7 ways to make money online with your illustrations. If you are a talented artist, you might find it difficult to promote and sell your work online and offline. So here is a list of 7 of the easiest ways you can use to help you sell your artwork online and earn a decent living doing what you love most!
1- Micro stock photography agencies.
This is the first thing that I have tried when I wanted to make a little money on the net with my cartoons. And it works! Most agencies will give you around 0.25$ to 10$ each time someone is downloading one of your images! So, imagine if you manage to get 500 downloads a month!
This method is probably the easiest one to start with. But to make decent money, you need to create several images to submit. If you can upload 100 images or more, then you should really consider this option!
2- Offering your services.
If you are designing cartoon characters for example, you can always submit your portfolio to agencies that are providing character creation to their clients. Most of them are looking for freelancer and will generally give you a 50 to 70% commission.
3- Sell your artwork on Ebay.
Selling your work on Ebay is a good and easy way to get noticed. But to become a "super seller", you will need to work really hard to build a crowd of faithful visitors that will purchase your artwork. Still, Ebay remains a good solution for someone who wants to make money by selling products online.
4- Creating Ecards.
Some online agencies are always looking for new talents to design their Ecards. Why not submit your work to these specialize website and start designing some cool Electronic greeting cards?
5- Get noticed on Youtube
If you are good at drawing, with not offer some drawing lessons on Youtube? Once people are watching your videos and start learning to draw, you can put a link back to your site! This free traffic will then be pre-sold to your artwork and they will become potential customers!
6- Sell products with your images on Cafepress.
Cafepress is a great and easy way to make money by selling any kind of products with your design on them! You can easily open a basic shop (it's free!) and start creating any kind of design that you can apply to dozen and dozen of different articles!
7- Build you own website!
I save the obvious one for last! Building a website is easy! Building a website with good traffic is not! I have been lucky enough to find the perfect solution to build and promote a successful website to promote my work!
I hope that you too will have the opportunity to promote your artwork online and make a decent living out of it!
