COMMISSION WORK
What is commission work?
In my opinion, Commission work means doing a job at the request of a customer in exchange for money.
You can charge based on your art skill and your social media popularity. If you can build an audience on social media, you can find commission work easily.
If you don’t have an audience, you can find clients on many online websites or apps like Linkedin, Artworkarchive, Artistsnclients, Artplease, Artcorg, etc. Using these websites, you can find clients easily. After that, you can charge a fair price for your work.
MAKING YOUR OWN PRODUCT AND SELLING ONLINE
The popularity of art-designed products has increased rapidly. There is a large industry for art products. You can sell your products on your own website, as well as on Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Shopify, etc.
Before selling your products, you have to create them. There are many products where you can add your art and make the product special. You can also make the product more beautiful so customers will like it more.
In my opinion, by using your artwork, you can create products like:
– Printed t-shirts
– Washi tapes
– Stickers
– Printed diary covers
– Art keychains
– Greeting cards
– Coloring books
– Enamel pins
– Etc.
You can use your own creativity to build new products. After that, you can sell them online.
MAKING COMICS OR MANGA AND PUBLISHING ONLINE
Currently, there is a large industry for children’s books, comics, and manga. You can make your own place in this industry. If you can create stories, you can select your stories and make your own children’s book, comic, or manga. After that, you can publish them online on Webtoon, Tapas, Globalcomix, or offline, etc. By publishing children’s books, comics and manga on these websites or offline, you can earn money.
If you can’t create stories, you can find stories online. After finding stories, you can make children’s books and comics based on them. You can also find a writer for your stories and make an agreement with them. Then you can create your own children’s book, comic, or manga and publish it online.
[Note]: You can also create your own website and publish children’s books, comics or manga there.
MAKING CONTENT AND PUBLISHING IT ONLINE

You can also create artwork and post it online on Instagram, Facebook, etc. By publishing it online, you can make money and build an audience.
After that, you can use that audience to sell your products and courses. You can also get sponsors by building an audience and earn money from them.
MAKING YOUR OWN ART COURSE AND SELLING IT ONLINE
Nowadays, almost the whole world has an internet connection. If anyone wants to learn something, they can use online resources. If they find the resource helpful, they may spend money on it. You can provide a course as a resource.
Before creating your own course, you must have good art skills. You also need an audience.
If you don’t have an audience, you can build one on social media or advertise your course there. After that, you can sell your course. You have to build trust with your customers and provide valuable information for their money.
