- Get a Tumblr/Twitter/blog and post about your work. Prints for movies and TV shows are pretty hot right now too, but you could start by making posters of your own art. If you are a designer/illustrator, it's easier to make this happen. Then submit to poster blogs and everything else you can think of (without being excessively annoying and spamming friends) and wait.
- Buy things that go up in value and then sell them (age-old flipping).

- Just the popular thing to do right now. View: Olly Moss. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but find out whatever'sJaline
- popular right now and take shot at something like that. Requires a lot of work to keep up with blogs and forums thoughJaline
- Same concept for stock photos.Jaline
- It's usually easier to grab the market like that. If you want to keep your integrity, just find out whatever will sell out of yourJaline
- own work (instead of going for what is popular) and work with that to get money in some way. Sell it, license it, etc.Jaline

benfal, you might also want to look into selling your wares over on themeforest....they've got a dozen or so sister sites for just about anything you could think of...not sure what their rates are, or how much profit you'd make, but the sites are fairly popular... try graphicriver as well...

I designed, printed and sold tshirts for a couple of years.
Did OK from it but its a lot of work promoting it and ive still got two big boxes in my house of printed tees lol.Originally the idea was to do tees AND canvases.
This was the url.....It's for sale if anyone wants to buy it ;)

Me and the missus started our own brand of MacBook, iPad and iPhone sleeves recently.
Lots of work, lots of stuff to learn, a lot of that by trial and sometimes costly error—all a great and very rewarding experience though. We'll be launching a proper website soon, so far Etsy is great to test the waters and gain some feedback from customers.

ive got a couple of ideas for sites, one that i came up with over 2 years ago but we'd been too busy to build at work. We did start on it during a quiet time but never got it finished.
It's a site that would earn money via advertising so no real needs to touch the site once it's launched - it'd just grow itself.Another idea I came up with last month which is a stuuupidly simple idea that I think we're going to do at the start of next year.
It won't really make money other than if we add some advertising and offer that up. It's mainly just a PR exercise.

Here's an idea, has been done but this one's with a twist: launch a designer forum, use it to promote your expensive job adverts site, make gazillions.
The game-changing twist? Weed out spammers on your board!

I've been shooting a lot of cars lately.
http://oneladyowner.tumblr.com/I've been doing traditional contact sheets of them from film, and was thinking of doing large prints of around 6 negative bags. Then selling.

i just take a look at http://www.kickstarter.com for the first time, damn! people are getting truckload of money over there!

I think if you can get showcased in publications, on forums etc you get your exposure and build upon from there. In a way I think this is what kickstarter does, and gets people behind your idea.

Create a facebook game or iphone game and charge people for buying extra things they need to get to the next levels or to help them achieve goals easier.
Money literally for nothing!!!
