POD's

Have you heard of people selling their photography through POD's, but you don't know anything about POD,s and a quick google search does not help? POD stands for Print On Demand and are sites that you can upload your images for sale. In most cases you load a high quality image add a tittle, description and keywords, your images then go on sale but the POD takes care of everything else. They offer various outputs(prints,canvas,mugs,iphone case), they take care of the printing, postage and payments. How you get paid can vary, some sites pay out each sale after a 3or4 week period, some others after you make £50. The POD,s make there profit from the printing costs and can vary vastly with the same sized canvas varying by £80. You then add how much you would like to make this can be a fixed price or % scale and striking the right balance
