Can I have the $500, I just subbed 😂

uggghhh that $500, i could buy pen tablet with that. Good luck with the winner.

I honestly just subscribed only because I found this video. Maybe passive income for artists need to be more popular on youtube, especially since we know big artubers make alot of money :)

I just subbed.... but u know if wishes were horses....

$500 🙏🙏 I'm in. Sub done. Let the lady of luck chooses the lucky one. Bless your channel and bless the winner. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

South America moment

Yes :( i need it so bad

True

Sucks to be in the Philippines I want out lmao

Sad I get 650 a week unemployment and I pay no bills but yet I spend it on the dumbest shit LMAOO

i really need to get over this hurdle. I am a graphic design student and want to start freelancing to gain experience but I always feel i'm not "good enough"

@ILGB not true at all, all modern music is below average, all music video production is garbage, most illustrators and concept artists are trash, most 3d animators suck and overall people give much more money to those who are more willing to take it and not to those who deserve it

@@briannamercedes4016 Hey, you go this! This IS experience, especially when you apply yourself to it. That is what shines through. :} Best of luck

ikr?! That struck me the most in this video. :}

Same here brother

This kind of stuff is really heartbreaking to hear - I really hope this video series is helpful for you guys. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them in the next videos.

@@StylizedStation Thank you so much for all the tutorials you posted on this channel so far! I'm really thankfull for all the amazing tips you have been providing us so far! You are amazing! : )

Lots more free stuff to come! I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos.

@@SrSeed I feel with you bro, and a worldwide Universal Basic Income is the only real way to save the mess that society is in right now. Art is underappreciated, and if you're not pushy, you're sidelined!

@@m4r_art and who's gonna pay for that?

Ayo Patreon?

Saucee

@@cyan7776 I can't have it tied back to me. T_T

Where should we sell the assets tho?

Where've you been advertising your patreon? did you have a following on other socials beforehand??

Same.

Yes

literally me

You'll get better. Now you have incentives.

Same

This is honestly the most valuable point in the video

It's so sweet, knowing that you love me Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair It's so sweet Watching the video where you're lying In your red lingerie ten times nightly You know I think your skin's the perfect color But it's always your eyes that pull me under It's so sweet, knowing that you love me Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair It's so sweet And I will gladly break it I will gladly break my heart for you And I will gladly break it I will gladly break my heart for you And I will gladly break it I will gladly break my heart for you And I will gladly break it I will gladly break my heart for you It's so sweet, knowing that you love me Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair It's so sweet

Digital artists can't be entrepreneurs?

@@StylizedStation Of course. I just meant that everything you went over in the video could be applied to much more than digital art.

@@StylizedStation Of course they can, but most artists I know aren't, myself included...

@@volker2714 Well if you don't have the entrepreneur mindset then you can't exactly start a business and make passive income selling art. Your only option is working as an employee at a studio or MAYBE freelance but even freelancing is a little entrepreneurial in its nature.

This is an excellent video in a number of ways! It is great for digital artists especially because you don't need to deal with the added problems of trying to record the creation of physical art! (I do both traditional art AND digital art). And OF COURSE it's all about being an entrepeneur! Even if you are freelancing part-time due to working a "regular" job, or if you just want to sell digital assets, or merch, or have A YT channel and sell things via the description window such as links to Amazon to tools or equipment you use, or other affiliate links, then yes, you are an entrepeneur! 😊 It boils down to; "Nothing is ever easy"! Success is usually never overnight. It builds upon itself. That means there are some skills, research, and persistance of vision required! It can be a real grind (even if you love what you do!), because you may be creating your own "job", and you become that tough boss - on yourself! 😂 If you create a product (like a physical product you have to sell) or a digital product (like digital assests), or things like a course, that all requires up-front investment of your time. BUT, when you can re-sell it over-and-over again, then that part of it is the passive income! I'm currently selling my art printed on products that I have made for me at workshops and printers. I pre-fund my purchse of those things by doing KS campaigns. Now I am allowing some investors so I can make more products buyers are requesting, as I need to pay for samples, etc. Then I can offer these things too, and not do a seperate campaign for each item, AND fill my online store with products. But selling a physical product can be tough because of the admin work time required and fulfillment, which I have done all myself until recently.☹️ It takes away from my ART CREATION TIME, and creating new art is what it's all about! So now I'm implementing a plan (after researching it a bit), to base my business only on my digital products. I will still create traditional art when I want to, but I will be doing primarily digital design and art. The beauty of it, is that you can have the best of both worlds (if you love traditional art) and create digital art that looks like traditional art, but is faster to make. And there are other awesome digital based art forms like video! I'm exploring digital video creation of things like soundscape/ambient relaxation videos. Using both nature footage and in another style using both 2D and 3D based art I create. It's a wild ride and not for the faint of heart. Being your own boss can be as easy or demanding on you as you choose. It boils down to knowing what you want, creating goals for yourself, but being flexible and realizing it's NOT going to be easy. I'm not at 10K per month, but I see that it is doable now. Running a business is hard, but it helps to have a positive attitude and have persistance of vision. Creating art is the easy part. And if you want to NOT be working for anyone else, and become a full-time artist, you have to have a plan, do your research and commit to yourself and your vision.

Art is pain and suffering, soul crushing dissapointment in human kind. :(

@@Kalorag the embodiment of there are two types of people

Art is painful but also rewarding

@@Yuuki-jp4ob art doesn't hurt anyone 😂 it's probably your ego hurting you

Agree

It's just that the specific asset flip market like Turbosquid is over saturated. There are niches for things like Kitbash kits and anything personality driven. It's just that if I look up "tank" or "house" or "car" on Sketchfab or Turbosquid I get hundreds of hits because over time each random thing people look for will be saturated in the same way stock footage has become saturated if I look up "office worker smiling" or "graph of stocks going up".

