Common mistakes when selling as a photographer

Avoid these mistakes that hold back photographers starting to sell online.

Selling generic presets without a defined niche

The generic preset market is saturated. You compete with thousands of photographers and differentiation is nearly impossible.

Specialize: presets for weddings, lifestyle, product, landscape, or portraits. A clear niche attracts buyers willing to pay more.

Not showing before/after results

Buyers need to see exact results. Without previews, conversion rates drop by 70%.

Create before/after galleries with varied photos. Show the preset in different lighting conditions and scenarios.

Only selling presets without educational content

Presets alone sell for $5-15. An editing course sells for $49-199. You're leaving money on the table.

Combine: preset pack + video tutorial on how to use them + editing style guide. The bundle is worth 5x more.

Frequently asked questions

What photography products sell best?

How do I differentiate my presets from others?
Develop a recognizable style, show real before/after, offer support and create presets for specific niches.
Can I sell photos as stock?
Yes, but the market is saturated. It's more profitable to sell presets, courses and resources than individual photos.
