I am often asked....

It’s the same in my World of custom Photoshop images. Of the dozens of people I have done custom images for here, only one has ever paid me for the work...and it was by their own choice.

The people I have provided t-shirts and calendars for have paid me for the item they get, but nearly no one has paid me anything for the work of creating just an image despite it taking me multiple hours to do and even though they have my info to make even a token payment in appreciation.

What I have learned is that the only way to get paid to to give people a tangible product that they have to buy to get. People just don’t, and won’t, pay for the image by itself.

Sell them a print, shirt, canvas, banner, calendar etc. and they will pay to get it. Just the image?

No.
