I’m looking for a way to earn money with blender. I already found five ways to do this (all bundled in thisarticle). I wanna have some more ideas for blender jobs. I’ll start of with some other ideas:
Create educational stuff (posters, animations, games) and sell them to local schools.
Create building plans for paper models and sell them at ebay
Offer a blender starter to be his personal teacher and ask for a small refund.
I already got that one (is in the article). Maybe it’s a good idea to sell the rights of the picture too. You can sell the picture only once, but it will make it much more expensive.
You could get a model 3D printed, clean it up (cause 3D printing isn’t perfect), make a mold from it and keep casting copies out. Infact, some people sell 3D printed models as they come out the 3D printer so…
It would be a semi-high start up cost (3D printing isnt cheap) but clones will be inexpensive in comparison and can be casted on a need only basis. You can also buy this stuff which you use as the material to cast a model, plunk it in a bucket of water and in Xhours it expands twice it’s size if you want to scale a model up.
Pretty much any product that can hold an image of sorts can be sold, Tees, so on so forth. I’d avoid cheesy mouse mats and mugs and with a tee you have to design the work for it, plonking a square photo ontop of a shirt look shite and people should be shot for attempting it.
