Make Money Online by Creating Simple Graphics

Do you want to know how to make cool images and where to sell them online?

Making money online with your writing is probably one of the most lucrative ways you can add to your work-at-home income.

But just because the possibility exists, doesn’t mean you’ll automatically start raking in the dough.

The truth is, lots of writers (like most of us who primarily write for Medium) actually struggle to make a decent buck from our writing, in spite of talent, experience, productivity and patience.

Does this sound like anyone you know?

While the first inclination may be to simply give up and throw in the towel, those of us who refuse to suffer defeat, always have a trick or two up our sleeves.

That’s because, if you ever want to increase your online income and get paid more than a few bucks here and there, you have to find other ways to monetize your writing.

Sometimes all it takes is incorporating some other talent or skill, in addition to or as a complement to your writing.

For instance:

By creating cool and easy to design graphics that you can make available to purchasers online.

By combining your writing skills with your image making activities, to create promotional ads you can sell to bloggers, web owners, and more.

In order to do this, let’s talk about two popular websites that you’re probably a little familiar with. But even though you recognize the names, you may not be aware of how the sites can truly benefit you the most.

So first, let’s talk about…

Where can you create easy graphics that you can sell to people online?

The first name I want to drop is Canva, a website that many writers on Medium typically turn to for the images that accompany their stories.

I’m not just a haphazard Canva user, I’m a Pro member and also an affiliate.

I think this is a super simple, user friendly site, with lots of diverse images of different types and styles. There are fun selections of clip art, as well as serious photos and pictures of real life images.

So you can find a variety of images to go with whatever mood you’re trying to convey with your writing.

We writers know what happens when we’re looking for an image online, to publish with a story we’ve written.

Sometimes you’re just not able to find the right image for a writing project. For your story to have the affect you want on readers, it may require combining multiple graphics, in order to end up with the exact image you need.

After doing this enough times, after a while, you start to get pretty good at creating cool images yourself! This is what happened to me.

For those of you freelancers who enjoy playing around with words and graphics; this could actually be the answer to the question…

How can you make money online?

Everyone would agree, that one of the very best ways to make money online is by doing what you enjoy.

Many writers or other individuals have a particular affection for different art forms, including: photography, drawing, painting, calligraphy, and more.

For those who do, it can be really enjoyable, having the ability to manipulate photos, images, and clip art that you find online and have authority to use.

It doesn’t take long, to learn how to arrange various types of graphics with informative text, in fancy fonts.

This is the stuff that marketable images are made of. With the help of websites like Canva, you can discover how to make money online, by selling your newfound skills.

Think about it…

It’s really just that easy to design your own graphics, and not just for the stories you write and publish on Medium.

If this is something you think you might enjoy doing, you can go so far as to sell the creative images you design, and even offer your services to create promotional ad images.

Where can you advertise and get paid for creating simple graphics?

The word Fiverr is another name that many writers on Medium is at least a little bit familiar with .

Just like Canva, the Fiverr website has been written about in great detail here on Medium.

In fact, I mention both of these sites, in my recent story on how to take advantage of some really popular money making resource sites.

Here’s My Short List of Profitable Sites that PAY You to Make Money!

Over the many years that I’ve been an online writer and marketer, I’ve used the Fiverr website lots of times, as both a Gig Provider and as a Buyer.

What I found to be one of the most profitable services that I was able to offer, was my ability to create promotional ad images for people who needed them.

Trust me, I’m a good writer, but I’m no graphics expert — YET, This can be a truly lucrative way to make money with your writing and limited graphic skills.

That’s because, no matter what business, service, product, or cause that a person wants to bring attention to online, they need a way to promote it.

A great way to do it is by having an effective and attractive promotional ad, that provides all the necessary details.
