 1/3 of the price. The only down side is that they do crop the photos while Fine Art America never does. I actually like that artistry set up... I may have to investigate that!Jen at Cabin Feverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619554503287689988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544862361439519972.post-65968623915746514862010-11-08T16:29:29.653-05:002010-11-08T16:29:29.653-05:00Wonderful photo.Wonderful photo.Together We Savehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17294423259234525733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544862361439519972.post-4309919457363008922010-11-08T15:36:44.515-05:002010-11-08T15:36:44.515-05:00I have a Zenfolio account, but it's very simil...I have a Zenfolio account, but it's very similar to Smugmug. I like both of your sites. For me, it's convenience, because Zenfolio/SmugMug take care of the production, shipping, etc. I'd never have the time to do that on my own.<br /><br />After reading Rachel's comment, I'm on my way to check out FAA now. heheMisty DawnShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815037247940459349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544862361439519972.post-84886426863451223492010-11-07T07:52:44.651-05:002010-11-07T07:52:44.651-05:00I think Etsy is a great site, however, you can off...I think Etsy is a great site, however, you can offer way less options to your clients. But there is nothing wrong with having both sites because you will find people on Etsy that you may not come across elsewhere. Smugmug offers a ton of options for people but it not as easy to use and it continually has pop ups (that take a few moments to load) and the options aren't as clear until you click on the photo and say buy, whereas Etsy is quite clear as to what the price is right up front. Smugmug is a lot more customizable but I think for simplicity sake I really like your Etsy Shop. What I see is what I get, ya know? You also have to look at what the sites cost and how much you make. I have chosen to put my photos on FAA as it only costs $30 a year and I name my prices and that's what I get from them, they then add on their fees for the materials (and I make a percentage from the materials as well). They also handle the production, shipping, etc. Also, all of my photos then go into their general galleries so if someone is on their main site and searches for "cows" my photos will come up in their search. It's a really cool community of artists of many types.<br /><br />Here is a link to FAA http://fineartamerica.com/<br />Here is a link to what my artist website looks like: http://rachel-roushey.artistwebsites.com/<br /><br />They also allow you to post new prints directly to your facebook Fan pages when you upload new items which then lets people know when you've added something new.....I'm hooked, can you tell?<br /><br />But really, I like both your Etsy and your Smugmug, it's really what is easiest for you!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118951467821396698noreply@blogger.com
