Have you ever seen the scene in a movie or a television program where the character sneaks out his window and uses a convenient tree branch to help them get down to ground level? We had one of those trees when I was a young teenybopper.

Our point? Branches can be used for many purposes. Our opening example is a prime for instance. For our discussion though we are not going to be sneaking out of our house. We are going to look at the blog world and another way to cash in.

We have discussed a few other branches of blogging in previous articles. Most of which focused on text driven content. Of course it is wise to add images, audio, or video to a text driven blog to enhance it and to offer additional features for your visitors. What about a video blog, art blog or image/photo blog?

Say you are a photographer or an artist. Why not have a blog that features mainly your work, lots of images, not so much text. Hey a picture is worth a thousand words right?

I have to tell you I have seen many outstanding web sites that were geared toward photographers and their craft. Naturally there is text written information about the photographer and the items he offers. However most of the site is should be a showcase of your work.

Perhaps you use your web page to promote your services. Perhaps you are a freelance photographer or you do weddings, or both. Maybe you do layouts for professional publishing. In addition to still pictures you may offer professional video services. There is a higher demand for this more than ever. You have weddings, proms, special events, video for high school and college athletes to showcase their skills, and so on.

Maybe you offer additional services like making albums for customers. Nowadays the “photo album” has taken on many new faces. With the digital invasion you have people putting their photo collection on a DVD to be viewed on you TV or computer. There are even digital frames that can show a slide show. Yes instead of putting a solo pic into a standard frame on your shelf or wall, you can have a digital picture viewed in a frame made to feature digital pics and can be arranged to show multiple pics in rotation in a slide show style. Just imagine a mini computer style screen inside a frame. Sweet! The beauty of all of this is many of these services can be arranged and provided via the Internet.

In addition to the photo blogs you have art work on display. Ideally many artists like to display their art in a local gallery or suitable venue to offer their masterpieces for sale. The Internet provides an nice extension of that concept and makes your art available worldwide. And when we say art we are including paintings, hand drawn, sculptures, and so on.

When it comes to drawings there is the potential for illustrators to cash in on line. When it comes to web design, logo creations, book illustrations, and the like, you have a broad market to offer your talents and skills to. Think about it there is a whole world of publishers on and off line as well as companies with illustrative needs who can see your web page and take advantage of the services you provide.

Aside from the promotion of your work and services there are other potential ways to earn an income. With the use of your web site you should have some advertising on your site that can generate some supplemental income. This is also a way to build a network and affiliates.

Attention all artists and creative people! Photographers and designers are you listening? The blog world is for waiting for you!
