You would have to either host them on your own site and advertise your services or get your photos out there on flickr.

Advertise on forums that your offering track day pics, and host on flickr and sort.
ebay if its just general pictures like wall art stuff.
own site if you can really be bothered, but alot of effort into that one, i havent updated mine since it was made as i just cba, plus i want a new design which is in the process of being done but taking a while as its being done in someones spare time so they dont get much chance to do it.

Massive waste of time mate. Go to any of these events and you'll see theres already loads of hobby photographers who are willing to sell pictures for pennies (or more likely free).
Theres sod all money in it, I wouldn't bother attending if your sole aim is to make money.

You will make fuck all money off it, I would just go as a hobby if anything, just to improve your photography. Massive waste of time trying to sell the pics.
Sorry if i'm sounding really negative but i've tried and persevered in this and still not even came close to making more than £50! So much time and effort, only thing I got from it is some experience and knowledge.
I know a few people on here that have done this, mainly apk (andy), butler, jonny, and myself.
Sorry to become a downer, but just putting it into reality Alex

If you go along and make something, see it as a bonus, but not likely.
The problem is that at amateur level, people can't see the point in spending much on photos as they can't use them for anything. £10 or £20 max.
I made money doing it by getting in with a team who've used my material for promo stuff, which they are willing to pay much better for.
Even so, not enough to earn a living. In fact didn't even pay for the lens I bought specially for their shots

I've never tried to sell individual shots, theres nothing in it really. I just give them away.
However, in things like wedding photography, there is.

Unless you are going to set yourself up with a mitsubishi mobile printer and all the kit and establish yourself as an event photographer there's not a lot of point in it. I know some event photographers that can make £1000+ for 1 event but my god they have work hard at it.
