Being my own boss does not feel like it is enough

Hi all. I have no experience with monetizing sites or earning money through ads or anything like that. I am a graphic designer with informal education in computers, tech, programming, web, etc. But for some reason I can't work in an office. It might even be the case that I can't work with clients.

So I'm looking to see what is possible for me in this sphere of the internet. My skills should prove to be very useful, but I hope to learn the actual money making part from this site.

Best of luck - some people just cant work with other people. Though could you still not offer your graphic design services offline, and work for yourself?

Online - you might like to offer your services on something like Elance, no shortage of jobs to bid on, (though no shortage of people bidding either) but at least its an active marketplace - just a thought anyways !

Sure, I still have some clients offline that I work with, but the amount of work is not much and not steady. Online marketplaces are terrible for Graphic Designers. I was reading a thread on average web design prices going "as high as" $300. No professional Graphic Designer in the US can afford to work at those prices.

Even if I get fulltime work at my professional rate, I am still bound to the number of hours I put in a day, and deal with bad clients once in a while. So...
