I think it would be great for artists on Subeta to talk with each other about tips for their own personal stores. Ideas, what's working, what isn't, especially in these strange 2020/2021 times we live in.

How are everyone's stores doing? How's your freelance going?

My Fiverr is pretty much dead, but my Etsy is doing OK and somehow my Redbubble is slowly growing. My Etsy - My Redbubble

:o ! If anyone sells digital patterns kinda background style please let me know :3.

Do you mean like digital patterns people can use for websites? Or on physical products?

Digital patterns

My husband's etsy has been doing well but he focuses A LOT on instagram and reddit marketing. This is his shop . My redbubble has been making me ~$26 USD a month for the last 7 months, not sure how.

Tie Dyes! That's a really nice looking shop!

And wow, $26 average is a really good amount for Redbubble. That's awesome! I make like... $5 a month haha

Thank you! And I think it's because I sell pronoun stickers that are cute... but I feel kind of icky profiting off it so I'm thinking of starting to donate that $$.

Always follow your conscience!

Though personally I think if you are providing a service (cute looking stickers) that people want to choose over an alternative (less cute stickers) then you deserve to have a benefit from that.

But if you feel it's like, hijacking LGBTQ+ stuff to profit on it I guess that could feel pretty bad. If it's all done in good spirit though, I don't think you should be too hard on yourself!

I appreciate the feedback! I have been wrestling with it for a while. I hope you're having a good day <3

I have a pin shop on etsy! I used to be able to sell more but because of IG's algorithm changes it's been hard so I don't make much as use to. :C

Hoping I can make more merchandise in the future with less expensive material and branch out a bit.

Your pins are gorgeous! Especially the Pokemon ones! I've never made any pins because the price point and production intimidates me, haha

I use Printful to make products for my Etsy shop. It's a good way to get into making other products for really cheap.

Thank you!! Making pins is expensive but fun imo. They take around 2-3 weeks to make but they look n feel great. Some ppl make really crazy things. If you are one day interested try The Studio, they also make patches, hats, socks, etc.

Wow this site lets you do a different stuff, I might look into it! o:
