Make Money with a Free Clip Art Website

January 21st, 2010

Koala Clip Art

Every day thousands of people use free clip art from the internet. You can make money with a free clip art website. You build the site (see my section on Build a Website). You make money with a free clip art website by adding Google adsense, afiliate links and/or paid advertisments to the site.

Begin by deciding on your market. You can build a general free clip art website and have a huge variety of images or you can focus on a small niche market. For example, you could target teens and make money with a free clip art website with images related to school, work, play etc. Or you could tarket businesses and have business related clip art images.

You can find free clip art images on the web (just don’t take them from other clip art sites). Or you can draw clip art yourself. You may want to hire an artist and share in the profits. To start a free clip art website you will want to have several hundred images.

Add your clip art images to the website you built and monetize it with adsense, links and advertisers. If your free clip art site is in a certain niche, contact advertisers who may be interested in reaching your target market. For example, if you are targeting college kids, you could contact a college text book reseller and see if they want to exchange links or advertise on your site. Offer them free clip art to use on their site if they credit your site.

Attract visitors to your site by posting on forums, blogs and at other sites. Encourage them to bookmark your site. Keep adding to your images so you build a great variety of free clip art. This will attract more visitors, which will increase the money you make with your free clip art website.

You will need containers, floral foam, lollipop sticks or skewers, old newspaper or tissue paper, cellophane and chocolate. Purchase containers at yard sales and thrift stores.

To earn at home with chocolate bouquets, buy items as inexpensively as possilble.

Stick the individual pieces of chocolate with skewers and wrap in cellophone. Tie to close with a ribbon. Stick in the floral foam.  You can also use individually wrapped miniature candy bars.

Advertise the bouquets at schools, craft shows, local businesses etc and take orders. Make each one individually as you get an order. Price your bouquets according to your costs. Charge for your time, labor and materials.

Face Painting for Fun and Profit!

March 28th, 2009

Face Painting is a low cost start up business that you can do for fun and profit. It’s easy to start up and can bring you income year round.

Start by selecting a few simple designs you can face paint on your customers. You can find clip art on the internet and print it off or draw your own. Remember the simpler the design, the faster you can paint it, the more customers you can paint, the more money you will make! Some face painters do full face designs but that can take a lot of effort and time. And no one wants to pay a lot for face painting so keep things simple. Some designs to consider: stars, balloons, cherries, flags, smiley faces, rainbows etc. Paint one example of each design, laminate or put it in a plastic sleeve and stick it on board to show customers their options.

Purchase non-toxic acrylic paints, body glitter, body jewels, and brushes at a discount or craft store. You will also need chairs, a table, and plenty of water.

Sign up to face paint at local craft shows, church picnics, school events fairs etc. Many of these charge a fee, so start small till you see what you can earn.

Set up your station. You may want to put up a balloon or streamers to attract attention. Keep the fee small one or two dollars for a simple design. Keep wet wipes and paper towels on hand for any mistakes.

Kids will love having their face painted and you will love the happiness you give them and the extra money in your pocket!
