Very interesting subject I actually brought this subject up on the list last year. Very few answers form the list...
I found stock-photo agencies who wnated 50 or more original slides - I wouldn't have any chance to make sure they wouldn't use them without paying me one cent! But - if you are good (not just at photographing, but you must know what the market and demand is - which photographs sells, which motivs and which "styles") and willing to take some risks - you can sell photographs. Some people do, for a living. I don't believe in selling photographs through your own web site. If you want to, you must make sure your site is easy to find from any major search-engine (yahoo, altavista, google etc.) Try contacting a marketing consultant.

I've reading Ron Engh's "Sellphoto.com" and setting up my own web page seem temping as I have quite a few unique and saleable images.. For those who have experiences with this, have you actively marketed your images towards potential clients? How much work is it to make your own (well designed) web page for someone who has never done this sort of thing before? Pål
