It s much more difficult to ask a photographer to accept a similar structure for the Internet sale of his or her work. The market is barely embryonic, and there are no vast amounts of money associated with it yet. But this not only will change, it is changing right now. E-commerce in all its forms is growing at a phenomenal rate. Advertising agencies all have new media departments to take advantage of the opportunities that are popping up, like mushrooms, daily.
Television networks are worried about the amount of time TV viewers are spending online.
I know you think that the Trust Me phrase is coming up any minute, but it s not. This new market won t supplant an existing one, but will supplement the ones upon which you have relied up to now. None of the above will disappear or be unavailable to you because your work is sold on the Web. But probably the most compelling argument is the fact that every day more and more people are accepting this technology into their daily lives. They catch up with the latest news, check out the weather forecast for their area, price cars and book vacations.
