Internet Moonlighting
Sunday, November 06, 2005

Big on ideas? Short on resources? The internet can be a great equalizer. You can get up and running in little time without much overhead.

Smugmug
People love to have pictures, but rarely enjoy missing out on the fun because they're behind a camera. Your can be that person stuck behind the camera for them. Go out to outdoor events with your camera, some place with big inflatables jumping-rooms for kids is usually great. Snap pics and hand out business cards with your Smugmug web address where photo prints can be previewed and purchased. $99.95/year for a pro account. Upload photos, set the markup price and keep 85%. Smugmug handles payment processing, photo printing and delivery.

PixelLogo
Become a create genius. PixelLogo does all the creative work and delivers the digital files to you. You can customize their work (logos, web templates and stationery) for your own clients needs. Very high-quality at a great price to resell. For example, with as little as $75, you can get a package of 12 stylized web templates . That's 12 templates for under $6.25 a piece.

Cafepress
The whole world is waiting to purchase a photo of your cat on a mousepad. Irony. Ha. Anyway you create it and Cafepress can print it on-demand on a variety of gifts and specialty products. Publish your own books and music here also.

MailerMailer
Once you've got your side business up and running, keep your customers up to date (and generate repeat business) with your latest services via an e-newsletter. Send up to 200 outgoing emails per month with a free account from MailerMailer.

James, thanks for the comment. You're right, you don't have to be a genius to buy stock art, slap your customer's name on it and sell them business cards, t-shirts, promotional items, etc. at a profit. However I'm relunctant to say that their work looks prefab. Their work is more on par with an ad agency than Art Explosion 500,000 clipart.

Personally, I have saved a ton of money and time with their work.

On one project, I spent $35 for a single logo for the look and branding on advertising, information cards, banners, posters, website, media jackets, and more. The one thing we didn't use was the stationery templates they supplied at no extra charge.
