RE: “Fish Tank” Illustration [Art/Video]
The stuff you create and the process you share on how it is done is so awesome. I spend my working day working on 1s and 0s and turning people's problems into solutions and can escape to neat art and good conversations any time.
Sadly, though, outside of meager crypto votes, I haven't made much profit from illustration work... I'm going to create an online store and hopefully can start breaking even on my efforts :D
Are you a software guy?
I am a software, service and technology sales guy by specialty.
If an online store is what you are after, I have had projects with Wordpress/Woocommerce or shopify. If you have illustrations ready to be packages and sold, that would be a good.
To me, it sounds like you have a service to be sold and it is marketing/networking/sales you should be focusing upon.
Yep. Up until 2016 I didn't even do networking, didn't really have to... But things are different now. Pretty much all my old clients have stopped working with me... So industry-specific networking and marketing is what I need to do. Taking whatever small steps I can.
Illustration is only a small part of what I do, it's mostly explainer videos and graphic design, etc....
I will keep an eye out for opportunities for what its worth. In a perfect world, I could find clients of mine in need of that service and sell you into it.
for the networking events, the best advice I could give is go to them knowing every minute won't be worth it or comfortable. Just go looking to have 1 good conversation that will lead to something and everything else will be a bonus.
