it's super hella old though XD mostly i was bugging galla to put something in the token shop and that is what happened X''D


jeez, i sold a glass like that, i forgot part of the set and had to mail it seperate and ended up making less than a dollar in all x____x and this is not counting the cost of materials to ship either

Etsy seems like a complex venture. I don't know how people pull it off. There's all the time and effort that goes into making stuffs, and buying materials, and shipping costs... @-@ How do you make a living from that? Or, like... any profit at all?

Oh yeah, I've thought about starting a shop on there, but I don't know what I'd do. Everyone pretty much has the sketchy chibis market cornered.

there's a weekly saturday market in portland all year round. If I ever get financially stable I would like to try that! You can buddy up with me if you want <3

I have a friend who sells poster prints on Etsy. For non-custom ones, she has a few of each printed out already and just goes to the post office once a week to ship any orders she got that week. I don't think she makes a TON of money, but it's really more of a hobby for her anyway.

if it pays for the cost and she does not mind working for free it is not so bad

That would probably be a pretty good shop idea if the posters were fanart. As far as I can tell, nobody is really interested in buying original stuff unless it's WAY awesome artwork.

Yeah, she does fanart type stuff. Dr. Who/Tardis designs, Star Wars prints, fandom "house rules" posters, stuff like that. She also started doing personalized prints of peoples' kids and adjectives that describe them after she had her baby. And yeah, she makes a couple bucks per print, not enough to make it a full time job, just a little bit of extra spending money for fun stuff.

Dan/Jacob/ and Matt ((sorry comic artists I know!))

They are all pretty good to fantastic comic artists and they do the print thing. To have Jacob draw you a commission is like wooahhh at least $200, at least, and that may have been the friend discount. So they make something one time and just sell the poop out of the prints. Although Jacob did just do a kickstarter for his batbear original comic he is trying to do . . . but it's still basically winnie the pooh as batman, so still kind of fanart. But yes, even really amazing artists seem to have to do fanart to make any money.

I found some references.

Holy shit! I mean, Jacob's art is definitely worth that much. But still!
I wish I had money so I could donate.
