What good are digital photos if you can’t share them?
Shutterfly.com is a great website for sharing your digital photos online, but where Shutterfly really shines is what you can do with them offline.
To get started with Shutterfly, you will need to setup a free account. It’s easy and takes less than five minutes. Once you have setup a free account, you can begin uploading your pictures into online albums. These albums will not only help you manage your photos, but you can also share them with anyone you wish.
Shutterfly began as an online develper. 4×6 prints are only $.12 each and they can print all the way up to 20×30″. 15 free prints are provided just for setting up an account. Usually, prints will arrive in the mail in less than a week.
In addition to ordering prints, Shutterfly provides dozens of other options. You can make calendars, Tshirts, coffee mugs, posters, aprons, gift boxes, etc. Two of our favorite photo products are collage posters and gift books.
Shutterfly Studio is a free program that walks you through creating a colllage poster as large as 20×30. The poster can include a single photo or hundreds of photos. Adding photos, moving photos and creating text boxes is extremely easy. A dozen or so layouts are also provided for a very professional looking product.
We also talked about CafePress at the meeting this month. CafePress is a site that allows you to sell photo items on your website. All items have a base price and you can determine the markup. You keep anything over the base price.
