How to get paid for your designs and creativity

3 Comments | Rating: 0 | |

If you are like me and have some creative bones in your body, then you may be interested in turning that creativity into profit. There are many sites online that will pay for your creativeness. Some sites pay you to write, blog, read ads, or to perform some other tasks.

Spreadshirt is a great site that will allow you to upload your artwork and design tshirts, sweatshirts, mugs, and other items with your designs or artwork on them. They give you a free online store where you can refer people to and handle all of the sales transactions, shipping, etc. All you have to do is get people to buy your merchandise. You don't have to be a great artist either. You can come up with some funny slogans, or cute sayings to put on babie onsies and then just tell the world.

Things You Will Need

Spreadshirt Account
Original Artwork or ideas
Customers

Selling your own merchandise online can be a rewarding activity. Whats even better is when you see people wearing clothes or using items that you've designed. The only drawback for me is that it takes time to really come up with good designs or artwork that i am proud of. I've scrapped a lot of drawings and ideas, just like i do with my writings.

Tips & Warnings

DO NOT use designs or artwork that is not yours as you may be infringing on copyrights or trademarks
Try to design things that you would wear or use, in other words, think like a consumer
Tell as many people you can about your online store to help maximize your sales
