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?

    I keep seeing this advice but nobody tells me where to find these furries hahaha. Where do they gather? is there like… a specific platform?

            I wouldn’t have imagined. Never used it and thought it wasn’t really popular anymore. I thought Tumblr would be an option instead…

            This is so odd to me cause when I was young (2005-2010), I’d use DA all the time and never ran into any kinky/furry/porn stuff. I just enjoyed cool art mostly. I guess maybe some fanfic, but nothing hardcore.

            I’m not shaming anyone at all for it, it’s just weird to me that I somehow managed to avoid it all.

      Reddit, deviant art, Twitter. They’re also on mastadon bluesky and lemmy but those platforms aren’t as large so the number of potential customers is smaller

      My advice, pick a fetish and focus on it. Put a few pieces out so people watching those fetish tags get familiar with you then start dropping the “comssions open” in the description.
