I've been on Redbubble for quite awhile now. I upload new photos fairly regularly. I haven't had any sales at all on RedBubble. But I do know plenty of other photographers that sell their work pretty regularly. The biggest complaints I've heard about RedBubble are that it's a horribly designed website that is very dysfunctional, it is extremely clique-ish and almost impenetrable, groups have very stringent criteria for submissions which are heavily enforced for some users and completely ignored for others, and users don't leave a lot of meaningful comments. I do really like the group features on RedBubble. And the website is a very easy way to sell your artwork. So it's up to you if you'd like to try it out or not. I personally much prefer deviantART.com to RedBubble.com. While RedBubble does have better group features (which dA is promising new, better groups soon!) I think overall dA is a much better community. I've sold prints on dA which I haven't done on RedBubble. I think it's a lot easier to get your work noticed on dA, and you get better feedback on your work.

I agree. I like RedBubble and I get some fairly good responses, but I do think it's harder to promote your work there. I like Deviantart better overall definitely, but RedBubble does have some good promotional features.

Redbubble? After a year I sold...nothing! I have now canceled my subscription. Imagekind is a better bet, and I have a pretty regular stream of sales through Zazzle.com. My current favourite sales site is www.photoartgallery.com which I have only recently joined; it takes a completely different approach to selling photographic art and is worth looking into.

RedBubble is a site similar to Deviantart. You basically have a gallery and you can put prints up for sale in various mediums. It has a cool website function also. I don't think it gets as much traffic as Deviantart gets, but it's still a cool site and the people that review tend to give more insightful reviews to your work than some people on Deviantart. http://www.redbubble.com/people/ElegantDream84

I've never heard of RedBubble or Deviantart. I'll check out Deviantart. Has anyone tried iStockPhoto, Shutterstock, or Fotolia?

In my opinion I don't recommend istock to anybody. There are a couple of other good ones out there. Try bigstockphoto.com

I know this discussion is very 'old' but wanted to thank you for posting this question. I just joined redbubble a week or so ago and have uploaded several photos but I can't believe the price they are charging - if the artist is going to make any money at all it certainly can't be much because redbubble's price alone is so high. I've made a list of the other sites suggested here and going to check into those...
