Since I began the digital painting journey back in the day of May of 2019-I have been simply drawing and painting and posting and hoping for the best with my art. Ok. Some people may find that satisfying but this July of 2022 it occurred to me that that was not enough. 3 months later I have completely re learned everything there is to be known about selling digital art online. Passive income is simply this:
Make a bunch of art
Open a shop on Etsy
Let the money roll in.
It’s so easy!
Stand by we will return after these messages!
22 easy steps for selling digital art (for passive income)
Idea (to create the item)
Creating (the art piece)
Uploading (the artwork)
Editing (the artwork)
Saving (the artwork)
Relearning (photoshop size ratios)
Saving (ratio templates)
Test printing (the samples)
Purchasing (the licensed mock-ups)
Creating (the mock-ups)
Saving (the mock-ups)
Designing (the shop)
Researching (the competition)
Searching (the proper keywords)
Memorizing (the proper meta words and descriptions)
Shooting (the videos)
Saving (the videos)
Pricing (the the items properly)
Listing (the products)
Uploading (the files)
Describing (the products)
Revising (the listings)
Sharing (the listed products on Pinterest and Instagram)
Repeat and start the process over again to list 100 different products as a goal to actually make sales because Etsy needs to trust in your product. (Yes you ONLY need to create each art piece listing once. Then your stock of 999 products of ONE design are set to auto pilot. THAT is ultimately passive income.) I haven’t even mentioned updating the listings and my website to stay new and fresh for the algorithm to rank me somewhere high up there for my target audience peeps to even consider buying my art. 3 months of some serious intense prep work. And I’m just getting started. Like I said it’s so easy. Only sell what you love. And they will stop by to buy your art!
