How to Earn Money Online Being a Graphic Designer


A Graphic Designer with highly creative skills can easily earn money online. All you have to do is to make logos, website templates, flash animations etc in software's like Photoshop, Corel, and Flash. There are plenty of online marketplaces which have several clients looking for a perfect designer.

You have to create your portfolio and showcase it on your personal website. Designers have options of work like creating a logo, business card, letterhead, home-page / inner-page template of website, banners etc.

If you have knowledge of flash you may also make animation for various clients for their websites or to make educational CD's.

Points to keep in mind while working online are:-

1. Beware of cheaters who will never pay after getting the work done. To ensure this ask for some upfront payment.

2. Keep the size of your designs small as all online work needs to be lighter in size.

3. Learn new skills from the experts in the trade. New versions of all software's come up and you must purchase them to learn the new features as soon as possible.

4. Keep a high battery back-up for your computer or laptop in case of emergencies of work.

5. Your internet connection should be reliable otherwise change for better as your online work is mostly dependent on your internet speed and up-time.

The designs you make have to be contextual and should relate to the products of the company. You may keep some designs ready for general industries like automotive, handicrafts, E-Commerce stores etc. You may make some little customized changes in these designs and offer to your customers. This will help you save time for critical work.

Your mind should always look for new ideas as the Graphic Designer has to be creative. Come out of your studio often to take ideas from friends and surroundings.

Before taking up work clear all your doubts regarding the job like size of the picture / image, color theme or any other specification required by the client. Always stick to client's specification as you are making graphics for your client and not yourself. You may make suggestions but don't force your suggestion to the client.

Never work for free, you have to do self- evaluation of your skill and quote your own prices which should be reasonable.

Clients mostly like to view PDF or JPG file so don't try to send them in any other format unless they specifically ask for it. Keep them involved by showing the sketches of your work at all stages. Keep in touch with the client at regular intervals. If your customers like your work you may have repeated business and you may earn decent amount of money online on a regular basis.
