Passive Vector Stock Income for Designers & non Designers
I think I don’t need to tell you what passive income is.
Passive income is the dream of every person.
Sometime it looks too easy to execute your plan but something stops you from doing so.
I want to share with you how you can achieve it.
What are vectors graphics?
Vectors are scalable graphics. They are not composed of pixels.
They are mathematically drawn. And you can zoom in to 64000%.
In simple words, you can use it on billboards very easily.
Why billboards example? Can you imagine size of a billboard? Even using on billboard can’t effect tis quality. That is the main reason why vector artwork is in demand.
Software used for vector graphics?
In this area, I am going to tell you, how you can create vectors yourself if you have time. Otherwise hire some for designing and don’t waste your time on learning it.
Though there are tons of software’s available which can create vector graphics. But Photoshop is not one of them. Photoshop is pixel based software.
You can use most popular software like CorelDraw, Sketch, Affinity Designer, Inkscape, and Adobe Illustrator.
If you are starting out you use sketch for free. You can use old version of software also if it is available for free.
Ideas for vector graphics
This is the main part of your business. Remember one thing, design and coming up with ideas are two different thing. Find some spare time for brainstorming and idea generation.
You can’t do both at the same time. Sometime might be able to do it. But most of the people are not able to do it. Idea creation needs your left brain and working on it uses your right brain.
If your ideas are not good, you can’t survive longer.
You can start with mediocre ideas to start your journey. Here are some of the ways you can find vector ideas.
What you need to sell?
Here are some categories , where you can easily work and produce good content.
Modify existing ideas/elements
You can check the already created designs on stock sites and make improvement in it. You can change it little bit. Change fonts, colors, style and other thing to give it new look.
Non-English languages elements
If you know second language other than English, this market is for you. Let suppose you know Arabic, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Persian, Chinese, Russian, Tamil etc.
There is no or very little local graphics available for local languages. Everyone focus is to create graphics in English only and local languages are highly neglected which is good for us.
Design quotes
You can start with designing inspirational quotes.
Design vector of new car models
If you are interested in cars, you can illustrate new car models.
Design vectors of nature like sparrow, parrot, famous buildings, and humans
Getting idea from nature is one of my favorite ways to design vector elements. You can create illustration of famous celebrities, politicians, armed forces, tiktok celebrities, historical buildings, animal, birds etc.
Design vectors of your fantasy
We are fantasizing from childhood. You can create drawing of it, only rough drawings will work. It is one of the magical formulas to come up with amazing design. No one can peek into your mind. Your designs will be 100% original.
Design vectors of tattoos
If you like tattoos and know about tattoos. You can make use of it.
Design vector UI elements
Mobile screens, websites, tablets and other display devices use vector graphics. You can modify the existing element or make new one with amazing style.
Design vector of famous icons Facebook, twitter, YouTube etc. in new shape, form, like heart shape
Facebook, twitter, YouTube & instagram icons are often used in videos and brochures. You can design it with new concept. You can convert the normal boring circular shape to heart shape or any other interesting shape and color.
Get inspiration from pinterest
Pinterest, famous social media site, is your best friend. You can spend some-time daily to get ideas from Pinterest and save it somewhere for inspiration.
Design famous lines from movies, sculptures, books etc.
It is one of the easiest ways to find ideas which inspire you and the world. If you are interested in movies, religions, books, it is good for you. You can copy good lines and use it for creation of vector art work.
Where to find vector stock websites
There is no shortage of stock websites. You can create your own stock website. But I will not suggest you if you are a beginner.
Running a big downloading website might need some skill set which a novice can’t handle.
You need to be comfortable with programming, security, UI/UX, front end technologies and backend technologies.
You can hire someone to do all of this for you. But when there are tons of sites available , why you need to create a new stock website?
If you have some solid reason, you can go for it.

Scale Up: Hire a designer
You can hire a designer. Hiring a designer is the best option for those who don’t know design process. You work with a designer and provide him ideas.
It is not easy to generate ideas and work on it at the same time. You can find some good designers who can do both for you. Your job will be to upload on different sites which anyone can do it.
Conclusion
Vectors are very demanding graphics in industry. You can create yourself or hire someone. But atleast, you need to give it a try.
Finding ideas could take time and one good viral idea can makeup all expenses.
