Selling and printing questions
Discussion
Ive been asked to do a little project for a local boxing gym, with a flexible deadline I'm confident enough I can produce the images needed but selling prints and digital downloads is new ground for me.
The gym itself is easy enough as I'll just give them a digital copy of all the images for them to use on their website/social media, but now there are a lot of different individuals who are expressing an interest in the images, and even talk of an upcoming boxing show which would mean many more individuals buying a handful of prints each.
Right now my main commercial and time commitments are outside of photography so I don't even have a website. Plus I have about zero budget to invest in creating my own more profitable solution.
Could any of the printing services host and sell my pictures directly to the individuals who want them and I just take a cut? If so does anyone have any experience of such services? or advice about other alternatives?
I do have ambitions to go pro in the future but not for some time. In the meantime I need a way of fulfilling the occasional job in a professional way.

Can it be divided into galleries that require individual passwords, say for wedding privacy etc?
