    best free service (s) to host and sell my products?

    Hi all,

    I take nature photos, I have a facebook page but can't sell through there. I would pay for hosting but can't afford it right now. What I want to do is have a simple page / site to display some of my photos where people can order them if they want. I could use paypal shopping cart for free. Was just wondering if there's a good free blog or host that I could use with paypal shopping cart? Also wonder how easy and exactly how to integrate my facebook photography page into it so people could easily share it that way.

    Thank you for any and all help,
    Ian

    A SEO couple had twins. For the first time they were happy with duplicate content.

    I don't think if free wordpress hosting at wordpress.com allows you to install plugins. Just a comment!

    Maybe you can try hosting a wordpress site and have each post as its own image with a PayPal link. Link to those pages through your facebook page for users to buy.

    It won't look too good, but it will accomplish what you want.

    It may take too much time to do free service by yourself!
    Pretending I did not recognize,
    I was staring at the distant view from the small window.

    If it is a blog you want, Wordpress is the best.


    Gallery would also be good for photos, but probably a little hard work to set up initially.

    Here are some Gallery Demo Sites to sallivate over.

    Devianart is the most popular. I think their service is the one of the best for photographers and artists.

    but the own designed site is much better anyway.

    I think the best way is to build a wordpress(blog) and you can pick up a good Gallery theme. If you'd like to sell your photos, you can install a sale add-on for wordpress.

    Wordpress is good for you, becasue you can write some summaries of your works or your events. And it's also good for exhibition your pictures.

    Hope you will success at your selling

    Some gallery themes are free. You can search it on google as 24 Free Portfolio And Photo Gallery WordPress Themes.

    The paid themes are amazing, but you must afford it.
