Making money with Art

Was written as an ebook to sell but I decided to release the information for free and without having to "PM me" to get it. Just trying to help the community with methods that make money. 😅

I will be covering 3 different methods on how you can make money with this ebook.

Being an artist myself, I realized that there is potential in selling art via the internet or in person to an unsuspecting victim.

Realize that you might have to invest a little bit of money to make money.

People buy art simply because they admire the work of others. Attempting to interpret the meaning behind a painting or just admiring the color and talent behind each artistic creation.

Let’s get to it.

1) Posters

Ever seen posters of something at the store and wished to buy but couldn’t buy or didn’t want to spend the money because it was too expensive?

I have a simple solution for you using high quality paper that you can purchase off the internet for cheap and make your money back plus 500% profit.
You can buy “photo papers” 8”x11” US size papers from the store or online for a very good price.
You will obviously need a printer to print the images. Preferably Inkject type of ink.
For example:

This type of paper is perfect for making posters.
Now, you might wonder what can I make posters of?
Think about this.
Weddings, birthdays, events, parties, video games, famous people, cars, etc...
At these situations usually want some sort of big posters on their walls.

If you are willing to put some real work, you can do some research on posters that sell for thousands, like old movie posters for example:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trkparms...p=16&_sc=1
You can offer your services as a person that makes posters. Going to a professional place to make posters isn’t going to be cheap at all, so you can be the go-to-person for high quality cheap posters.

Now, the step of actually making the posters is quite simple and it can be easily learned on this video:

You should be all set after following those simple instructions on making posters. The possibility of making money out of this is truly unlimited and it will be up to you on how much money you want to make.

You can go to google and search “cool pictures” and look at the images. You can print lots of those images and make posters out them to sell.

2) Making fake painted pictures

Maybe you have heard of this before where people make fake famous paintings to make lots and lots of money.

Well, the same can be done with simple tools and very basic knowledge. You don’t have to be an extremely talented artist to pull it off but you do have to put some work painting and you can relax yourself getting the artistic side of you out.

Let me explain,

You will need to first Google images for example this:

[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/Monet_Water_Lilies_1916.jpg[/img]

By looking at the image, you can estimate that the painting is maybe 4 8”x11” pieces of regular printing paper.

Ok, now let me explain on it can be recreated easily.
2 possible forms.
1. Use regular printing paper and the same video above for posters to print the image on 4 regular printing paper, don’t use the photo paper as it is glossy.
Once you have the images printed out, do this.
Get oil, like cooking oil. Any kind of cooking oil and place a layer of thin oil throughout the images evenly and allow it to dry for a couple of hours. You can apply the oil with a painting brush or a toothbrush.

Once the oil has dried, you can use cheap paint to simply paint over the printed image simply so when a person feels the top of the image, you can feel the sensation of paint. You will have to mix the paints and try to get the same color as the printed paper.

You can buy cheap paint sets from Walmart for around $3-4 with brushes included.

Once you have done that, you will need to add the pieces of paper into 1 whole.

To add the pieces of paper together, you will have to add sufficient paint under each paper and place each one ontop of one another so it acts as glue with paint but I recommend doing this until the end once the image is on the paper.
Focus on adding layers of paint along the edges of the paper so it looks natural. Place the final painting on a flat surface and try to put it outside so it gets sunlight.

2. This other method once again involves using cooking oil to make the piece of paper more transparent and have the sensation of being hand made.

Add a layer of oil again and print a drawn picture and simply trace the picture. You can print it as a poster to make a big fake handdrawn image by tracing it by hand.

3) Making graphical shirts

Again, another method to make easy money but an investment has to be made to make money off it.

Ever seen a shirt with a really cool picture on it but it was too expensive to buy?

This is the solution to making those shirts yourself and reselling them for a profit.

You will need:
1) Speedball to imprint images on a shirt
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=spee...m270.l1313

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE9loi8E8...Q&index=89

2) T-shirt transfer paper

You can buy pieces of paper where you can iron images on a shirt.
For example:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trkparms...p=15&_sc=1

Or the actual paper

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=inkj...86.c0.m359

They sell for around 10 pieces of paper for $5-7

Now you can print shirts about anything and sell them for a good profit and make your money back easily.

You can buy blank shirts on different colors very cheaply where they sell used clothes or online as bulks.
You might invest $3-4 per shirt but can make a profit of around $20 per shirt.

For example:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Youre-Killing-Me...247wt_1139

That’s being sold for $16.99 and obviously all they did was print the words over the shirt.

Or for example, focus on printing shirts on what’s “cool” based on the standards of today like music, video games, etc...

Here’s an example of what some old Beatles shirts sell for:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trkparms...513&_pgn=1

That’s all I got to say.
I know that you will have to make some investments but you will surely make money if you put in a little effort to see results.

And here's some proof that it pays off quite well if you put in the work:

Thanks, but I'm not perfect.
I'm just like everyone else.
Only difference is that I like to help others more than a typical person.

I'm glad to have helped you.
It's people like you who maintain my gratitude towards the entire community and always give me the energy to write more for others to learn.

this one need some skill. but very good

This is all great and all, but what about when it comes time to actually sell the product? Great tutorial on how to find the materials and how to make the product, but you need to put into account the amount you invest and the amount you predict to profit off of.

You can not assume that all products will be sold in a reasonable amount of time. You would want to calculate your niche, set up only a few at a time and test the waters before flushing a lot of money in at one time.
If they sell quickly, scale slowly. Scale too much and have left over product before the sale month is over, you must scale down to retain your profit margins.

Looks like an awesome method but selling the actual product might be hard.
