Earning money creatively on the internet.

Hello and welcome to my Lens. I am a musician and photographer that sells items on the internet and ebay to help support my creative projects. I also record audio for an indie film group when I'm not doing any of the above! As the saying goes, there are not enough hours in a day! If you browse through this lens you will see the various ways I use the internet and a little creativity to fund my projects.

My Ebay Stuff

I sell Camera's and other odds and ends that interest me. I use Ebay to help keep up with recording gear that I need for the indie film gig. Anyone who has tried, knows that indie film gigs don't pay much!

Micro-Stock Photography

One of the biggest way to make a few extra bucks is micro-stock photography. I won't waste your time here explaining the finer points, there are a few other lenses out there that do a great job of that. What I will do though is provide you with some links to my work, that should give you an idea of what I'm up to. If you click the image below it will take you to my Dreamstime portfolio.

Business Cards

Another venture I have found is business card template designs. Just like creating T-shirts only smaller! Seriously though, once you get the feel of it you can crank these out in no time. You can view some of my designs here Erik Watts Business Cards

The April Fool

Our group, Brainco, competed in the 48 hour film competition in 2007. The concept is to write, shoot and edit a film that could be no longer than 7 minutes. Oh yeah, you only have 48 hours, from start to finish. We won audience choice, our director won best director and we came in 2nd over all in our region. While we didn't win, we did have fun. Here is our entry.

Think Green Wear

This is my most popular design on Cafe Press. It is clearly very simple with one image and a small bit of text but it seems to strike a chord with many people. I thank everyone who has purchased one of these! It goes a long way to helping me being able to afford to stay active in my creative endeavors.

Stock Sound Effects

I'm really just getting started in the stock sound effects world. I think with a little more time I may even branch into the stock music side of the business too. As always, if you click on the banner link to the right it will take you to my body of work at RevoStock.

Erik's Stuff On CafePress

I have been working on T-shirts on Cafepress for a little while now. If you see something You like I would love it if you would pick one up from me. Thank you for looking!

48 Hour Films

This is another entry into the 48 Hour Film contest. We didn't win. Actually we were disqualified for missing the entry deadline. I enjoyed working with the cast and crew on this one regardless of the contest outcome. I should also note here that the competition really stepped up their game too. All of the entries were great.
