The demand of website designing is on an increase. This does not mean that all the website designers have work. There are some designers that have a lot of work while there are some others who do not have any work. If the designers who do not have any work are just ignored, they will have no other option but to initially live on the savings and later look for other work. There are different ways through which these sorts of designers can generate some income for themselves.
The designers need to have reliable information and the right tools to generate income. If information is faulty then it is possible that the designer may lose money. If the designer is not equipped with the right tools, he/she may not be able to produce the desired results.

Some of the websites that can help the designers to generate income are as follows
Envato
This is a large website network. This churns out quality web development content as well as web design. Theme Forest is one of the leading sections of Enveto, where the designer can sell his/her work. If you have already developed any themes/template for content management systems like Joomla, WrodPress and Drupal you can put that theme/template directly for sale. The price of the template can vary from $5 to $40. The designer being the creator of the theme/template gets some percentage from the proceeds of the sale.
VectorStock
For those who want to buy and sell vector art, a marketplace is provided by the VectorStock. This facility was launched in 2007. VectorStock facilitates the designers with thousands of stock vector design elements, icons, and illustrations. Before putting up your work for sale on the VectorStock the designer needs to first apply and get approved. The designer can get 25-30% of the proceeds of the sale.
MyFonts
MyFonts offers the designers a platform to approach large number of people and sell the fonts developed by the designer. The MyFonts charges a small amount to the designer for the service it provides. Submitting your work and getting it sold through MyFonts can bring to you the long awaited recognitions as well as some income.
Graphic Leftovers
This is one of the latest marketplaces for the designers. You can quote your images and other work from $1 to $20. The designer can quickly upload many files. The images submitted for selling on Graphic Leftovers can also be submitted to other websites for sale. The designer gets 52% of the proceeds on sales.
