How to draw your own clip art.

- Practice examples in books about how to draw cartoons.

- Redraw clip art you find so that it looks nothing like original.

- If you are not artistically inclined, decide that your first 100 sketches will be "throw aways".

=> Some people can draw with a computer graphics application. Others can be creative only when drawing on paper. Scan drawings on paper with a scanner set for "line image" scanning. After scanning, use a paint program to touch-up line drawing and fill in colors.

How to create a free clip art Web site

- Start promoting your site after you have collected a minimum of 100 images.

=> If you acquire or create only one new image each day, your Web site will have 300 new images at end of each year.

=> When you have several thousand images, it's time to think about adding a search facility to your Web site.

The most popular sites on Web are free clip art sites. But these are becoming scarce because their owners don't understand that most valuable asset on their site is not clip art, but traffic. While they are waiting for someone who is willing to pay for their clip art, you can be raking in commissions from products and services you sell to people who came for free clip art. ----------------------------------------------------------- Resource Box: Copyright(C)2002 Bucaro TecHelp.

I could go on and on, but you get (mental) picture!

Carrying this one step further, I've gathered together some pictures, postcards, and other memorabilia that reflect overall atmosphere of area. These items hang on my wall in my office, right in front of me, so that I can have a constant reminder of exactly what it is that I am working toward.

I'm amazed at effectiveness of these simple techniques!

You can apply these same methods regardless of what your goals are. Even if what you're working for can't be quite so clearly defined in words and pictures, you can still benefit from these exercises.

During those few minutes each day that you set aside to form your mental "picture," imagine feelings that you will have when you have reached your own personal goals. Create an affirmation statement, using your computer and some attractive stationery to print it out. Frame this and place it in your own personal work area so that you will have a constant reminder of what exactly it is that you want to accomplish.

Focus, focus, focus....and your dreams WILL come true!
