There used to be a lot of good free clip art onthe Web. Now most clip art sites require you to pay.Free clip art sites have the most valuable asset on theWeb. No - not the clip art itself, but the tremendousamount of traffic these sites attract. Traffic is oftenreferred to as "eyeballs" by Web marketers. First you haveto figure out what kinds of products and services thoseeyeballs might be interested in. Then you have to joinaffiliate programs that will pay you a commission whensomeone purchases from an ad on your Web site.What kinds of products and services are clip art seekersinterested in?Obviously they are seeking clip art to use on their Webpage or print publication, so they are definitelyinterested in graphic design and Web publishing software.Here are some other things they might be interested in:- Image and clip art libraries- Computer and printer products- Web services such as Web hosting- Anything that general audiences are interested in=> You can also sell all the clip art from your own Website on a CD. Owning the CD makes it much faster andeasier for your customer to use the clip art.Where do you get clip art for your free clip art site?You can't sell or give away copyright protected clip art,but you can find millions of public domain clip art imageson the Web.

A good cartoonist can bangout a clip art type drawings in less than one minuteapiece.I recommend that you draw your own clip art. This is notas difficult as you might think, because cute, amateurish,funny-looking clip art is very popular today. The subjectof the clip art is more important than its artisticquality. Business related cartoon clip art is the mostpopular subject, except just before a holiday when holidayclip art becomes more popular.How to draw your own clip art.- Practice the examples in books about how to draw cartoons.- Redraw clip art you find so that it looks nothing likethe original.- If you are not artistically inclined, decide that yourfirst 100 sketches will be "throw aways".=> Some people can draw with a computer graphicsapplication. Others can be creative only when drawing onpaper. Scan drawings on paper with a scanner set for"line image" scanning. After scanning, use a paint programto touch-up the line drawing and fill in the colors.How to create a free clip art Web site- Start promoting your site after you have collected aminimum of 100 images.=> If you acquire or create only one new image each day,your Web site will have 300 new images at the end of eachyear.=> When you have several thousand images, it's time tothink about adding a search facility to your Web site.The most popular sites on the Web are free clip art sites.But these are becoming scarce because their owners don'tunderstand that the most valuable asset on their site isnot the clip art, but the traffic.
