Because we all want to make more, there are a number of ways we can do the work we love and still make extra income. Beyond the extra revenue, these outlets are great for advancing one’s own skills and focusing more on one’s own creativity, rather than client needs for once. Here are ten ways to make more money (either actively or passively) as any sort of creative person.

Time is money! How many times have you heard that tired little refrain?
Well, the truth of it is, time is money, especially when you’re a freelancer, and more specifically, if you’re a web designer and developer, like me.

"Dealing with ups and downs in terms of your work level is part of being a freelancer. Yesterday we looked at ways you can maintain a more stable income as a designer, but for those unavoidable times when you’re just not as busy as you would like, it’s good to have a plan. Just because you don’t have as much client work as you would like doesn’t mean that there is nothing positive you can do for your business. Here are some things to keep you productive."

Things always go much more smoothly when you really enjoy what you do. So many people go to work day in and day out doing jobs that they don’t really like or spending lots of counter-productive time doing thing that don’t really do much to bring them closer to their ultimate goal. You have to set up your workflow to allow you to enjoy whatever you do and learn from it.
