Thanks a lot, I have some questions. When you upload the image in smugmug, you do a single time at the original size or many times at different sizes? Does Smugmug manage the different resolutions you sell? Which pixel per inch do you select? What do you do in Ig to link your smugsmug site from Ig? Sorry for my long list but I am very new to this topic. Thanks in advance for any feedback you might give...
Thank you for your videos! I was excited about building a commerce site on SmugMug-- then I got trial account and viewed price lists to see cost information. Huh?? Costs for prints-- paper, canvas and metal-- are 200-300% of what I've been paying!! The integration and post-sales customer support certainly have value, but enough to take a 70% whack to profit margin?? Curious if you've seen that,--and if so, how you worked through it.
What package plan do you use with smugmug ?, I have started a free account but i am still trying to figure out which way to go with that, as well with the "art storefront" have you ever considered using them ?. I Like to say I hope you keep this up very informative, I am sure your channel will pick up I have seen others reference your site already. Thank you for sharing
I am currently on the "Portfolio plan" with Smugmug, it is the cheapest plan that allows you to sell your photos online. Sorry, I am not familiar with the "art storefront".
I want to create a photography website and SmugMug looks like a good option except for one thing. I want to write a traditional monthly blog of words plus a few images on the site but SmugMug doesn't have a traditional blogging feature. What do you suggest I do ?
James, this is an excellent video, very informative and just what I personally was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to put it together and double thanks for sharing it.
A lot of super helpful inspiration! I've been flailing around with my SmugMug site for years. Love your ideas! I'm also wondering if you have a video about how you upload your daily photos to your blog and how it's all connected? Cheers!
My sales are a lot lower in number than stock sites but with Smugmug you keep all the sale so you make more per sale. Also, you need to drive traffic to the site, which I do with social media but there are other ways as well.
Could you please explain your naming convention for your photos? I plan to start a website for my husband's new photography business (after seeing your excellent video), and I'd like for us to get that right from the start. Thank you!
I used to have a naming convention for my files but abandoned it because it wasn't really worth the while. These days I don't have a specific naming convention, I just give them titles I like and include lots of keywords to help for search. Hope this helps.
Fascinating and very helpful video. Questions: Are you getting organic search (non paid) results? And please comment on Squarespace vs Smugmug, why did you migrate?
Are you planning on doing more blogging on the site? If so, how? One of the key missing functions in SmugMug is this and I'm not sure I want to setup a Wordpress site as well.
I just found your channel like the video I’ll be following you I been trying to figure out how to make a living with my photography it used to be a hobby and now I’m retired and would like to make some money doing it I’ve done weddings not crazy about that love to do landscapes I would love to figure out how to sell prints online I’m a full time rver wondering around the country anyway love the video take care
Hi there, when someone buys a print, are you contracting this out for printing to a 3rd party or are you or SmugMug printing and shipping? Super video,
Not really. I still have my old photos up there but I don't upload photos there and don't pay for a membership anymore. It used to be my favorite site but they have made a lot of changes over the last couple of years and I am not a fan of 500px anymore.
Been looking for a video like this for months. Thank you. I’m sold on smugmug

Great video. What smugmug plan do you have?
I have a portfolio plan
Good stuff. Im experimenting with smugmug now. But how do sales compare with the stock sites? And is that more due to social media traffic?
My sales are a lot lower in number than stock sites but with Smugmug you keep all the sale so you make more per sale. Also, you need to drive traffic to the site, which I do with social media but there are other ways as well.
Great information, and thanks for sharing.

Fascinating and very helpful video. Questions: Are you getting organic search (non paid) results? And please comment on Squarespace vs Smugmug, why did you migrate?
Yes I do get some organic search to my site. In this video I go into more about why I made the change ruclips.net/video/VcAgWJ-Dxcg/видео.html
How do I create a section for a mailing list on the site?
Thank you for the help.
Can we put AdSense ad in this site?
Thank you for this!
Are you planning on doing more blogging on the site? If so, how? One of the key missing functions in SmugMug is this and I'm not sure I want to setup a Wordpress site as well.
SmugMug doesn't have a blogging module but I don't plan on blogging so that is okay for me.
Can you link wix photos to smugmug?
I just found your channel like the video I’ll be following you I been trying to figure out how to make a living with my photography it used to be a hobby and now I’m retired and would like to make some money doing it I’ve done weddings not crazy about that love to do landscapes I would love to figure out how to sell prints online I’m a full time rver wondering around the country anyway love the video take care
What do you guys think about adding a watermark to everything or not?

Thank you so much.
Hi there, when someone buys a print, are you contracting this out for printing to a 3rd party or are you or SmugMug printing and shipping? Super video,
I have it setup so Smugmug does the printing and shipping.
Thank you!
Do you still use 500pix?
Not really. I still have my old photos up there but I don't upload photos there and don't pay for a membership anymore. It used to be my favorite site but they have made a lot of changes over the last couple of years and I am not a fan of 500px anymore.
Thanks for this
How many images smugug allow upload images
Is smugmg allowed 25000 images in their platform?
If yes are they charge per image
I don't think there is a limit on the number of images, they don't charge by image, it is just a monthly subscription.
James Wheeler thank you 🙏
