Work-From-Home Job Spotlight: Product Line Creator

Each Thursday, I’m highlighting a work-from-home job or business.


Position: Product Line Creator

Education: Not applicable.

Skills: The ability to design original ideas and art to submit online.

Job outlook: Could be good, depending on how much self-promotion you do and the variety of your designs.

Possible employers: Websites such as zazzle.com and cafepress.com, among others, offer freelance designers the opportunity to submit artwork for mugs, t-shirts, children’s accessories, posters, stickers and housewares, to name just a few options. Also check with local t-shirt or other printers to see if they offer similar opportunities for freelancers.

Preparation: Refresh the artist inside by taking an art course or workshop to see what new techniques are out there. Ask family and friends for feedback on your designs to see what could be a potential hot seller.

Get your foot in the door: Start with a few designs and see what sells and what doesn’t before expanding to a larger product line.

Until next time,

Sarah
