How to Make Money With Vector Art

Making money by selling your vector art is a process you can manage completely online. Numerous microstock sites--online agencies that sell artwork at very low rates--allow amateur artists to upload their original work for display and sale. Each site is slightly different. However, most offer commissions and/or royalties to the artist for work that sells. By using a photo sharing you give your vector art exposure and increase the chances you will make money selling your work.
