This one is for all those who have their creative juices flowing. If you have a designer hiding inside of you, nothing like Internet to bring it out. You can create your own brand, sell your designs and earn money from it too. Without the need to open a store, or actually hawk your wares on street corners!
Internet is full of quirky stuff and people. If you have a flair for designing cool images or designs, here a way for you to make money off it. Create your designs and upload them onto numerous sites that work with designers. These sites will then use your image on t-shirt, bags, books, calendar, poster anything. You name it they do it. When the company makes sale of the product featuring your design, it will pay you a commission for your artwork. Isn’t it cool! For all those of you who have a repertoire of designs but not place to showcase them, Internet is your best medium.

How to Make Money from this:
- Collect your art work and head over to the sites which will help you make money off it. Register on these sites; fill in all your details. Upload your artwork; make sure it adheres to the site guidelines. Most sites do not accept pornographic and violent artwork.

If retro designs are more in fashion, try to include a couple of those in your work, this will bring in more sale and money for you.
