Yes, what you read in the title is absolutely correct. You can make money using graphic design skills. Just remember that it is not so easy, you have to show your great talent. The current market is so competitive that you have to build yourself as a professional. Anyways… if you are a beginner, you can also practice yourself by doing projects. Client feedback is always helpful as it gives you the standard of your work. So let's start.
There are many websites available in the internet which can give you money according to the quality of your works. Some of them are competition base and some of them are bid base. I am going to explain the best five websites, which topped the list.
1. Freelancer
Freelancer is the most projects and contests consuming website. It is the largest crowd-sourcing market in the world. It will take a commission of 10% of the completed projects and give the rest to you. You won't believe that the Freelancer.com adds thousands of new contests and projects per day. If you are going to give 5-6 hours per day then you can get a lot of work and money from this site. The only possibility to get more projects in Freelancer is that you will have to work at a lower price due to the competition from other freelancers.
