It's true that most of the easy money making ideas evolve around writing. But don't despair if that's not your strong suite.
Where there is written material, there is often a need for graphics, too. Pictures capture the eyes of the visitor, and drag them into reading the article. So, if you can create graphics, you have an easy way in which to make money online.
What Types of Graphics are in Demand?
People need ordinary pictures and photographs to either illustrate blog posts or books, plus designs around with which they can create their own graphics.
If you're a good photographer, you can sell your photographs online through different services such as iStockphoto and Fotolia - and many others.
But there are other artistic ways by which you can make money.
Are you good at using programs like PhotoShop, Illustrator or Paint Shop Pro?
Great, because a growing number of people need all kind of graphics such as banners, header graphics, 'buy now' buttons, icons, logos etc.
Thematic graphics are also interesting. Create images for Christmas, Easter, summer, winter, and so on.
Or take advantage of people's interest in social sites such as Facebook and MySpace, and create graphics to say 'Welcome'; 'Thank you for the ad', or any of the other things that people say to each other on a frequent basis.
What If You Cannot Afford PhotoShop or Illustrator?
If you're on a shoestring budget, you can still make money by creating graphics. You just need a cheaper program than PhotoShop or Illustrator.
Some programs are even totally free, such as Gimp, which you can use both on a Windows PC, Linux, or a Mac.
Just do a search for 'Gimp' online, and you'll find the different versions as well as great tutorials that will help you get started with this program.
If you prefer a program that works with vector graphics, you can acquire Inkscape for free. You can do quite impressive pieces of graphic art with this program and, again, there are versions for Windows, Linux and Mac.
You will not be left on your own should you decide to go with this program; several brilliant tutorials will get you going in a snap.
Where Do You Sell Your Graphics?
You can offer your services on relevant forums; on your home page and through services who also sell photographs.
Another idea is to be creative and ask somebody with a big mailing list if you can do a Joint Venture. In this way, you can both make money, and many list owners will be only too happy to accept such an offer.
