benzinha - Cafepress is a good place to get started as well

At least in terms of having a bit of a home base and where else can you buy a T-shirt for your dog that has my first eBook cover on it? HERE

That was set up by former blogger Uncle_Dan back about 4 years (or more) ago. The promotional aspect is the hard part but there are a number of good avenues for free promotion. I'm having some good luck with Kijiji.com, it seems that all of my contract work has come from there.

You will probably end up a mogul and I have known you when.....

multiple streams of income and a learning curve that never ends, good.

I have been throwing images at cafepress all week, opening five stores so far....as they are, in this form, free.

I shall buy a store there soon. They make and do everything but the artowrk and the promotion....my two fortes, so, off I go....

I put my first ones up just to learn what the heck is involved and how to go about it all.

I am tired now, the dogs hit me and knocked me down after two days of chain sawing a huge downed tree on my car and I am about to quit and go to bed.

Iam learning that my first pohotos are the most important part of the whole process and I must stage them and lay them out better. No more haphazard, which was fun for the first few years in photography.

Au revoir. Studying French as I work....in case I do go to Togo.

cantey_1975 - it is getting easier and easier to do
With that progression it becomes more profitable. I now have gone from $2 per hour (if I was lucky) to consistently over $10 per hour. Building in efficiencies from this point on will insure further progression into profitability.
