Can You Profit From Selling Your Personal Photos Online?

Profitable Online Amateur Photography? Does it exist? I guess we'll have to see.  Since I was really little (probably 3 or 4) I have been fascinated by photography.  My very first camera came out of an old closet at my parent's house, and where ever it came from to end up there... I have no idea.  It was an old box kodak-very similar to the one pictured here.  It didn't work, or perhaps it did before I got my wandering, poking, probing child hands on it.  But either way, it was so neat to look through the viewfinder and see the world through the amber colored lens of yesteryear. 

So I've always been in love with snapping photos whenever I can.  Most recently for my 26th birthday, my wonderful husband surprised me by letting me pick out a camera that we could use to memorex the beginning of our lives together (as we were married only a month prior).  We do alot of traveling, and wanted to begin collecting deeply detailed photos and videos from our trips together... only our 10 mpx camera was no longer cutting it.  We bought a Canon Powershot, and I do believe I have discovered a whole new love for photography. 

I'd love to start selling my photos on etsy (http://crcurlygirlie.etsy.com/ if you're interested), so I enlisted the help of some fellow etsy chatters for their advice in listing their personal photos for sale.  With the internet providing an open door for people to right-click & pirate photos at anytime, I will have to be careful on my future endeavors in selling my photos.  Tell me some of your amateur photographer experiences with selling online!  I need help in deciding...
