As a contributor, you’ll be paid based on the number of times your resources are downloaded. By building up a contributor profile with a number of quality resources, you’ll be in a position to earn money each month as your vectors continue to be seen and downloaded by our visitors.
With millions of visitors turning to Vecteezy each month, there are countless possibilities for creative designers who want to make some extra money. If you’re looking for inspiration or direction that will help you to know what types of resources to create, you’ll find plenty of ideas and examples on this page.

Regardless of whether you’re already a Vecteezy contributor or if you’re considering becoming a contributor, this list should help you to find several ideas for the types of resources that you can create.
