Hey all,
Over the last few years I have been experimenting with making money over the internet. Being a very creative person I naturally took on to web design. However, I soon found that it was too time consuming for my liking and it rarely paidf off. Whilst playing around with Photoshop which someone bough me as a present I started to learn the essential techniques of graphic designers. Before I knew it I was able to make basic logos that could be sold at a price. Not long after discovering this I found a site that did forum auctions on logos. A customer requests a logo and states a price and designers submit their ideas. The customer can then pick the one they like and buy it (usually through PayPal). Step 1 >> Buy Abobe Photoshop for a relatively cheap price off of eBay Step 2 >> Try out a range of Photoshop tutorials available. There are thousands out there. I use Good Tutorials.com. You should do this until you become familiar with the software. Step 3>> Join a FREE forum that deals with logo design and look for requests. Maybe offer to design some logos for FREE to build up your portfolio. I use NamePros.com. Step 4>> Start submitting your designs until you strike gold. There are many other ways of doing something like this but I am just telling you the way I did it. Good Luck! Kevin |

Wow, I think its great you can make money with something you maybe didn't knew you could make! I mean, if that someone hadn't bought the program for you you maybe didn't know you were good in making those logos! And its very kind of you that you share it with others!
Bet you don't make logo for free anymore huh? hahaha tooo bad if thats so, I need a logo for my site!! Succes with what your doing anyway |

I was just reading this post and wondering in this cyber world of free stuff will someone really pay for a logo ?
I have made a couple of sites and either i have made my own logos of got them free of cost. Try doing a google with free logo and you'll think twice about this idea ! No offense Cheers. |

QUOTE(varunone @ Jun 8 2005, 06:40 AM) I was just reading this post and wondering in this cyber world of free stuff will someone really pay for a logo ? I have made a couple of sites and either i have made my own logos of got them free of cost.  It is unlikely that the original poster was talking about targeting individuals or small buissnesses. I guess there are companies out there who prefer professional services (and are willing to pay for it) to the free ones, and do not have the time to make the logos themselves - it's simply not their job. I agree in that I would probably not buy logos, simply because I can't afford to  , but that doesn't mean that there aren't people out there who will buy 'em...

This is a great idea. I currently only have Paint Shop Pro but I hope to buy CS2 soon. I do all sorts of image editing purely as a hobby and I think it's great that you can make money out of doing something you enjoy, with no limitations to imagination etc. This is great information, thank you very much.

Wow...this is definetely interesting. Sound honest...I'm going to try this out...
Macromedia Fireworks can also do the job though...I don't know why people prefer to use Photoshop. Maybe it's a matter of preference? -Shackman |

Yeah, this is good idea and someone can earn nice money with designing. But you have to be very good, becouse the competition is quite big here. You have to build a nice page with your portofolio. You have to post on relevant boards to get some clients. And there is much more work...
sorry for next post, I just wanted to add: But the money is really there. Just today I payied $25 for one banner. |
