If you want to make sales, it’s about understanding the market, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be creative! I try to keep my eyes on platforms like Etsy and Gumroad to see what’s trending. Then I’ll think about how to bring my own voice into that space.

It’s all about finding that sweet spot where your unique style meets buyer demand. That way, you’re not just creating for yourself but also for the people who are likely to purchase.

If you’re just starting out, I highly recommend the Procreate Beginner Series by Procreate’s official YouTube channel. They cover everything from the basic interface to using layers, brushes, and different tools. It’s perfect for understanding the essentials before diving into more complex stuff.

It’s a great way to learn directly from the creators of the app, and the videos are short and easy to follow. I’d say try following along with a couple of their tutorials and see how you feel!

While Etsy is great, there’s value in exploring smaller, growing platforms where you can reach a specific audience more easily. I also suggest looking into digital products, especially if your craft translates well into that space, as it’s a great way to scale without worrying about shipping or production costs.

Also, make sure to price your work fairly. Underpricing might bring in quick sales but won’t sustain a full-time income.
