- 1). Decide how you want to sell your photo books. One option is to build a client list and have them bring photographs to you to make into a book to sell. Another approach is to collect pictures of beautiful subjects and related topics, make a photo book from them and put them up for sale.
- 2). Find a client or the photographs for your themed photo book. The photographs must be uploaded onto a computer, with internet access. Ask the client to meet with you and bring you the pictures they want to include in the book. Discuss any captions or additional tidbits the client wants to incorporate, such as the page color or size of the photographs.
- 3). Decide which company will print your photo books. There are a few listed in the resource section below, as well as many others. Take into consideration the size, templates, customizing options, security and quality of the company's work, as well as the price. You do not want to pay more to have the book made than what your customers are willing to pay.
- 4). Upload the photographs to create the layout. If you are printing a collection of photos, make sure to add captions including the photographer's name and the date the photo was taken. Clear up all copyright issues and photographer's information before you upload the images.
- 5). Order the photo book and specify how many you want to have printed. Be prepared to give your credit card information at this point.
- 6). Meet with your clients to present the book and collect payment if it is to their satisfaction. If you intend to sell the book widely, show your work wherever you can, place it on eBay or other internet sales sites and advertise as you see fit to move your merchandise.
