How did you set your prices? They seem very reasonable.

Thank you for the compliment Cameraman.
It has been a long time since I have made any updates to my site. I had to log on and look at the layout to remember how I did it. To summarize;
1. Log on to your smugmug account
2. On the top menu bar there is a link called "Customize". Click on it.
3. From the drop down menu/tool bar, select "Content & Design"
4. A menu/tool bar will open on the right side of the screen. Select "Homepage"
5.Moving down the screen select "Content". From here move your cursor over "Multiple Photos" and click on the wrench icon that appears. From here you will have to experiment to adjust the layout till you are satisfied with the results.
As someone else mentioned, Smugmug is not very intuitive and it takes some trial and error to figure it out.
Don't get discouraged and good luck.

Hi Again:
Sorry to bother you again.
I went all the way to step 5 and clicked on Content but did not see any "Multiple Photos" to click on.
What am I not seeing or doing?
Is there any way I can contact Snugmug heroes to help me so I do not waste your time?

I PM'd you a couple of screen shots yesterday.
One of them shows the "Multiple Photos" under "On Homepage"
Scroll down the menu/tool bar on the right side and add a content block.
Here you have several options. Multiple Photos is one of them.
After you placed the content block on your home page then go back to step 5 to adjust it to your liking.

I don't have a full answer to your question and am an amateur, not professional photographer, and so do not sell anything. I've been using Smugmug for a couple of years to create and share albums, and generally like it quite a bit.
According to Smugmug's posted policy, photographers always retain the copyright to their photographs. I suppose this means that technically it is illegal for anyone to download and use pictures for commercial profit. On the other hand, I always thought that if anyone finds some of my pictures to be good enough for personal (non-commercial, non-profit) usage, I say go for it and all the better!

Good points and a refreshing philosophy re personal use. Stealing for commercial purposes, as you point out, is another thing entirely.

I don't mean to go off topic or highjack the thread but I want to bring this up for a brief discussion.

"According to Smugmug's posted policy, photographers always retain the copyright to their photographs."
It could be quite possible that I missed that phrase in the Terms Of Use. There is however this paragraph in the TOU.
SUBMISSIONS
Visitor agrees as a condition of viewing, that any communication between Visitor and Website is deemed a submission. By making a submission, Visitor grants the administration and the owners of the Website a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licenseable and transferable license to use in any way, reproduce and distribute the submission and prepare derivative works of the submission without further permission. This includes commercial and non-commercial use of all submissions, including portions thereof, graphics contained thereon, or any of the content of the submission. Visitor agrees to only communicate that information to the Website, which it wishes to forever allow the Website to use in any manner as it sees fit. "Submissions" is also a provision of the Privacy Policy.
This paragraph is why I very seldom post my photos on UHH. Not that my photos are that valuable or in demand but it is the principle of the thing.

If you want to sell photos or prints thru SmugMug, you must have the level of service that is set up for e-commerce.
There are several photo printing services available through SmugMug. Pick the one you like... some are less expensive than others. All do great work. The client picks the photo, the media, the size, etc. and pays SmugMug. That order is then sent by SmugMug to the printing service. The printing service sends the completed work directly to the client. SmugMug pays the printer, keeps a nominal service fee, and, any profit is retained by SmugMug for you in your account. You can then decide when to get the money from SmugMug.
And, again, the SmugMug heroes will be more than happy to provide you with details on how this all works.

Interesting to say the least. I believe somewhere in the previous comments it was indicated that you own the copyrights to your images. Correct me if I'm wrong. This clause appears to undermine the copyrights under a false pretense. I fully concur with your principles! I wonder if patrons of the website fully understand or have read this.

I read it. Don't really care.

I use Smugmug and I'm happy with it. It's affordable and my photos are protected from downloading. It does have a bit of a learning curve but overall's user friendly.

https://www.fayledvisionphotography.comThank you for your input. I will take it into consideration. Continued good shooting 😎.
[quote=lschiz]I have been the SmugMug user for nearly 7 years now. Nowhere near an expert at it but a little farther along than I was several years ago. It’s true if it’s displayed on a computer screen, someone can do a screen capture but that resolution and quality is crap compared to having the file in hand. Smug mug does give you the option in it’s menus to disable the right click and download. Files cannot be downloaded unless you turn that on that can be turned on for each folder each gallery, the control of that is all up to you. In regards to pricing, it’s at the photographers, the owner’s discretion what he, what we think our work is worth.
SmugMug is, like many other services out there, is an excellent tool. I’m hooked up with White House custom color thru Smug mug and photos can be purchased directly through them.
This is one of many great servings and my, one of many opinions.[/qu
Appreciate you sharing your experience and I'm likely to entertain joining Smugmug based on yours and other fellow hoggers who have weighed in. Blessings and continued good shooting 😎.
