Artistic and Creative Work
Virtually anything you can do to make money can be either
artistic or creative work in some sense. But the pages here cover
the many jobs and businesses that are primarily about creativity.
Thus, writing fiction can be included here, while writing non-fiction
won't be, and painting portraits qualifies, but not painting
houses. If you have ever thought that you can't express your
creativity and get paid for it, the entries here might change
your mind and get you motivated to try something new.
It's not always an easy decision as to which section index
page and entry should be listed on, and so some are included
in several of these sections. But in case I didn't list some
of the pages on ways to make money that are creative or artistic,
you might find them in the sections; Fun
and Interesting Jobs and Outdoor
Work That Pays . Even the index of Odd
Ways to Make Money could have a few creative things to do
that are also profitable.

Creativity at Work
If your job does not require much creativity,
why no find a sideline that does? Make jewelry and try to sell
it on Ebay or Etsy. Write short stories and sell them for 99
cents on Kindle (it's free to set up an account). There are many
things you can do that will take little or no investment and
can be started with a few hours on your days off. Who knows;
one of these creative activities might eventually become profitable.
Quote
The entrepreneur is not really interested in doing the
work; he is interested in creating the way the company operates.
In that regard, the entrepreneur is an inventor. He or she loves
to invent, but does not love to manufacture or sell or distribute
what he or she invents. - Michael Gerber |
