If you’ve reached the stage in your photography where you’re looking to sell your work, then Photoconnect.com may be the answer. Here’s the official press release:

A new way for photographers to sell images online

Photoconnect.net is a new affordable option for photographers wanting to sell online who want flexibility but do not wish to go as far as building their own website or hand over commission on sales. Compared to other options, photographers with confidence in the market for their images should find substantial time and cost efficiencies - there are illustrations on the site.

In designing its features, photoconnect.net surveyed the varied participants of the UK stock photography listing in Yahoo. As an example of its findings, the survey suggested that in web searches only one in fifteen sites stood any chance of having one of their images found directly in a search for a subject featured in the photography.

The features of photoconnect.net which emerged that differentiate it from online alternatives are:

- Individual images may be found directly and prominently by buyers from the major search engines or through two structured search options on the site
- It provides a collaborative non-exclusive environment which promotes participation and structured links to independent photographers and libraries
- Photographers may link images directly to their images at other websites - for example an agency such as Alamy or a fine art fulfillment outlet such as Caf? Press.
- A photographer’s work may be promoted by Photoconnect submitting mailings that feature highlights their work to buyers selected by the photographer

As an example of costs, a showcase of 100 images will cost ?80 (US$120), with a charge of ?24 pa (US$36) after the first year.
