Artistic talent can supplement income or be a job all on its own. If you have a skill for something in the arts or crafts area of talent, you may be able to sell your services or items to other people. You may want to start your own home-based business so you can run all aspects of the production and profits of your items or service. Some people may prefer to work for a company where someone else is in control of profits and how much of the item or service is sold. Research how much raw materials and supplies will cost for your artistic endeavor. Also decide if you will make more in profits than you will in buying supplies and materials.

Artist can be defined in many ways, often one thinks of an artist as a painter. Painting is one of the many artistic endeavors one can choose from. Options for artists include writing, drawing, painting, animation, film making, and music making, just to name a few of the many different options available. There are even subsets to the artistic options that were listed. For example, film making could include drama, comedy, horror, or whatever topic is of interest to the artist. Once again research how much material you will need and how much of a need there is for your talent. All of these jobs can be home-based opportunities.

There are artistic endeavors that count as services. These would include decorating a home, painting faces at a party, making balloon animals for an event, or a number of other artistic services. Research what would be a typical fee for these services and decide on a service fee that is reasonable and competitive. There are companies that look for people with these skills. If you want to work for them you can do that knowing that all the fees are set and you may not get as much of a profit as you would if you did the job on your own.

If you decide to start your own home-based business for your artistic talent or service remember to get your name out. Start a website showcasing your work, or meet with other local talent that is doing similar work to what you are doing (you may be able to collaborate or find venues you can sell your work or service through their help), get business cards that you can give to people that like your work as they will help you connect with other people that may like your work. Ask businesses and stores if you can set up a stand outside of their places and let people observe and buy your art. If you sing or make movies see if friends will let you screen your work at their house or if you can do a concert at a local venue. Talk to your friends and family about ideas where you can sell your work as they may have connections that can set you up with a terrific gig or opportunity to sell your work.
