  • When you said we should be proud of even one sale I smiled. I drew some coloring pages and put them on Etsy. Over the course of a few months I think I sold 2. I have been down b/c I put a lot of work into them but it's so saturated with *cough* AI art *cough* and it's hard competition. Anyway just knowing at least 2 people found joy in my art makes me happy and I should be proud of myself. I just tend to get down easily. I enjoy drawing and painting and I just need to keep at it. :)

  • Save yourself the headache and get an eco tank printer. The best investment I’ve ever made. The ink lasts forever and each of the four bottles you need to refill only cost about $18 each and again, last forever. And I also recommend finding a good vinyl sticker paper. I’ve tried so many different kinds of sticker paper, including online labels which are terrible.

  • I'm so glad you made this. I'm gonna be opening my easy shop soon selling stickers and prints. I'm glad you talked about not spreading yourself to thin because I was gonna do that at first. I was gonna sell stickers, Keychain, prints, buttons. But then I was like that's alot of out sourcing. So I'm gonna start with just prints and stickers And with low quantity for all.

  • This is exactly the kind of video Ive been looking for. As an artist, making a sticker business seemed simple on paper, but I assumed there was a lot more to it than just "buy mass quantities of stickers of the art your drew and sell them all off." Im glad not only that this video confirmed my assumptions were correct, but also gave me the clarification and info I needed. Thanks for making this!
