4 Jan 2011I love everything about SmugMug. But my favorite part is simply the value. My entire site is run right within SmugMug with no need of an expensive hosting service or fancy provider. By keeping my costs down, I’m able to keep my services affordable. Also, being able to sell my work within my site for any amount I wish, versus the set/recommended prices like other more expensive sites, I’m able to sell more products. The proceeds I get from my online sales pay for my SmugMug annual fee and then some. I recommend SmugMug to any photographer I meet and to my own students who are starting businesses of their own. I can’t imagine my business without it.

4 Jan 2011One Feature? I love the hands-free we’ll take care of prints and orders. I love the customization possibilities and unlimited uploading. I love the UI and the support when something goes awry. I love the Direct publishing from Adobe Lightroom 3…FHEW, what isn’t there to love, really!?!

4 Jan 2011Well, it would have to be the ability to do all the business related end of photography all in the same place. And direct publishing from Lightroom. Sweet!

4 Jan 2011It really is too hard to name just one thing. I love the integration! I love that I can publish directly from Lightroom. I love that when I or my clients want to order prints, it’s all done for me. It’s a great prize, thanks Scott!
Jon Stolarski
4 Jan 2011The ability to sell prints and have promotion/coupons is a great feature. Since I only know basic HTML & CSS this is a great feature for someone like me who cannot write the code by myself.
Jim Denham

4 Jan 2011Best reason to love SmugMug is Bayphoto – really good print quality, and great customer support. But having your selling and your brand wrapped into one on SmugMug is an excellent feature. Not to take away from Zenfolio…but SmugMug is the place to beat.
Dena
4 Jan 2011Love everything about SmugMug! Great giveaway Scott!
Michelle Smith
4 Jan 2011My favorite part is the Support Heroes and the dgrin forum :)

4 Jan 2011My favorite feature would be the fact I can sell things right from my smugmug account.
Didier Kaade
4 Jan 2011I love the selling option of smugmug, and the vault for storage… I’m so happy that if my house burns down, and someone breaks into my super secret location and steals my backup, and My computer crashes all at the same time, I know I have a safe place for my pictures! :D

4 Jan 2011Love them, because they are real picture-lovin’ freaks!!! + support ROCKS.
Chris Nitz
4 Jan 2011One feature…I don’t know if I can narrow it down that far. I like the LR3 integration, how easy it is to sell, their love for BayPhoto, and how fast it loads up. Their support is top notch as well. Just a great company!
Rod Cole

4 Jan 2011I am just starting out in photography and have been to their site a few times. I would absolutely love a year membership! The tools they have, especially for someone starting out, are amazing. I like the pricing tools, and the fact that clients can order directly without me having to do all the input. Oh what a gift if I won!
Iza
4 Jan 2011I am looking into selling my photos on my own, not only through microstock agencies, and from what I hear SmugMug is great solution for that.
Sheila Rose
4 Jan 2011I love how easy SMug is to customize… yet it also lets me play with code to make it totally mine. And the SMug heros are always there to rescue me if I have a problem.
btw.. this is the year I start trying to sell… seriously sell my images on SMug.
