My photos would make good wallpaper. Is there way to sell them as wallpaper?

    I know there are sites on the internet that sell wallpaper for your desktop and I'd like to do the same. How would I do that? I don't have my own website or anything. All I have are the pictures and I think they are really good and people would want them.

    Here's one of my cat Tiger on the roof.

    From the look of that cat.

    I can just imagine what it is thinking.....

    "I'm NOT amused! Put me back on the ground, or I swear I'll urinate on your pillows tonight!", [stupid humans, picking me up and putting me on the roof! For wallpaper! I'm so going to urinate on the pillows, and their sheets!]

    haha I didn't put him on the roof. He climbs up there all the time and jumps to the neighbours roof.

    I guess there's no money in desktop wallpaper. :( boo-urns I want money for nothin'!

    I don't have an eBay account and I don't think I'd make any money doing that.

    Seriously, for the majority Ebay isn't for making money on....it's for getting rid of what you don't want real fast to someone who can make better use out of it that you can. I found it an excellent site for moving stuff on, as long as the motive wasn't financial :)

    So the title for the thread should have been “rant, I want to cry in my cornflakes!”

    I would try and sell it as a package deal. Put a calendar on it and the get one every month... or you get 100 pictures of different catagories for 15.00. You get the money up front which helps cash flows then send then your stock photos... Photos are free on the net so you sell the copyright use to them and they can use them for whatever they want. It's easier if they don't have to think...

    ....and if you can't download the pic...all you have to do is make a screenshot of it...and so forth and so on....

    You mean I can get rid of that green field that microsoft gave me with XP??

    I actually like that green field...it brings back happy memories of when my second son was about 18 months and learning to talk and he used to watch the Teletubbies. Everytime I see the XP green field I expect to see Po, Dipsy, Laa-laa and Tinky-Winky jump out of itlol

    Haha...now you will all be saying "Et-ohhhh" when you see the green field!

    You like The Teletubbies?!?! :rolleyes:

    I am so thankfult that my son was never really a big fan. He was all into Barney, which was bad enough! And The Wiggles! AAAAGGH! God, I wanted to kill myself. He'd make me put on those damn Wiggles movies all the time. Before I knew it, I'd be singing the songs to myself at work! Barney and Wiggles was bad enough...I don't think I'd have been able to tolerate the Teletubbies too.

    No, personally I don't like the Teletubbies. In fact my older son, who was 5 at the time, I wouldn't allow to watch it, as it caused him to start speaking like a teletubby, which was a backward step in his development.

    Let me explain. My youngest son had speech problems and refused to talk. Teletubbies was actually created for very young children who have challenging communication issues. So I let my youngest watch it, and I have to agree, it brought forward his speech much faster and without the speech therapy intervention he was on the very long waiting list for. So, in its right place, the program had some very positive therapy :)
