You’re welcome Dennis, how could i resist, it’s a gorgeous image! I’ve sold some Eiffel shots as framed prints and some Gecko cards. It’s so inspiring isn’t it? I figure we should all spread the love by buying some cards at least once a month.

It’s quite a buzz to get the first sales on RedBubble! It’s great to sit back after uploading the images and let the expert RedBubble team take care of the rest. Everything is taken care of and the quality is brilliant!!

I’m with Cjay. Nothing sold here yet, but hopefully that will change soon and I can’t wait. I do remember my first sale ever (which was only a year ago). I had an image in a group show with a local photo club. The owners of the gallery liked my image so much they bought it themselves! It really helped give me the confidence that I desperately needed. It’s always a great feeling when someone buys your work.

Another one here. I just wish someone would buy even just a card. That would be nice. In fact I would love for someone to use one of my photo in a magazine. I would not ask for money. I would appreciate that the photo was liked that much.

This is directed to Michael. You have good work in your gallery so please don’t give it away! If magazines want to print your work, then they should pay for it! They will benefit financially from folk seeing your work and so should you. And please don’t fall for the “We will give you attribution (instead of paying for it) as in my experience, and many other pro photographers, is that only other photographers are interested in who actually took the image.

In other words, don’t demean your work by giving it away. The only time I give my work gratis are for good causes, some charities (not the rich ones!) and students.

Cheers
Sheila

My first on here wasn’t that long ago, but my first ever I still remember.
Picture of the Shorncliffe Pier, sold to someone in New Zealand who saw a crappy scan of it on the net. :D

Oh! Just read Sheila’s post above me.
Completely agree.
If they want to publish/use it, it’s worth them paying for it. They have to attribute it to you anyhow.
Remember, if it’s used in a magazine, or advertising, it’s making them money.
And the ol’, you don’t need to get paid because you’re doing something you love doesn’t cut it.
Try that line with your mechanic.

I sold a framed copy of this image at a local art show last year for $350. An insurance salesman saw it and told me he had the perfect spot in his living room for it.

My first sale on RedBubble was this image, on my 6th day on here. I have been very lucky to get some many favs and kind words about it.

Yep very exciting! It has made my day and probably my week too! Have had work published and sold quite a few times before as I work for a local newspaper! But for some reason this sale seems that bit more special!

I haven’t had a sale here yet but I had stuff used in newspapers and its exciting to see your photo in print.

Not sold a thing. But the sales on the site really show the talent here.
When and if I do make a sale I’d be over the moon as i know I’ll be in the company of some awsome artists.
If I never make a sale, it doesn’t matter. it’s a great place to learn and enjoy the work of others.

I would like to see some statistics how many
pictures/shirts get sold every day on RB.
I actually don’t have the slightest idea…

I was the happiest person on earth when I got my first sale!! I couldn’t believe that someone actually like my works. It made my day. I hope to have many more sales. It was “Falling Leaves”!

Yup, guess I will always remeber it. My only sale was a card of Final Contact

I still can’t believe it but it was truly encouraging! I look forward to sell more (and to buy! My scanners are slowly pinpointing so much stuff I will end up broke >.<)
