Make Money with Design Work Without Needing to Actually Design

Written by admin on August 7, 2008 – -

I’m sure there are tons of people who have no idea on how to design logos, banners, headers or entire themes but that shouldn’t stop you from making money from it. Now, I’m not trying to confuse you but you can play the middleman and still make money from design work.

Let me explain.

The graphic designing business is definitely a great money maker because there are so many people who have no idea how to do it and I bet a majority are too lazy busy to learn. This is where you come in to help them.

Say you have no idea on how to make a design (and I’m sure there’s tons of us out there) but you know tons of people who need designs done (and that’s virtually every blogger out there and more!), you can simply play the middleman and still make money without designing a single thing.

There’s a bunch of ways to do it but essentially you want to find a designer who does work for very cheap. If you look right, there are tons of people willing to make full banners for less than $5.00 USD and they’re good quality. Basically you find someone who wants a banner design done and charge them, say, $15-$20. Then you just made a profit of $10-$15 for doing nothing but knowing people who need designs done.

You can also not pay the designer any money and make all the money for yourself . If you go to Entrecard.com, you will find tons of people willing to make designs for Entrecard credits. Now, Entrecard credits are free, you just earn them and there are plenty of easy ways to earn them without doing much work.

I’ll write about Entrecard in a later post.

Now, your job is to find people who want the designs. Well, you can find tons on Entrecard.com but I would hit up various forums such as Digitalpoint or any other one that has people in need of a design. Just post a thread and watch people come to you in a hurry.

And if none of the above works for you or you feel it’s too much work, there’s one last way of doing this.

You go to a local business and ask if they are willing to have you design a logo to represent them (or you can find anyone in need of a logo). Once they allow you, try to work out the price for the logo between $50-$100 (basic ones go for around that price but you can try to milk out more). After you agree on the price you tell them you’ll get them a few examples.

Here’s the easy part. Go to a forum like Digitalpoint to the contest section and start a new thread to pay a designer $25 to make a logo for you. There will be tons of entries which will equal tons examples for your client.

Then after that, you simply let your client choose, they pay you, you pay the ‘winner’ of the logo contest and you just made a profit without designing a single thing!

Hope that makes sense. Any questions, feel free to ask!

Banner Designs, Ad Designs, Headers and Logos for Cheap

Written by admin on August 2, 2008 – -

If you’re looking for good banner designs, headers and logos for a very affordable price, you should check out DatMoney.com. By the way, this is in no way a paid review of any sort.

But a lot of bloggers and webmasters are always in need of banner designs and logos to represent themselves. And a majority of people don’t have the knowledge of designing a banner or logo for themselves, or maybe they’re too lazy. Well, I found a great place that charges only $6.00 USD for a small banner designs and $21.00 USD for headers, large banner designs as well as logos.

Honestly, every place I have found charges at least $50 for a logo design and usually $25+ for regular banner designs.

Now, if you’re like me, that would usually be out of your price range. Plus, you want to get the most for your money and it based on DatMoney’s Banner Designs page with a bunch of his examples, he does a hell of a job.

Check out his various banner designs, headers and logos he has created when you can! And if you like the header of this blog, well, you know where I went to get it designed!

Great Banner Designs for Cheap!

Written by admin on July 23, 2008 – -

As you know, banner designs are a great way to help people identify you.  Aside from your blog logo, your banner designs would appear in just as many locations.  I mean, a lot of people would recognize your banner design from a mile away, right?

Well, a lot of people don’t have the time or skills to make their own banner designs or logos so they either make one that looks like a sixth grader did it or hire someone.  Well, I know of a great place to get your banner designs, headers and logos done for cheap.  Matter of fact, these banner designs are cheaper than anywhere I have seen and on top of that it’s actually great quality too!

If you’re ever in need of a banner design, header or logo done, check out this great banner designs service.  And I heard if you get a large banner, logo or header done, you also get a permanent backlink/ad spot to your site from a PR3 page!

Now who can beat that?

Focus on Quick Cash or the Long Term Deal?

Written by admin on June 2, 2008 – -

Quick cash will happen often but is that the best way to go? Do you focus on getting the cash now even if it’s not that much or do you focus on the long term and the future? But what the future isn’t a guarantee in making tons of money.

For instance, would you sell a permanent ad spot on your blog for $1,000? That may sound lovely because it’s a thousand dollars going into your pocket up front, but what if your site gets so big that you could charge twice that much a month? Now you’re screwed for the remainder of the time your blog is up and running.

Now my other instance is the fact that I do banner designs for a cheap price and I get a decent amount of people requesting them. Yes, it takes time which is probably the most expensive thing you cannot replace. And I have projects that may possibly help me get a LOT more money in the near future.

So, decisions, decisions…

Currently, I’m setting my priorities to make the cash now and balance my time so I can work on my future projects as well. But it’s so hard and I may have to make a decision and settle for only one soon.

What would you do?
