But did you know that it\u2019s possible to actually build an entire business around these humorous images?<\/p>\n<h2>Selling Memes<\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s exactly what @ka5sh does. The meme-maker works with brands to create memes for promotional and viral marketing purposes. And it\u2019s a path that more and more entrepreneurs are discovering as a viable business opportunity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f9PmA5j3EXg?rel=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For those interested in doing something similar, it\u2019s not as easy as creating a couple of funny images and heading straight to the bank. You need to build up a following and then actually market your services. But the good news is you don\u2019t need any expensive equipment or overhead to make it work. @ka5sh says he works almost exclusively on his phone.<\/p>\n<p>As with many other businesses, the best way to <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2015\/05\/create-brand-memes-social-media-marketing.html\"  rel=\"noopener\">get started with meme making<\/a> is just to do it. Make some social media accounts and broadcast your images to followers. Eventually, you can start approaching brands that you think might benefit from some meme-related attention and form working relationships. Eventually, you might even have brands start approaching you for your services, just like @ka5sh has been able to do.<\/p>\n<p><em><small>Image: @ka5sh\/Twitter<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n<p>This article, &#8220;<a href='https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2017\/07\/selling-memes.html'>This Guy Created a Business Selling Memes &#8212; Can You?<\/a>&#8221; was first published on <a href='https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/'>Small Business Trends<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=XmssNPYfxQw:fLJPVxGtTR8:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=XmssNPYfxQw:fLJPVxGtTR8:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=XmssNPYfxQw:fLJPVxGtTR8:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=XmssNPYfxQw:fLJPVxGtTR8:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=XmssNPYfxQw:fLJPVxGtTR8:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=XmssNPYfxQw:fLJPVxGtTR8:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=XmssNPYfxQw:fLJPVxGtTR8:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/SmallBusinessTrends\/~4\/XmssNPYfxQw\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past few years, you&rsquo;ve probably gotten a good laugh from memes.
