I was literally just searching for videos on side hustles for artists and then this video pops up in my subscription feed 😂 amazing timing!
glad this video can come at a good time!!
ME TOO
Me three
You can also reach out to your local bars, coffee shops and restaurants. To host painting events. Just talk to the owners to let them use their place, market it online, and just give the owner a commission (percentage). Just make sure you're comfortable being around and teaching people. It works if it's themed related. For fall you paint pumpkins & etc.
Can we do that in France? Cuz yea
@@riskart business practices are universal for the most part. I don't think you should have an issue. The most important thing to understand is what the people want. Research what's trendy & what they're willing to pay for.
@@buzzin6895 omg thank you ure a life saver
These are great and all, but there’s a massive difference between trying to sell this stuff with audience vs without
Bish I loved reading your book and watching your videos they reassure me that my dream as an animator is possible!
ahh thank you so much i am glad that i was able to help you feel reassured and stay persistent!
This is super helpful MewTripled thank you. For now I don’t plan to sell my art. Because I’m in the process of improving my art skills, and look up artworks as source for inspiration. Although, motivation didn’t work for me I’m going to continue doing this for my journey as an artist. Still thank you girl. We appreciate a woman like you with Art wisdom.
Time to hustle bishessss
yeeeeee
I was thinking about this subject quite recently actually! Love the advice, I'll def look into my own merch soon :)
Great info on self publishing bc I have handwritten and illustrated the ABCs of math, as I am a Special Education teacher. I’m going for it. Thank you.
When I was in college I remember I wanted to know how to do halftone dots and my teacher eagerly gave me his raw files using half tones so I understand the want to show raw files to people
Hi Michelle, happy holidays, wish you & your family the best, be safe & thank you for your work & the effort you put in for us in these videos 💓
Thank you so much! :'')
Ooh good idea about making themed sketchbooks, I've never thought about it. Thank you!
Always great to see your videos, Meesh! Your advice is always so helpful but also just hearing you talk seems to cheer me up every time. I hope your family are all well and happy!
I absolutely love these tips and Vograce! I’ve worked with them before and the quality is wonderful (:
Thank you so much!!! This was on my homepage just when I was thinking of trying different ways to make money with my art. It’s been so difficult trying to increase my audience that I’ve been feeling stuck and hopeless. There’s quite a bit that I didn’t know of, and this video helped confirm a couple of my ideas
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos for us. We really do appreciate the effort you put into these, because you really don't have to go out of the way for a bunch of random people. I really appreciate all you've done and are doing to share your experiences and advice. God bless.
Thank you SO much for making this video! I really appreciate you taking your time to make this information available and provide resources too, for something so valuable and helpful. I really appreciate what you do on your channel to help artists. It's so important to help each other rather than treat each other as competition
Thanks always for your advice, Michelle! Love your Christmas decorations btw
i'v been stuck on 100 instagram followers for years, so this video is helpful thanks
That's better than nothing. You're lucky to have that in this over saturated community
@@paulwoodford6229 I swear things used to be so much easier years ago. Now it's hard to build following at all
Ikr 5 years ago the hashtags for insta is supper effective, but now I think only fanart can do some traffic, original art is just hard to keep an audience
Omg me too! ToT it’s so difficult to grow
Everyone I post I just lose followers at this point lmao😭
That page to print products is exactly what I needed
I just lost my job, so I needed this so bad. Thank you. Time to get on that art grind!
I had to quit working a few months back and have spent the time since trying to build up my art and make some sort of income, even if its not a necessity right now. Im so glad i found this.
I hadnt heard of vograce before, i love that you can make so many things!! Keychains, pins, and games?! So cute!! Other print on demand sites ive used havent have those.
Going into the New Year, I've been looking into other ways to sell my art and this was a super nice and straight forward video with helpful explanations. Making prints, merch, and doing short comics is where I'm looking at currently.
I am also going to HOPEFULLY sell some of my art later this year for the first time at a con in July 2022. With that being said, I have my work cut out for me til then, but thank you so much for information and will be looking into your recommendations.
Thanks biiiiisssshhhhhh~
Thank goodness I needed this I've been making a lil bit of money with my art lately and I wanted to know any other side hassles to make more and you have a video just for that your my savour
Wow, a sponsorship I'm actually super interested in. That's definitely a first. I'm going to go bookmark their website rn, thanks!!!
Your such an amazing TH-camr! Thank you so much for being awesome and helpful 😊
This is a blessing, thank youuu
Some really cool ideas, ahhh I need to build the confidence to try them XD

Have a great 2022 !!!
Happy Holidays meesh!

This was so useful! thanks 🥰🥰🥰
You honestly unintentionally gave me a great idea, thanks for that!
So how did that idea work out in the end?
Merry almost Christmas 🎄
I love your videos and your vibe. 😌
These are some good ideas. Nice content, keep it up
Thank you awesome advice!!
This video was really useful, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!! ❤
This came up at such a good time! Thank you! ; O ;
another great idea I've seen is like making emotes and posting them on gumroad,etsy ect and allowing them to use it for twitch or discord
so fucking thankful for u and ur content!!!😌🙏🏽 best bish ❤️🔥
Super helpful, Thank You ☺️
With your hard work, good videos inspire many friends. I wish you great growth in the future..😍👍😍👍
Thank you TH-cam for recommending me this great video c:
love this video thank you for the advice
I'm gonna give these a shot because just doing commissions isn't really cutting it. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video. I've been thinking of ways to make money off my art.
amazing. thank you!!
