How To Earn Money From Photoshop Online (Top 12 Ways)

Photoshop comes in handy for plenty of things. Those things include editing photos, making graphics, creating website designs, and even crafting digital art. Many people don’t know that you can make money with Photoshop online.

In this blog post, we will go over the many ways you can make money with photoshop online.

Create a YouTube Channel With Photoshop Tutorials

If you’re good at Photoshop, why not show others how it’s done? You can create a YouTube channel and post tutorial videos on anything Photoshop-related. From teaching beginners the basics to helping intermediate users with specific tasks, there’s always someone out there who could benefit from your knowledge.

It may take some time to get the channel off the ground, but once you do, you can make money through YouTube’s Partner Program. You’ll earn a portion of the revenue from ads that run on your videos. You can even earn affiliate revenue if you have any additional tools you talk about and recommend in your tutorials.

How can you have a successful youtube channel around photoshop?

You really don’t have to reinvent the wheel. All you have to do is to be better than most of the current content out there. Be more entertaining, be more engaging, and teach more in less time.

Many people get caught up with the competition, but you don’t need to be better than everyone. You just have to be better than the videos that exist out there. So really take your time and hone your skills. The better you get, the more people will watch your videos, and the more money you can make.

What equipment do you need?

In terms of equipment, you don’t need anything too fancy. If you’re doing photoshop, chances are you already have a computer. So all you need is a screen recording software and a microphone. The one I use is a screen recorder by Omi.

Start a Blog About Photoshop

If you’re not interested in making videos, another option is to start a blog about Photoshop. You can write tutorials about photoshop so readers can learn how to do specific tasks. You can also write articles offering advice on which tools are the best to use for certain projects.

Not only is starting a blog a great way to share your knowledge, but it can also be a great way to make money. You can sign up for Google Adsense and other ad networks to run ads on your blog. You can also sell ad space directly to businesses that want to reach your audience.

And finally, you can also sign up for affiliate programs and recommend products that you use and love. When people click on your affiliate links and make a purchase, you’ll earn a commission.

You don’t necessarily have to limit yourself to photoshop either. You can go over different video editors, photo editors, and other design software.

Put Both YouTube and a Blog Together

If you want to maximize your earnings potential, you can always put both a YouTube channel and a blog together. All you have to do is refurbish old blog posts into video format or vice versa.

Once you have a blog post done, it’s easy to change it into a video script for your YouTube channel. By doing this you could double the income potential because you’re reaching people who prefer to watch videos as well as those who prefer to read blog posts.

Design Logos For Businesses

If you’re good at Photoshop, you can start offering your services as a logo designer. Many businesses are always in need of a new logo, and they’re often willing to pay top dollar for a high-quality design.

To land clients, you can start by reaching out to local businesses. Once you have a few clients, you can create a portfolio to showcase your work and help you land even more clients.

You can also use sites like 99designs to find logo design gigs. These platforms allow businesses to post their design needs and then have designers compete for the job.

You can also use Fiverr and Upwork to find logo design work. There are always businesses in need of a logo, and you can use these platforms to find steady work. That brings us to the next one.

Become a Photoshop Freelancer

Upwork

As you could see below, we did a search on Upwork for the term “photoshop”. There are many jobs with different descriptions posted by businesses from all over the world.

You can sign up to Upwork and start applying to these jobs to make extra money. You could even land a full-time client.

Fiverr

On Fiverr, it’s the other way around. You could create a gig offering your photoshop services. You have to be creative in your gig description to make it stand out.

Some things you could offer are photo manipulation, logos, color correction, and many more. As you get more advanced on Fiverr you could start offering more and more gigs. take a look at this blog post that goes over how many gigs you could post on Fiverr.

Create Fonts And Sell Them On Different Marketplaces

If you’re good at Photoshop, you can also create fonts and sell them on different marketplaces. This is a great way to make passive income because you only have to create the font once and then people can buy it over and over again.

You can use sites like Creative Market, MyFonts, and FontBundles to sell your fonts. You can also use Fiverr if you want to offer custom font creation services.

To get started, you’ll need to create a few fonts and then upload them to the marketplace of your choice. Make sure to create a good variety of fonts so you have something for everyone.

Create an Icon Pack For Phones and Sell Them

If you’re good at design, you can also create an icon pack for phones and sell them. This is a great way to make money because just like fonts, you can create the icon pack once and then sell it over and over again.

To get started, you’ll need to create a set of icons that people can use on their phones. Once you have a set of icons, you can list them for sale on sites like Creative Market. When someone buys your icon pack, they’ll be able to download it and use the icons on their phone.

Check out how the popular Youtuber Oliur, made money with his icon packs.

Join the Adobe Affiliate Program And Earn Money Off of Promoting Photoshop

If you have a blog or YouTube channel about Photoshop, then you can make money by joining the Adobe affiliate program.

They will give you a special link that you can use to promote Photoshop products on your site. When someone clicks on your link and buys something from Adobe, you’ll earn a commission.

Sell Stock Images

Photoshop can help enhance images and make them look more professional. If you have a knack for taking good photos, then you can make money by selling stock images.

Many sites allow you to upload and sell your photos. Some of the most popular ones are Shutterstock, iStock, and Getty Images.

To get started, you’ll need to sign up for an account and then upload your photos. Once your photos are approved, you can start selling them and making money.

Create a Course Around Photoshop

If you’re good at Photoshop and you want to share your knowledge, then you can create a course around it. You can use sites like Udemy or Skillshare to create and sell your course.

To get started, you’ll need to come up with a course outline and then record your videos. Once your course is complete, you can list it for sale on the platform of your choice.

Sell Website Themes

Selling website themes is a great way to make money if you’re good at Photoshop. You can create beautiful website themes and then sell them on sites like ThemeForest.

This is a simple way to eventually make pretty decent passive income because you only have to create the theme once and then people can buy it over and over again.

Print On Demand

(POD) is a great way to make money from your Photoshop skills. POD basically means that you can design anything you want on a product, and someone else will handle the printing and shipping for you. There are several different POD sites out there, but the two most popular ones are Zazzle and Redbubble.

To get started with POD, all you need to do is create an account with one of the sites and start designing! You can design anything you want, from t-shirts and mugs to phone cases and notebooks. Once you’ve designed your product, you just need to set a price and wait for someone to buy it. When someone does buy your product, the POD site will print and ship it for you, and then send you the profits.

Create Your Own Clothing Brand

Creating your own clothing brand is a great way to make money if you have good Photoshop skills. You can design your clothes and then sell them on sites like Shopify or Etsy.

This is different from print on demand because you’ll be selling your own branded clothes instead of just designs on products.

How can this be better than print on demand?

It can be a bit more work, but having your brand gives you more control over the quality of your products and the prices you charge. You also have more control over shipping times and customer service.

Conclusion

There are many ways that you can make money with Photoshop. You can start a blog and write tutorials, become an affiliate, or even start offering your services as a freelancer.

The sky is the limit when it comes to making money with Photoshop. So if you’re good at the software, don’t be afraid to put your skills to good use and start making some extra cash.
