    Figured that since we're all designers, you'd find this useful:

    http://www.presidiacreative.com/5-ways-for-designers-to-make-more-money/

    In these rather tulmultuous economic times, it is often hard for designers to make ends meed. Clients are harder to come buy, and designers suffer by having to compete harder with each other to win contracts. Sometimes this can force a designer to have to abandon freelancing, or take on another job, or work even harder.

    Today, we have a list of 5 ways that designers can make more money. There is some very solid advice here, so be sure to try out some of these tips and techniques in order to help make ends meet this year.

    Hey thanks for the great tips, I like the stock photo idea
    and also the 10 places to sell templates

    I also think giving away templates to build a mailing list or to get more traffic to a site is a great way to make more money.

    Thanks for the very helpful tips.

    I got everything down except for the "partner to compliment my skills" part.

    I know people who make $2000 a year from just a few stocks. Might not sound like much, but if you follow with the other advice, to invest, $2000 a year will grow to a nice sum for retirement.
