Hi,

how to use creativity to make more money?

No body saw this post?

I did see it, but I was interested in seeing what others come up with before I "took over" yet again

There are a number of ways you can use creativity to make money. The most obvious way is to use your creative skills to make something, like a piece of pottery or a painting, and sell it.

Then you can also use creative thinking to brainstorm new and unusual ideas for increasing the sales, money, and customers on one hand, and the ideas and innovations you are creating on the other hand. This became a big element in business a few decades ago, and the term "lateral thinking" was coined (most sources attribute it to Edward De Bono). Lateral thinking is using creative, right-brained thought to come up with different solutions and ideas to the usual "vertical", logical, analytical thought processes.

So, just for example - you could use your creative talents to create a painting, and then you could use creative thinking to display images of that painting on the Internet, offering prints for sale, and even selling the image on t-shirts, mugs, etc. You could also use your images to seek commissions from customers. So one idea can expand into several outlets using creative thought to leverage it to greater potential.

Very good ideas Elle.
Elle, suppose I have a collection of some great articles.
How do i make money on the net with them?

Turn them into Squidoo lenses. Squidoo pay a small royalty for content you publish as lenses (single-page websites), and you can also earn commissions on related affiliate products. It's simple and free to do.

PM me if you need more info.

Let me have a look at it.

I'd have to agree with Elle.

There are many ways to use your creativity to make money.

The key is

(1) To package your special brand of magic into a product or service that

(2) Makes a targeted clustered niche of people go absolutely crazy because you found a way to use your passion, knowledge and skill-set to make their lives a lot easier and less frustrated by

(3) Creating something that solved a problem, made them feel better...or both.

Many successful businesses are started because someone took a very creative approach to create a business that was poised to make a magical difference in the lives of their customer base.


In fact two of my favorite sites to search for creative and innovative business ideas are:
