I litterally create graphics from the time I get up till the time I go to bed, but I have NO income coming in from my passion. How can I get started making some solid money doing what I love most? I am a good designer too, so don't think I just suck LOL.
Well there are plenty of websites where you can send in designs and compete with others to get the money from the buyer. You could also design logod and website templates here on digitalpoint's forum. I will not mention any specific site here since I have personally not tried them out. But just do some google searches for work related to your passion. ^^
If you're looking to do quick and easy jobs, try Fiverr.com. I've used them (as a customer) and it's always been a smooth and easy process.
Try SEOClerks They allow you to set your own rates for your graphics work, rather than just the $5 fiverr allows you to charge.
If you think you are good enough why not look for a job as a graphic designer? They do a lot more than simply making graphics though. Maybe worth looking into
Get off the internet and talk to local businesses. Most small business owners don't have time to find a decent graphic designer to do a flyer/business card etc.. If you land yourself in enough laps you have a good chance of getting some work. Once small businesses find someone they can EASILY work with, they'll keep coming back. I have clients I've had for 15 years - not because I'm *exceptionally brilliant*, but because I'm the first person they think of when they need something done.
Like what other is saying here, use fiverr! If your skill in creating graphics is really that good! You'll be rich using fiverr!
Find a job that is related to making graphics like a website which need a good designer to make graphics, that's what I think.
hello , If you are a good designer with creativity then i would like to offer you a project to design our company brand identity. Here is the our company website (www-arts-af) . Go through it and let me know if you can come up with good designs. Thanks
is there are higher priced place than just fiverr? It seems the $5 is very small compared to the work done.
You Can get paid for making graphics everyday Join the ENVATO network O_O sell your work there I'm a Designer there i made over $30,000 so far in about 14 months from sales there.

Good Luck glad i could help. If your skilled like you say you are you shouldn't have any issues making a decent amount of money there.
Join different types of forums and in their market place, post your services and people will buy graphics from you. Many people on forums buy logos, signature, avatars, layout etc.
Why dont you build up a good portfolio in elance.com or freelance.com? Do not offer cheap service - if you are good customers are willing to pay for quality works. Just to motivate you, the money spent for the logo of London Olympics was $625,000!!! There is money in what you do, and if you follow your passion and not give up, I am sure you will have a successful career!! I wont even call it a job, as you are doing what you like -you will be living the dreams
