A lot of people seem to be born with a creative streak, and yet few of them take advantage of it. We are all creative to some degree, but you need to take the time to find and unlock your specific brand of creativity. You may be an ‘out-of-the-box’ thinker with innovative solutions to everyday problems. 

Too many people associate the word creativity with drawing, writing, and acting. The truth is that there are other forms of creativeness that a person can have and use to make some money. 

Here are some ideas on how you can put your creativity to work: 

Get your products online 

If you’re always busy making something, you need a platform to sell them on if you want to make some money. A lot of people sell their art, jewelry, and needlecraft online. There are different strategies you can pursue, such as marketplaces on Facebook or Etsy. It would help if you also looked for other independent online stores to help you sell your products. 

Put pictures of your products on your social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram. The people who like and share it could be offering you a link to a potential customer. Always deliver on what you promise by keeping to delivery schedules and offering clients top-quality service.

Blog

If you have a way with words, you can start a blog to earn some money. Once your blog starts gaining traction online, you’ll have companies lined up wanting to advertise on it. You’ll also be able to earn a small commission on every click on the ad on your blog. 

You can also offer to endorse certain products and services in exchange for cash. A lot of travel bloggers don’t even need to pay for their trips. By endorsing airlines and hotel chains, their vacations are sponsored, as long as they include a mention of their sponsors in their blogposts. 

To make a success of blogging, you should always do make sure that you publish fresh, original content regularly. Have an interesting story to tell and a creative way of telling it. 

Sell your photographs 

If you’re an avid photographer, you also have a chance to make yourself some money. You can sell your photos online to stock photo companies, who will pay top dollar for interesting images. You can also take assignments to take photographs for companies for their websites. 

Alternatively, offer your services as a photographer part-time. Get family and friends to recommend you and grow your reputation by word of mouth. As you get more work, make sure you compile a portfolio of your work to show potential customers. People appreciate seeing an example of what they can expect if they hire you. 

Show others 

People always want to learn new skills from others who can impart them. Share videos of yourself demonstrating your talents so that viewers can learn from them. Always caption your videos, as more and more people are inclined to watch them without sound. From how to draw something to how to bake a souffle, there are many creative processes you can share online. 

If you’ve got a knack for writing, you could write a ‘how-to’ ebook to publish online. If you’ve got the idea, but you’re not a wordsmith, consider collaborating with a friend who is good at writing. Between the two of you, you’ll come up with a must-read, which will only be the first of many projects to come.
