The first thing to decide is if you want to be an interior designer or just do interior decorating. It may not seem like a big difference, but it actually is. An Interior Designer has to graduate from an accredited Interior Design program, and in many States, person must take an exam and are licensed. However, if you don’t want to attend school right now or ever, you can opt to be an interior decorator instead.

Before selling your interior decorating services, you must practice. Learn some of tricks to decorating on a budget, and get ideas about what services you want to provide to your customers. Try these services out in your own home, and offer them for free in homes of your family and friends. It is great practice and can help to build your portfolio.

To build your portfolio take before and after pictures of each project you do, whether it is large or small. You should have fifteen to twenty pictures in your portfolio and letters of recommendation from happy clients. It is also a good practice to create design boards for each project, and keep them with your portfolio.

Once you have decided on opening an interior decorating business, you should call around to different competitors to get an idea of services they provide and fees they charge for their services. This is a great way to decide on how to charge your clients.

There are several ways to price your interior decorating services. They include using a flat fee, hourly fee, percentage fee, cost plus, retail cost or per square foot fee. Most interior decorating businesses use cost plus method for their fees.

What do you think of when someone says "easy money"? I get this image I call my "easy money picture" of a man sitting on a porch, chair tilted back, feet up on rail, tie loosened, tall glass of something cool within reach, enjoying afternoon sun. This man has made his easy money for day and has afternoon to himself. Want to know his secret, so you can earn easy money and take afternoons off? It's no big secret actually: best way to earn easy money is by working on Internet.

Would you like to be in that easy money picture? It certainly appeals to me so I'll turn it into a woman relaxing in sunshine after earning her easy money for day, maybe she'll be holding a baby or reading a magazine. There's no reason why a woman can't earn easy money online; Internet is an equal opportunity environment and most women would be able to earn easy money online successfully because they have a natural eye for detail (ok, I admit this is personal bias).

Although few people would turn down a chance to earn easy money honestly, most are suspicious of idea of earning easy money. Quite rightly, anytime we hear "earn easy money" we start to look for catch. Take my man on porch, maybe his way to earn easy money is illegal: perhaps his easy money comes from being a conman who tricks people out of their hard earned money. That sort of scam artist is as common on Internet as offline so you need to be careful of offers to earn easy money which leap out of so many online advertisements.
