Web Graphic Designers Attention: It’s Time to Monetize Your Skills « John Raul dot Com

After long and busy months, I’m finally back and I have some good news to share with you!

I want to share to you a very interesting website that I stumbled just a few days ago. Web and graphics designers like me will benefit this most, as they will use their skills to participate.

So what’s the website?

The website I’m talking about is Prova.fm, which calls itself a “crowdsourcing” platform that takes social approach to business. Crowdsourcing is a brand new buzzword (for me!) that implies “the act of businesses outsourcing their talent needs from within a community.” It also connects to social networks like Facebook and Twitter, helps promote the work of graphic designers and improves the publicity of participating businesses.

Why it’s good for web graphic designers like me?

As a web and graphics designer, Prova.fm provides a great way for me to try monetizing my designing skills based on the quality of my work. Prova.fm enables companies that need graphic resources – for instance, a company logo – to run contests that designers can join and participate. These contests are listed in Prova.fm and they are open to all interested designers, regardless of their country of residence or nationality. That is so cool.

Designers who submit entries to Prova are ensured to receive feedback from customers, and fellow participants through its “I like” voting system. In most cases, popularity of the design will decide the winner. Designs submitted to Prova are also allowed to be included in the respective designers’ portfolios.

The best thing with Prova happens when you win. Aside from getting guaranteed prize money (which is usually hefty), your entry also has a good chance to be promoted on Prova’s partner sites. If that happens to you, you’ll get epic exposure of what you do and gain good reputation. That is truly awesome!

Will I be joining the contests?

Yes! I think I make good use of my free times if participate. If you’re a graphic designer, I truly encourage you to visit Prova.fm now and check out what I’m talking about. The opportunity to win is so high, especially when you already feel confident of your graphic designing skills. If you think you’re still an “emerging” professional designer, go ahead and submit your entry for a chance to win. No other contest website provides enormous motivation to hone your design skills as Prova.fm.
