Warren Buffett said “ Never depend on a single income. Make investment to create a second source”. We work all day and night to earn a livelihood for ourselves but never get satisfied with our earnings. The want to earn more is never-ending but we can definitely create multiple sources of earning which require minimum efforts. Now you must be thinking about the passive income sources like investing in equities, mutual funds, etc all these are fine, but here I will talk about those who like photography or like making illustrations. If you have an awesome portfolio or stock of photographs and illustrations, then the Canva contributor accounts can help you in making money by selling them. According to a blog on how to make money from Canva by Canva.com, Diana Mironenko, who contributes travel and fashion photos to Canva and other websites, earns about USD 20 to USD 700 per photo. Becoming a contributor to Canva is quite simple if your application gets accepted. Now, if you are thinking about how to create contributors account on Canva then follow the given steps:

Step 1: Application Form Link

Go to the link https://support.canva.com/apply-to-contribute/ you will find the form for contributors, fill in your name and email address. Remember, here you can fill the email address with which you are using your Canva account. (Learn How to create Canva account). The form looks like this.

Step 2: Upload Your Portfolio

Now you have filled your Name and email address, the next and the most important step is to select what do you want to contribute? As you can see you can contribute photographs and illustrations. Please remember, upload photographs or illustrations of your own, using someone else’s photographs or illustrations without his/her concern is unethical as well as illegal. If you don’t have your own portfolio then you can simply create a google drive link, upload all your collections, and paste the link in the respective box. But I would suggest you make your portfolio as it looks more professional, making a portfolio is not a big deal in today’s world. Some sites like Wix, WordPress, etc have made it easier to create a portfolio on our own.

Canva used to give opportunity to sell your own designed layouts as well but it stopped accepting layouts contribution since they started building inhouse templates.

Step 3: Submit The Application Form

After uploading the portfolio, read all the terms and conditions and submit the form and you are good to go. Remember that, the earning will vary upon the quality of the photographs, different websites, the number of downloads, and several other factors. Now sit back and relax, after the quick review process you will get to know whether your application has been selected and you can start earning money.
