help?

Postby grassman. » Fri Apr 22, 2022 2:01 pm

um, i was thinking maybe i could make stickers, and sell them, but im not sure what the best platform for that is,, any help? mods lmk if that’s not fine to ask,, I’ll remove it

also, if i were to make an arpg type thing for the onidogs, would you participate? what kind of events would you be interested in? lore-wise, what do you like? finally,, quests, yes or no? they would have rewards for completing them, and would be mostly character dev type prompts, but interactive with npcs and the like. any ideas for that?

okay, you have 2 options;

1) do you want to deal with the hassle of making them yourself?
or
2) do you want to only make digital work and have someone else make it into stickers (and other stuff)

so for #1, just invest in a sticker maker and your best bet would really be etsy - but you could try making a 'brand' and go on social media to sell it (IG, Twitter, etc etc). etsy it just the easiest option! a good mutual of mine grew a business from doing this! (:

for #2, go to redbubble! legit so easy to use, the downside is of course you don't get a lot of money - BUT you can increase the prices, therefore you'll gain more money. besides stickers, they'll put your designs on legit anything lol. clothing, phone accessories, clocks, bed sheets, curtains, etc.. not a good means of income, but it'll give you some change hah

----

can't really answer that other question as i don't participate in arpg's or anything.. but i think quests and events would be really cool! o: you could play on different time periods, basing quests/events on things from that era and create NPCs that would fit. idk. i'd totally be happy to throw a bunch of ideas though and maybe something will inspire you ((:

seconding this! a lot of my friends sell really well on social media (given we are art students just buying each others art because we love each others' work) and check to see if there are any local eclectic stores who buy art from local artists. i know we have a few in [insert my city here] that buy small batches of prints and stickers so if you want some kinds of examples of stores to look for, shoot a dm!
