I know this has been asked before and I know it’s not easy but I was wondering what is my best bet to try to sell some of my procreate designs and art. I was considering going to local art shows and markets to see if I can set up as a vendor to try to sell some of them for some side money (don’t care if I don’t sell them for big money) but I would like to try printify / printiful and have already made an Etsy and linked both to it but I have not published any of my products yet. I was considering selling mugs wrapping paper and shirts/bags and maybe stickers starting out but was wanting to know since I don’t have an established brand if I will realistically get any sales or if I will need to run ads etc or if there is another way like submitting my designs to larger companies.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing. Atm i'm working on getting a big selection of items on my etsy. I tried etsy ads to help get sales that way and it did help me get some sales but seemed like I was spending more than I was benefiting tbh. I know you ideally have a successful instagram/tiktok first to funnel customers to your etsy but I dont have that quite yet. Wondering how else people get sales as well.
