The only way an artist can survive today is to regret monetizing their art, stop selling art online, and start sharing it.
Yeah, it sounds funny, sounds crazy, but somehow it’s the only thing that can save your career, your creativity, and your mental health.
Focus on giving your art away for free instead of trying to sell your art online.
It will bring you new friends, new fans, and - most importantly - the constant need to create new art pieces. That need becomes your real motivation, the reminder that you are an artist. When you feel lost or upset, you can always return to the people who appreciate what you make.
Giving something for free is your main advantage.
It’s your unique thing.
It’s your story - one curators will love later.
Focus on giving art for free, but structure it as “take this piece, but introduce me to your feed.”
At the very least, you increase your chances of being seen by people who might genuinely love what you’re doing. Brands pay money to show ads on people’s pages, but in your case, people want to share your work naturally.
Don’t want to give your art away? I get it. Really.
Fine - then make people pay with something else: their time.
If someone spends energy writing negative or positive comments, congratulations - you’re doing something right. You made them feel something.
Your art isn’t invisible.
And now the big question:
How do you eat and pay bills?
Easy. Go find a full-time job… at least until AI replaces you.
These might be your last chances to earn anything as an office worker.
Don't waste your chance.
lol.
