I came across a forum discussing the benefits of posting items for sale on Zazzle. Basically, the idea is to load images and create products such as mouse mats, T-shirts, cups and other products illustrated by your pictures. I’ve opened a store and tried to create one product – a baby’s T-shirt with a lovely image of a bengal kitten – and we will see how it goes. It costs nothing to join or post products – you get a commission when the item is purchased.

Update on making money from Business Cards

Filed under: "How-to" articles,Stock Photography — admin @ 1:03 pm

Some time ago, I started uploading images onto a web site called PrintBusinessCards.com for use as backgrounds on business cards. The start up process is a little involved as you need to get the right format of TIFF image, but it is actually quite amusing going through your stock of photographs and thinking of what would make an interesting business card. Sometimes it is the strangest designs! I’ve continued doing this from time to time, and currently have 55 templates on the site. I’ve made $35 so far – not great, but the cards just sit there being picked up from time to time, and so it was worth the effort bearing in mind the fun I had in trying to be artistic. You can see my business card artist page via the link!
