How to Sell PHYSICAL PRODUCTS as an ARTIST 💕 (the step by step process I followed)

Check out FiberArt if you'd like to bring your work to life :) www.fiberart.com/kelseyr
If you'd like to offer more than just prints and handmade goods in your store, that usually means you need to partner with a manufacturer. The whole process can honestly be really intimidating for beginners (I know I was really put off by the idea at first) but now that I've done it I don't think it's actually all that scary.
Finding the right manufacturer is honestly the biggest obstacle for most artists, especially if you're looking for one that aligns with your values. I strongly advise against going with large POD companies wherever possible, and trying to find small to medium sized businesses out there to support!

Sorry for the missing clip at 45 seconds! But if you have any recommendations for manufacturers, let me know ❤

I started using Printify. They have a good amount of options. They have stuff like apparel, posters, stickers, magnets, drinkware, and some others. I haven't made any sales yet but they're pretty good in my experience.

Thank you so much for talking about this, it's so difficult to find information online about how and where to get good quality products made. A lot of the artists I admire produce things themselves but that's simply not possible for everyone.

So, here's a perspective. I work at a large manufacturing company. We get the blank products shipped to us and then we embroider, screen print, patch, etc. On the items per the customer's orders. We get POD and one-offs and everything in between. While admirable to look for a company that has the standards you mentioned, there are big companies out there that will also work with you and make sure the product meets quality standards. Yes, they might not be eco friendly, but I think that will come with time.

@KelseyRodriguez 3 ай бұрын

I agree it's not always possible to check every box, and sometimes compromises do have to be made to realize a specific vision. Hopefully more manufacturers will transition to more sustainable practices soon! Out of curiosity, what large manufacturer do you work for?

@CourtneyCha0s 3 ай бұрын

@KelseyRodriguez it's called Hit Promotional Products. It's mostly B2B sales but there's a lot of small and big businesses that order from us. If you've had something embroidered over the last couple years, I've probably touched that order. I'm a proofreader so I'm the last stop before it goes to production.

thank you so much for this! I just watched your 40+ product ideas video, and i asked how to create the products.....and then u got this video just in time haha! :) i wish fiberart existed in norway, the taxes are insane in norway :/ but definitely worth looking up! i love all your videos btw

thank you for this insight, the list of manufacturers would be a great idea. I would be interested if anyone here could mention manufacturers in Europe, because I'm from Austria and so fiberart (which seems to be a very good company) is just too far away...

Ok this is probably a dumb question, but when you get a separate card for your business, how do you separate personal expenses? Like if your business is your only source of income and you have everything set to add balance to the business card, what do you do for things like paying for groceries?
