There used to be a time when success meant making money. For many people these days, success has to include other factors such as the freedom to be your own boss or the freedom to be creative in your work. However, you still need to be able to earn a living while meeting these other needs.

Here are some creative career ideas that you can do while working for yourself and still earning a decent income:

• Designer of Wedding Announcements. If you have the perfect eye to make standard beach wedding invitations or frangipani wedding invitations stand out then you have a skill that people are always going to need.
• Writer Extraordinaire. There are many different ways that writing can be used to earn an income. Whether you do book reviews for a leading blog site or you write travel books from personal experience, you can be creative with your work and still earn a living.
• Dog Walker or Pet Sitter. Creative people are often people who like to be around animals. Put this to good use by earning an income at it. This also leaves you time to do other creative things.

The myth of the starving artist is really just a myth these days. If you are self-motivated and willing to work hard then you can have a creative career that pays the bills.
