Since I spend about 90% of my time online most of the time, I have discovered other ways to make money and even get involved deeply into a hobby. That hobby my friends is digital scrapbooking, which can actually be mistaken for graphic design, sometimes. So as long as you got nice and decent design principles, know color palettes and have a good knowledge on Photoshop and Illustrator, you can be one. Of course, typography know how is also a must.

So a buddy saw my potential and has invited me to become a business partner. She is willing to invest and buy card printers from RACO Card Solutions and be a marketing associate as long as I take care of the design and production aspect. This is not your average card-making business. Card printers these days like Zebra, Fargo and Datacard have dual-side printing, monochrome and color card printers.

When you have it, the possibilities are endless. You can scope the market for offices and organizations who need new ID cards. Even libraries and schools (day care centers) need one. You can offer design work for brochures, calling cards, marketing materials and print them yourselves.

The more I think about it, the more I am comfortable with the idea!
