Are you a budding musician or photographer? Do you have a knack for handicrafts? Then why not make some money off of your talents? You can, thanks to the Internet.

Selling digital downloads has always been difficult. Complex e-stores are needed to manage sales and deliver the goods. If you sell crafts, eBay and Craigslist seem like your only outlet.

Well, a bevy of Web sites are here to help. You can sell music, photos and crafts online. There’s no messy e-store to manage. And getting started is simple.

Music

More people are buying music digitally. That levels the playing field for small, unsigned musicians.

At Last.fm, sign up to promote your music. There is no signup fee. Last.fm is an Internet radio site. Once you upload music, others can play it.

Unless you’re the next U2, your earnings will be slim. You get a portion of advertising revenue generated when your music is played. Plans are tiered. Expect to earn 10 percent of advertising revenue, or fractions of a penny.

Amie Street also promotes up-and-coming artists. You begin by uploading your music. Songs are initially offered for free. But prices can hit 98 cents. This is based on how often a song is purchased.
