Building Income with Clothing and Fashion

These ideas can help you build income with clothing and fashion! All these extra income building activities require very little or no investment. They earn real income fast with minimum financial risk.

T-Shirt Designer
If you have a creative mind and eye for fashion or catchy sayings (remember Forest Gump's "Sh*%t Happens" t-shirt?), you can make money putting your ideas on T-Shirts with zero cost! All you need is a graphical design software (Corel, Adobe, or the free Gimp program) and your time. How does it work? There are at least three great websites (Cafepress, Zazzle, LABz) that will automatically take your design, print, package, and ship it to customers, then send you a check. Easy breezy and a way to build income with your talents! $150 per design on average, with potential for $thousands.

Tailor/Seamstress
Even in today's off-the-rack clothing culture, there is a big market for customizing and fixing clothes. To build income as a tailor or seamstress, all you need initially is a tape measure, scissors, and sewing machine and a clean place to work where you can see clients. Every time a pair of pants or skirt is sold the length may need adjustment. Every shirt and jacket loses a button. Zippers come apart. Seams rip. Wedding dresses need alteration. This is a repeat business with long term customers willing to pay for a needed service. $25-$100 per hour.

Vintage Clothing Dealer
Vintage and retro clothing is HOT in the fashion world! If you love old designs, are willing to find them online, at garage and tag sales, at estate sales, Goodwill stores, in attics, and your parents home, you could be a highly successful vintage clothing dealer. All you need is a car, a sense of adventure, a camera, and a computer. List your super cheap inventory on the Internet and watch the orders for red '80s big shoulder dresses and '60s fedoras come rolling in!$55,000 to $125,000+ per year.
