Fotomoto – Selling Photos is a Snap

Fotomoto is a service that lets photographers sell photos directly from own their own websites. Instead of forcing potential customers to leave your blog or website to purchase a particular photo, Fotomoto gives its users the JavaScript code and e-commerce capabilities to do the selling themselves—eliminating the middleman and allowing photographers to have more control over the ways in which their images are distributed and sold. Even better, Fotomoto says its smart-design system is technologically advanced enough to identify the images on a particular website by itself and then market and sell those images based on a predetermined set of pricing and sizing criteria set up by the site’s owner.

After adding one line of code to your website template, Fotomoto is ready to get started. The system will do the work to detect which photos you want to sell and adds a “Buy Now” link underneath each of those images. Use Fotomoto’s toolbar to the set the prices and sizes for each of your photos and decide whether customers should get discounts for buying more than one at a time. Because Fotomoto is fully customizable, you can easily make the system blend in seamlessly with your current website design.

When customers place an order, Fotomoto will handle the printing, shipping, billing, and credit card processing completely on your behalf. In exchange, the service will take a 15% cut of the transaction fee plus the cost of printing the photo. You can expect Fotomoto to mail the profits directly to you at least once a month. Whether you are an amateur photographer or a pro, Fotomoto is an innovate system that puts the power in your hands when it comes to selling your unique images online.
