Are you a person who's skilled at creating witty quotes and sayings? If so, you can make money with your talents. The internet has opened up a variety of ways to make money from short quips and quotes that inspire people or cause them to smile. If you want to make money selling sayings, consider these options:

Sell sayings: Sell your quotes on Café Press

Café Press is an online site where you can sell your original sayings or artwork to be placed on t-shirts, bumper stickers, posters, and a variety of other items. You simply upload your saying or artwork to the Café Press site and it will be displayed on their marketplace or you can set up your own Café Press store selling your pithy quotes and sayings. Each time an item sells, you get a percentage of the profits without having to do a thing except make up more clever sayings.

Sell sayings: Publish an online saying of the day

Why not build up an email list of people who want to receive your witty saying of the day? You can profit by including a link to a related affiliate program with each email. A certain percentage of the people who read your daily mail will click on the link and purchase the product. When they do, you'll receive a percentage of the sale. To have the best chance for success, design your quotes for a niche audience such as witty sayings about bulldogs or motivational sayings for sales people. Choose your affiliate products carefully and you can build up a nice business using this method for selling sayings.

Sell sayings: Publish your sayings on greeting cards

One of our fellow AC writers is launching her own line of greeting cards. They are called the Barker's Dozen and include 13 adorable cards with photos of dogs. She's using the proceeds to raise funds for her local ASPCA and will soon be launching them nationally. What better way to use your creative skills than to sell your quotes for money. Hmmmm.... now what can I create???