"It ain't much but it's honest work"
Reindeer Brush = Big Brain Time Saver! 😍😍😍
Thank you !😍
Biiiiiish, hugs from Amazonas- Braziiiil 🇧🇷
Omg thank you 🤣 i need to do something with my design degree okay! Lol
Thank you kind human.
this is such great content! I have been struggling with ways to make income as an artist. as far as the raw files go, what does one search to find said files bc i’ve never seen them before
I was just thinking randomly about this and the first thing YT show me is this. Coincidence? I think not! :D
I’ve been workin on my portfolio for a while, I still haven’t landed a job in the industry of art. It’s like it’s impossible and I haven’t gotten more than one commission. Life as an aspiring artist is tough.
l like the 'hello bishes' .. It's so friendly
Thank you for such helpful advice! As a grad student whose rent is getting raised, I definitely need the money help
i keep meaning to put my digital sketches into PDFs and try to sell them, maybe I will get around to it next year (prob not tho lol)
I haven't quite understood about sketchbook scans. In the form of a coloring book so that the buyers would color illustrations themselves? Completed sketches so that the buyers would print them? An empty sketchbook with your sketch on the cover?
i just sell hand forged bottle openers to pay for the steel I use for blacksmithing. I use blacksmithing to pay for blacksmithing
Hi B Which Camera do you use can u do a video about your gear❤
Thank you 🤤
Always appreciate being called a bish😂
Just as I change my major to art this pops up. What a coincidence 😂
I am very much struggling with picking a niche. I SUCK at "my own style", i can only do realism and it saddens me.
Sell pet portraits, ppl will pay anything for their fur babies
@@pvp6077 lol the fun fact is i did pick a niche
the way i clicked so fast-
Me about to apply for multiple part time jobs
"hello bishes" okay subscribed
@Mewtripled how do you protect your work , online theft ?
snaps neck* lets do this!
Does vograce require a credit cart, or do they also except pay pal?
yes paypal is accepted!
@@mewTripled Thank you^^
You really knew this Bish was poor huh? 😂
Apparently i need to be 18 to make an etsy, are there any alternates?
FActs, the struggle is real
How are you gonna sell your merch without an audience though?
People online aren't just buying stuff of random OCs.
In the video, I mentioned people are taking advantage of communities like facebook groups and reddit forums catered towards their niche. I'm a part of some of these groups and have seen many independent artists with either a small audience or no social media platform share their work to let others know what they are creating and selling. Some are literally just a link to their website, no instagram whatsoever attached. A lot of artists are also raising money for a social cause through these which helps with not just the artist but society as well.
The idea of this goodies company is sooo cool, but everything looks cheap and plasticky! I really think that companies in 2022 should start really thinking about their products and the materials they use, because people like me, who are interested in the environment, just won't support them.
Hello what?
Make Money As an Artist with (No) Followers
So Gumroad is not just for established artist?
nope! anyone can make a gumroad account, and you can share your work in creative facebook groups or reddit forums based on your niche!
@@mewTripled I'm a junior studying 2d animation. I've made small rough animations myself, but haven't met a lot of people in my same interest before I stumbled upon your page about a few months ago. I do appreciate the guidance you give!
These are all good and dandy but to say you don't need a following to be your costumers, it's incredibly misleading.
The amount of artist friend that I have, that have been doing art online and growing their platforms for years, maybe decades, and still struggle with merch and zines that don't sell, it's a lot! It's money and time investiment that ppl don't just buy if they don't know your art! I like your content and the info you provide, and your art is a big inspiration to me but this is heartbreaking, it's misleading.
I genuingely don't think there is anything you could do with "no followers", anyone with less than 1k followers on any given platform struggles a lot to keep a good rythm going bc there is simply not enough ppl to interact with their content or support them financially!
I don't know, I'm just.... really hurt to hear "you don't need followers to make these things work" bc mine, and many other experiences from people I know, say the exact opposite, and it hurts to see someone big like you so casually say it works, when it doesn't work like that.
I'm sorry if the things I mentioned in the video have hurt you in anyway as I it was never my intention to mislead or misinform. Yes, followers definitely HELP with providing an audience and customers; however, I don't think it's that completely black and white where followers always equal customers and no followers always equal no customers. As mentioned in the video, I have seen people gain customers just by simply sharing their products on niche facebook groups and reddit forums -- places where you don't even have a following attached to your username to begin with. I have family members and friends who aren't really even on social media to begin with share their work there (and made sales).
I have made videos in the past about why a following is important for business, and how it does help make sales, but I also wanted to create a video to share the opposite end of the spectrum for those who don't know where to share their art to sell to begin with. Just because I make one video doesn't mean that is my entire belief on the subject, it's only another perspective of it. At the end of the day it may be simply that we have seen different people's experiences, and I am just doing my best to offer one idea for anyone who has no following and doesn't know where to start 🤷🏻♀️
@@mewTripled I see your point of view more clearly now, and I understand it, even if it's still something very far from the experiences I've seen.
I'm thankful for your content and for your efforts to try showing ppl that you don't need a following to do art; I don't mean to discourage you from doing this! So thank you so much!
2 minutes in, already garbage advice. FB groups & Reddit.. Really?
Artists can make tones of money by being good doctors
