How to Publish Your Photo Calendar

Photo calendars can be created and published for different reasons. They make personal and meaningful gifts for birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day and Father's Day. You can also create a photo or art calendar through a self-publishing site and sell them to the public. This is a great idea for photographers, illustrators and artists to make some extra money.

  • Digital photo or art files

Instructions

      Take your favorite snapshots and arrange them for a handmade calendar.

      Create a photo calendar by hand. Print calendar pages from a free calendar pages website. Take photos and tape or glue them onto pieces of paper the same size as the printed calendar pages. With a glue stick, glue pages together as a calendar, with a picture page on top and the calendar at the bottom. Other things can be added to your photo pages, such as scrapbook elements, charms, tags and decorative paper. You can go to a local print shop and have it laminated and spiral bound if you like. You can also punch holes and tie ribbon through the holes to keep your calendar together. Don't forget to punch a hole at the top of your calender so you can hang your calendar on the wall.

      Turn your family pet into the star of its own photo calendar.

      Use personal photo sites to create a photo calendar on an already designed and existing template. You can usually pick from a number of different templates that fit the feel of your photos. Because these sites have templates, you don't need to worry about getting the months and year correct, as that is usually automatic. Just select your photos, upload and preview. These kinds of calendars do cost, but they are convenient because you can order many of the same kind at the same time and just pay for shipping.

      Create a custom art or photography calendar that you can sell to your fans.

      Create a photo or art calendar from a self-publishing site like Zazzle or CafePress. If you are an aspiring photographer or artist, this can be quite lucrative, especially if you already have a number of followers. These sites are similar to the sites in Step 2, but they usually have the option of selling online to people from around the world. After setting up an account, upload your photos or art files into the selected templates. Put the calendar's URL or link on your website or social networking site to spread the word that your art or photo calendar is available for purchase.
