    I really hope this helps any of you who were looking for this information. One quick note when you finish designing the site the final step is to link it with a domain and make the site public. I figured this was obvious but wanted to make a note of it. Have a great day and thanks for watching!

    So you are using a separate E-Commerce Squarespace site for selling your photos. This site is also linked to your regular Squarespace photo site. Do the customers see the prints on the regular site first? The customer is sent to the E site after selecting a product to buy? The E site processes the print, collects the $ and sends the print to you for your inspection. Instead of E site sending print out directly to customer, you mentioned that you prefer getting the print first, allowing you to check print quality, sign and number it and send it back out to customer. A more personal touch, which ads a value to the print and the customer's experience. So the website print sales department sends the print to you first correct? Are you paying shipping fees for the prints from the E site to you and then more shipping fees again from you to customer? How much does this ad to the cost of the print for shipping? I understand the reasoning for sending out from you but what is the additional costs involved in the end? Where do you sign the print and is there a limited number of photos to be made? Does it cost to have separate sites where two or more Squarespace sites are related to each other? Thanks, FW

      @@RanftEvan One question--Do you watermark your prints that you have for sale. I looked at your website, and I did not notice a watermark on the preview, but was curious if he print you ship has a watermark, or just a signature on the back. I was thinking that some buyers might not want a distracting watermark on the image. Thanks!!

    Nice Video Evan!,
    I've been building a following base both on tumblr (35k) and instagram(15k), and many people has been asking me for a really long time to start selling prints, to be honest i don't feel confident enough to do it, for many reasons, but more than anything maybe embarassment, or i just don't want to be cocky "oh look at him trying to sell stuff.
    I know it's stupid feeling this way.
    Lately I've been really thinking about getting into opening the store because well, why not? even if it's pocket money, it's nice, right?
    Btw, you mofo! I ended up buying a Leica QP because of your videos. I'm in love with it, but i'm not gonna lie, it's still a little bit hard for me to let me fuji on the shelves...
    Have a nice day/night man!
