First, there are many different types of pictures you can sell online. As a professional you may be shooting weddings, portraits, school pictures, bar mitzvahs to quinceanera parties, sporting events to family reunions. The general term for this kind of photography is Event Photography. When selling event photography online it's best to have an e-commerce online storefront set up.
