Life has been so hard lately, I’m going to school which means I’m working less hours and barely scraping by. I have all these art skills and backgrounds in animation and design, a plethora of computer knowledge and I’m pretty crafty. But I cant for the life of me seem to figure out what I should sell. I’ve tried Etsy, with a few paintings, some 3d prints I’ve designed, even a coloring book I made, but alas, I’ve got a total of 2 views and no sales.
Maybe I just don’t know what people want, what would you guys buy online?
With the current cost of living issues most people are having and cutting back on non-essential spending, you will really need to push the visibility of your work on social media.
Try and find a niche to exploit that’s not over-saturated and be realistic with your pricing. If you identify a niche, maybe reach out to popular/highly visible members of that community and offer to do custom avatar/banner work.
Maybe after you raise the visibility of your work, offer a heavily discounted limited time promotion or something.
