<\/span>7. Make Money Online by Starting a 3D Blog and Website<\/span><\/h3>\nGive back to the community.<\/p>\n
The 3D Industry is quite small and we have to care for one another. Share your knowledge and insight with the world and the favor will be returned sooner or later.<\/p>\n
Start a blog on the side (like this one you're reading now!) and write about what you have learned when working on your 3D Projects, what Problems you have encountered, and how you have overcome them.<\/p>\n
Let us know how passionate you are about your projects and connect with the 3D Industry through social networks and Industry gatherings such as the NAB, FMX or Siggraph.<\/p>\n
Take anything you have created in 3D, Materials, 3D Models, or Plugins and make them available on your site. Give away some for free and make people want to come back for more.<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you run a popular site you will be able to make money through affiliate marketing and ads.<\/p>\n
A nice thing about starting a blog that you contribute to continually, is, that it is low risk, needs almost no funding, and scales progressively<\/strong>. The more time you put in, the more you will get from it.<\/p>\nYou get continuous feedback from a blog, will know what topics work for your readers and which are better avoided.<\/p>\n
Compare this to, say, a mobile game developer, that needs 2 years of development, and only in the end will know if it was the right choice to spend 2 years on.<\/p>\n
