Funkybunker, I hate to hijack this thread, but perhaps you could elaborate on this? It seems every time I make a viral image it gets stolen and ends up being shared by everyone and their uncle, but no one makes it to a page of mine with ads. Thanks
To give you a true answer, no it is not easy to beat the online competition. It is better to get into a good offline company in the field and climb the success ladder there. Later, you can form an association with similar-minded very skilled people and open an online company, and achive success there too. Every other job you can do at your present skills-level, will and can be done by people who are already working as established freelancers. And in the online marketplaces like elance, guru, etc., those top freelancers have so many positive feedbacks that almost nobody will be interested in employing a novice who doesn't even have an impressive portfolio of mock projects. That's the reality... even if you find a job here and there, usually earning only a few dollars, it will be difficult to find consistent workload.
But may be you're luckier and different, so who knows?
Mr. srb888 Do you think even with this existing Competition, is it possible to make 1k dollars a month?
Of course it is possible, and of course you can have limitless abundance! But for that (the latter) you'll need to be an exceptionally good and very lucky IM'er/Photoshopper! My other observation holds true for the general PS'er, but to one who's determined to win, and who will work to make it possible, for him nothing's impossible, btw!
P.S.: Btw, how good a PS'er do you know you are?
unfornately not exceptional So 1k a month is not possible?
Im just good at it
But I think it's better than older photoshops
