Earn money with Stockphotos
Yes! So you guys ready to know my secret?! ahaha.. Tadaaaaaaaa it's like this :)
First of all register with Paypal - http://www.paypal.com/
Why? Paypal? Well once you've earn from stockphotos, your earnings will be transferred here. Very secure transaction site. You need to have credit card for verification only. Once verified, you can use your paypal for transfering money or accepting it from other parties. This is also very useful if you're doing freelance from other countries.
Now the steps!
You have 2 option to earn money.
Option 1 - Camera
1) Use your camera to snap pictures. What pictures? Anything. Anything you find unique. Scenery, objects, etc.
2) Make sure it's high resolution. Probably around 300dpi and no noise.
3) No brand names allowed to be submitted to these sites, so double check before you submitting it.
4) Upload it to the stockphoto sites. Once it has been approved, and someone download it, YOU GET PAID. Depends on the downloads, you can earn up to 1.00 per-image.
Option 2 - Vectors
If you're good in drawing using Illustrator, you can use it to earn money too.
Same way like above, just make sure your output format for vectors are (.ai) or high resolution (.jpg) format.
Your vectors can consist of shapes, objects (2D or 3D), motive etc.
These are the stockphotos sites which you'll be submitting your photos/artwork
Dreamstime - http://dreamstime.com/
Shutterstock - http://submit.shutterstock.com/
Stockxpert http://www.stockxpert.com/
Big Stock Photos - http://www.bigstockphoto.com/
I've been submitting my vectors whenever I got time. So far I've earn USD$450 = RM 1,620.00. That's like 4 months period :). My other friends earn more than me.. some even get paid higher than their salary lol! Serious..
Once you got paid, you can shop at ebay :)
That's all! Hope that helps. If not, let me know and I'll try to help you out :)
Cheers!

If I were to compare my vector techniques or Photoshop techniques, I think I am no match to Thines and Rames. Photography pulak, mine is like setengah jalan saja.

Online betting - http://www.bet365.com/
Yesh, I am a bad influence. :P
[Thines] Yeah, I know Rames is pro when it comes to designing softwares. Btw, you got internet at home to hon your skills? I tell you what, I've seen your works in DeviantArt and I'm bloody impressed with it. Wonder if I can get any pointers from both of you cos I know how to use Illustrator a little ( self-learning ). But, I find it pretty hard to draw with it. Is it by sketching, scanned and then trace the lines???
