How to make business with Cartoons
In 2016 I started drawing digital art ,without knowing that I can make a business and even have the opportunity to make money with it , but before thinking of making money with your art ( Cartoons ) let's say for e.g you're in the process of getting started ,drawing digital art.
Start small and dream big ,set a goal and go for it ,from my own experience ,I started at the very bottom ,set my goal and improved daily with a lot of practise. Anyone can do it ,you don't even have to have any drawing skills. It took me quite a while to find the right program for me ,I tried using Adobe draw ,Adobe sketch ,Autodesk Sketchbook ,Photoshop and more ,but eventually found a conclusion using two different programs ,now I use Adobe draw for the outline work and Photoshop for the colouring and shading.
Here is my amazing improvement:
If you think you've improved enough ,start reaching out to your first clients ,on my first blog post I wrote 11 great tips on how to grow your IG with your art works
the best people to reach out to are musicians (cover art) ,youtubers (profile picture illustration / intro / outro) ,businesses (logo) or regular IG users (profile picture).DM them or comment under their pictures if they'd be interested to purchase artwork ,a few might be interested and even ready to pay you for your work .Don't spam ,try to be authentic and factual /businesslike.
Make sure you can receive payments ,otherwise you'll miss it BIG TIME ,we have so many opportunities nowadays ,your clients can pay you through CashApp , PayPal ,Credit / Debit card / bank transfer / ...
If you'd like a more professional look on your business ,create a website where your clients can purchase your fixed priced artwork from your store (think of how much you'd like to charge for e.g a Cartoon Head / Half body / Full body etc. ,one great FREE platform to start with is Bigcartel ,it takes only about 30mins of your time to create a shop.
Another opportunity is to get a review page for your new clients to see how you were rated from your past clients : ProvenExpert
There are so many ways to sell your art ,for e.g hard prints ,canvas ,phone cases ,T-shirts ,... and ship it directly to your costumer.
Create Facebook / Instagram / Adwords ads to find clients to purchase art from you ,that would be an alternative, next level to reach out to clients ,where you'd have to invest money to make more money (the more money you invest in ads ,the more people you'll be able to reach at once)
If you don't know exactly how to create an ad ,you can find a lot of YouTube tutorials on how to do that.
