Over saturated market and watch Etsy slam you with listing fees. Some of these You Tubers will make more money from their “How to video” than selling on art platforms
I can't advise going though a print on demand for art prints. Something like catprint, each print cost you .70 cents. You can order 100 prints for 70 dollars PLUS shipping and you can do as many designs as you want. Selling your own designs and shipping them again is such a larger profit margin than a print on demand. Having prints in your own inventory, like at your home, means you can go to artist alleys or venues to sell. What is a given in either situation is you will have to gain your own audience. 😅 But yeah, Frick print on demands. Extremely wasteful and expensive.
but what if you're not sure whether people will be interested in a motiv or not? Wouldn't it be better to test the waters with print on demand first if you're a beginner?
@pet.ersarmstrong He buys arts from artists for display at a good price but only if your art is worth it . He is an artist too so he knows when you put in that effort
I mean If you don't got the space or a warehouse for it makes sense to use print on demand and when you find out there is enough demand then transition to a method that is better for you. It's better than having hundreds of prints laying around your house and having to do a weekly or bi weekly trip to the post office just to ship them
Also understanding the market is so essential, and especially keeping in mind how marketing and business savvy is how you’ll make money, the art itself is an extremely small factor. I found this book called Artful Ambitions: Your Guide to a Thriving Art Career by Alexander Abbott I think, and it changed so much for me. It’s a tricky market but definitely hackable once you understand it.
Absolutely! Understanding the market dynamics and having a solid grasp of marketing and business strategies are indeed crucial for success in the art world.
@@brandontimothydo u have a video on how to market this POD thats not paid ads? And can we upload the same art graphics to all POD sites like put the same designs on Printful, Printify, Gelato, Redbubble, etc? Or they require exclusivity?

Unfortunately, you cannot sell something on printful or printify without money on your card for they will charge you for the customer's order first and you will receive the payment later on.
I've been using Printful for years. Orders don't get processed until there's money paid. That's exactly the benefit of print on demand. You are not upfront paying for anything and not holding on to an abundance of product or merchandise that you can't sell. That money comes from the person who purchases your item. If you go to my shop right now and pay for an item that money then is used to process the item. It more so depends on how the payment is made. The only time you would have an issue is if someone weirdly did an electronic check through PayPal or if someone used a credit card through Stripe. Stripe allows you to cash out immediately to your account so that you can cover the charge and process your orders. Just be mindful of bank holidays. It makes sense down the line once you've established your shop to go ahead and put money into your account. That way you don't get caught up with weird charges based around someone maybe paying with an e-check or using their credit card. For the most part you don't really deal with any of that. End of the day it's print on demand so the order is not going to get processed it will be in 'holding' until there's money to cover it. If that's the case then you wait till credit card charge fully goes through and the money is in your account to process the order.
@@CoyoteCrossingSanctuary Why twice? And how is that any worse than the traditional way of buying the prints from your provider, then stocking them at home or at a warehouse, hoping you manage to sell it, and finally getting the selling price from your customer? With PoD you get to buy just the prints you've already sold, waiting for a few days until the money comes your way (and you know it will) can't be that bad.
I'm so tired of seeing videos like this for artists.

Does it go into public domain or do you maintain copyright till 75 years past your death assuming it is copyrighted by you. I don’t fully understand this I’m sorry 😅
Not this easy. And don't bother with ETSY. They will not show new account products and literallly just show what they feel like showing. Also, this isn't 'art.'
You only need to pay $0.20 per listing to get started. It's a minimal fee compared to the potential exposure and sales opportunities you can gain from showcasing your products on the platform. :)
Hi, you can join my free masterclass here: www.brandontimothy.com/join to learn how to sell digital products on Etsy. I have covered all the details to help you navigate this. :)
Definitely! You can totally sell drawings on Etsy. It's a fantastic platform for artists to showcase and sell their artwork, including original drawings. 😊