Update: I published my first KZfaq video. It only took me a week from buying equipments to production. Recalling why I made this decision, I think mostly because of your video. After I finished editing video, I was like:”Wow, I did it?!” I was thrilling because this is the first video that I create for MYSELF. I don’t have to ask any client’s opinion. I’m the director, the boss and it felt GREAT!! And I got nothing to lose. I will only be afraid if I never try. THANK YOU!!!

@@bella0610tw Now just keep going for your goal and don't give up.

Thats an awesome little niche you've got there! Targeting people on tablets looking to do art is a really cool target audience.

@@StylizedStation ;3; you inspire me! Should I invest into video editing for my timelapses and talk over them?

@@jaredgibson6046 Yes! If you mean editing your own videos and talking over them, there is a ton of value in that.

I think the idea is you front load more of the work, invest early, then as time goes in you don’t have to spend as much time doing it. But yeah it’s still a lot of work.

Oh boy, I can't wait to bomb some dodongos!!!!

passive income isn't just free money :) you have to put the work in in the beginning

yeah, i think what is more true to "passive" income is things like, idk redbubble, government bonds, etc.. this is more of an... active income i would say

@@maiamiller3648 But if you have to actively continue putting in the same effort to continue making that money, I wouldn’t call it “passive.” Working what amounts to a entrepreneurial part-time job isn’t considered a “passive” income. Managing your websites, social media, marketing, etc. 24/7 is arguably even more work than a casual part time job.

Wish you luck!! 😊👍

Welcome aboard!

Awesome book. I'd recommend reading This is Marketing as a follow up - its SO good

It's more possible in the nsfw field than in the sfw field. Anyway, those who make 10k+ a month are definitely in the vast minority. And many of them get 10k a month as a team, not as an individual. Furthermore, those who get there got there after years of hand work. Anyway, the video is... ok. But I feel like the title is really clickbaity.

@@twelve535 I did not even consider the nsfw/sfw aspect. I'll keep that in mind ^^

@@tsrmmercy836 Alright. But just because a handful of people manage to make it this high, doesn't mean everyone can.

@@GerardMenvussa yeah but have you tried to get that high? You are expecting to much if you want to end up like them. I never said you CAN go that high I'm just telling you he exist. And I never said you can't get that high either.

@@GerardMenvussa if you put your audience first and not your will to make money you will succeed. KZfaq will take 10 months to figure out who your audience are. Be consistent, be productive and be of excellent quality. Forget what goal others set, decide how much you need to be free, double that (taxes) and give it minimal 1 year to gain momentum.

This is something I really want to talk about more, and create more dialog around - especially for people that are employed by companies. Being open about your salary and how much money you make is really important. I hate this hush hush culture that big companies have perpetuated. It only exists so they can pay you less.

@@StylizedStation On point bro.

Nice xD! you made a really great addon congrats I hope more people gets to know your addon is really amazing and useful.

@@Scultronic thanks for the support! I'm working on the next update right now :p

CHOCOCOCO

@@God0fTime yeah, choco is running low right now.

DO NOT pay for those courses lol.

There is 100s of free courses you never have to pay

Whaa with that money you could get a graph tablet 💀💀❓

@@yanadnadya got one. 😁

@@sonatuh Yeah, but sometimes paid courses are just greater. The artist coloring book is one of my favorites 😁

Sacrificing security is the hardest part of becoming self-sustainable. But then again, your job can fire you whenever they feel like it.

@@StylizedStation It's not that simple, they can fire someone for a specific reason, but never just because they want to, they need the reason so they can let you go, there is laws so you just get fire because they want to.

There is no secret formula. You can watch videos like mine all day, but unless you start actually doing the work and making mistakes, you aren't going to achieve anything

I just finished the voice over today! Should be ready early next week

@@StylizedStation Fantastic! Really looking forward to that one. Thank you for all the amazing work you do out here!

If it takes so long, how will you know you're making progress?

How do you mean that? I know i live in the first world and win on default. I can alway just work in a super marked for 14,23 $ per hour. Life is easy if your not drug addicted and don´t have expensive hobbys or habits.

Once I bought a course thinking that it would go more in depth than the youtube videos I've already watched, boy was I wrong. That happened to me twice, and then I stopped buying courses. Courses are best for complete beginners as it saves them the trouble and time of looking around for good free tutorials. That is, unless the course was complete shit... which the beginner wouldn't know unless he looked around for good free tutorials...

How about making and sharing lists of free tutorials in various fields and instead of charging a price, allow donations as an option?

I think selling courses is a pretty terrible move for a all the reasons you listed. It also diminishes your exposure because more people will look at free tutorials than paid ones. The better route is to offer free tutorials with packages, patreon, or donations. Once you have a larger audience it's easier to say "pay x dollars to get all the assets used in this tutorial if you want to follow along or use them in your own products".

One of the biggest challenges you're going to face is changing your mindset. The earlier you do it the better

@@StylizedStation Yeah, the mindset sure is difficult, im a 3D artist and 3D printer props for cosplay, sometimes its hard to be like i see friends making money with it, but i have like 0 sales and 1 Subscriber on this youtube. I really want to figure out how to just get out of this nothing happening to making it out of this hole.

with Nanite technology in UE5 that is no longer an issue
