2. Make Cool Shit. SO TRUE. I just had an epiphany some year or so ago...and now I'm on track with things that I would not have been creating if I didn't have this hit me like a ton of bricks at 2am. And some of it seems so simple...like greeting cards...and bookmarks! Not everyone wants just a pretty print.

As usual, thank you for being super transparent and honest. A lot of people are very unwilling to talk about money, especially artists, like it’s shameful to want to live off of your art or something as you’re lucky enough to do a “passion job” I’m a tattoo artist and also sell some of my art, and I found all your advice really useful :) (on a side note, I love your waistcoat and I need it in my life 🤣)

Even when I do, I’d still want to keep it open. And you’re so right too about people feeling uncomfortable about putting their information into a random website where a lot of people already have an Etsy account. Also right about the photos too, I really need to get around to updating my older listings and their pictures!! 🤦🏻♀️

Absoloutely amazing video Dustin! I've consumed a lot of vidoes about making money and a lot of them are either completely generalised and lack transparency or are normally aiming to artists who are not within my area of expertise. It is incredibly refreshing to see a artist not only break down all of the complete transparencies of their income but also a artist who doesn't make 'cute' or 'contempory'. It's shocking how difficult it is to find videos like this done by fantasy artists. I was beginning to wonder if the only way to make money as a artist online is either making cute stuff or make videos as some sort of 'art guru'. Thank you so much for making this video its honestly been incredibly helpful, this year has been incredibly tough for artist with all that AI drama flinging around and just sucking up artist's inspiration and motivation but seeing another artist out there suceeding despite this. Is incredibly motivational! Thank you.

Ai art is a killer for sure! But think about the consumers that are left after the "cheapo's" switched to Ai? The premium consumers are who is left! Think about buying value brand jelly vs farm-to-table jelly? All online artists will need to retarget their audience/fans as the more premium consumers of art who remain. Raise the bar for print quality, in-person events, art placement, and similar thought processes for your ideal consumer. It sounds odd if you're still on your art journey, but Ai is actually paving the way for a premium art market where humans will pay a PREMIUM to have art made by a human. Just like your $60 hand-poured candles.
@toothycookie
10 ай бұрын
This is actually the most reasonable/realistic take on the whole 'AI IS KILLING ART' debacle-- mostly because art was already being hugely devalued by mass production in the first place. Not sure why small time artists think AI would be the nail in the coffin given the consumer most likely to buy good art already can see that AI art kind of sucks-- they'd rather have something thoughtfully illustrated or created. AI is mostly a problem in the AAA space, not indie publishing/merchandise. Just ends up feeling like fearmongering after a while; so I think you're on point here haha

Actual step 1: Be popular The major social media algorithms are completely screwed in 2023 and I doubt things will improve next year. It's all in favor of corporate advertising now. How can you even build a customer base if nobody can see your work? The info you've shared is only relevant to people who have a decent following of fans who are willing to spend money. Honestly, that's the easy part. The hard part is getting noticed to begin with. If already established artists are complaining about a huge drop in social media engagement, what hope do beginning artists even have? This isn't 2010 where you all you had to do is "post good work and leave nice comments" to gain followers.
@Inkwell
10 ай бұрын
Your right about it not being 2010 however in regards to everything else I respectfully disagree, these types of platforms benefit from you selling more, it’s not like a traditional social media. The more you sell the more these companies make the majority of there profits don’t come from ads, there is no incentive to gamify it to the same level as like instagram or other social medias. The majority of this video is about how to get seen in the current environment, so I suspect you didn’t watch much of my video. I know quite a few people who are pulling much larger numbers than me on their stores with little to no popularity other places. Either way best of luck to you.

What really turned me off Etsy is inability of customers to leave a review about the quality of their product as soon as it arrives at their doorstep. That was super weird. It might've been because of the shipping time I put down, but man, what the hell? And I make more money selling directly, and my client can spend less money if I sell directly. But I suppose earning under 10k per month makes a difference vs 20$ once in three months. Thank you for the tips, makes me wish I had a dedicated person for marketing!

Hi! How did you first get into the convention scene, given the (already high and) rising costs of vendor spaces, and what are your methods for keeping track of dates for shows? We're an artist duo that has been looking to get into the art convention scene, and we've been doing our best to scope out as many shows as we can, recording dates and looking at costs. While we agree it takes big money to make big money, we're not certain as how we can feasibly afford the costs for all of these shows given they all want their money by months in advance.

It's so refreshing hearing Etsy advice from an actual artist. I want to make tshirts and the VAAAAAST majority of the how-to Etsy or print on demand videos on KZitem are cynical how-to-game-the-system guides aimed at people making low effort Canva/AI graphics to make a quick buck. I respect that business sense is important even for artists, but holy heck did it get depressing when so much of it was aimed at low effort crap and encouraging more of that stuff to flood to market. I think it also makes the shopping experience worse for the customer, just pages and pages of people using the same Canva graphics with the same popular slogans and AI sludge. I don't know if there's any hope to not be drowned out by AI art shirts because it doesn't matter to most customers, but I guess time will tell.

For me I’ve only ever had one false charge back out of thousands of sales so I don’t really worry about it, however if it did become a issue you would have to take it up with your bank or Etsy in my case depending on the platform, some websites cover you in these cases and fight it on your behalf.And as far as returns, I don’t accept returns but I do replace anything broken or damaged no extra cost, maybe that’s just me being very confident in my products but I’ve never had an issue, if you sell a lot of clothing that could be a different story when sizing comes in to play, I would say make sure there is nothing they can point to that wasn’t clear in your listing and if you do what to accept returns I would make them pay the shipping cost, assuming it’s not something you messed up on .

Great video dude, im thinking about opening a print shop. I was confused on one part though...esty converts the painting into a print and ships it for you? Or do you have to print and ship it yourself? I saw you rolling up prints and putting them into a box along with other items but idk if that was for a bundle deal or something.

Etsy is not a drop shipper , you have to get your prints and ship them your self, or integrate with another company that will do that for you.

@@Inkwell thanks for the reply I did a quick search and saw the printful integration, but also saw reddit threads complaining about it and I now understand why you do it yourself lol
