Hello, everybody and welcome back to my channel
Jennifer Marie VO where I teach you different ways that you can
make money online working from home. If you haven't already,
make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel for more videos
on how to earn an income online. I also have a new YouTube
channel called Studio Jen where I will be focusing more on
videos about creating content and videos for YouTube, and
eventually teaching you how to make money by creating content
for YouTube. So a few months ago, I created a poll on my
channel, asking my subscribers if you are artistic or if you
would be interested in learning how to make money online using
your skills as an artist. The majority of my subscribers said
that they weren't great at art, but they would like to learn and
are interested in earning money by being creative. And this
could be anything from someone who is good at drawing or
painting illustrating creating logos, graphics, etc. So I have
been working on this video on five different ways that you can
make money online if you are an artist. Or if you are just a
creative person, you do not need to be a professional artist to
make money online. But you just need to be willing to learn and
you just need a good eye for what looks good, and you just
need to practice. I will be releasing more videos on my
Studio Jen channel teaching you how to create logos and design.
And this will help you be successful earning money with
these methods I'm going to teach you about in this video. So I
have friends who are artists and have made money on these
websites. And I have also made money on a few of them myself
with a few of my different side projects. So all of these
methods are 100% legit and real. So let's get started. Okay, so
the first website I'm going to teach you about on how you can
make money online as an artist is called Society6. So let's
review some of the highlights. on society six, you can sell
your original artwork or designs in different forms without
having to worry about production or shipping. Basically, Society6
is a website where you will upload a file a graphic design
or maybe a picture or something you've drawn or created. And
society six will offer users or customers the ability to
purchase your design. For example, let's say you drew a
beautiful painting of a waterfall. And maybe someone
liked your painting so much they bought it as a painting for
their wall, or they bought it as a coaster like different posters
for their desk or a pillowcase or a duvet cover. You don't have
to worry about creating the actual items themselves. Society
six will take a commission and they will do all of the
production for you. So it's basically like you having your
own store but all you have to do is upload the design, and they
will produce and deliver your design on a different variety of
different media. I will show you some examples shortly. So
artists earnings are paid via PayPal on the first business day
of each month, and credited 30 days after the shipment of each
order. Artists earn 10% of every sale. Now you might think well
10% is quite low. But you don't have to pay for the costs of for
example, the pillowcase and all the work involved in printing
the artwork onto the pillowcase and shipping it and the shipping
costs Society6deals with everything else. So this is the
society six website. So basically what I wanted to show
you is there's all sorts of feature products. Now right now
a big one that's trending our face masks now that everyone has
to wear different face masks everywhere you go because of
COVID-19 all of these are different patterns or something
that people have created. And whatever your design is, someone
might buy this $14 face mask for example and someone has made
this little design of this cat and you know basically they're
going to sell these face masks and you'll get a commission if
someone buys your design which is printed on this face mask. So
all of these are many different examples and this is a quite a
cool and fun niche to get into right now because obviously this
is really popular. Okay, let's look at this. For example. This
artist here Madeline Martinez, they've created this design of
this little plant so that say you really like this and you
wanted to buy, you know she's selling these for all these
different costs. I mean this is really expensive $243 just for
this large print of this of this plant, but they will actually
print off this and send it in this large frame. And you don't
have to do anything other than upload your design. If we click
on her shop for example. This woman has 148 different designs.
And this is her storefront and you can buy all sorts of
different framed art prints, mini ones or large ones. And
some of her designs are quite simple.
And some of these you can see this says Get naked, Nice bum, I
mean, this isn't even really, you know, this is not even
anything really difficult to come up with the person
literally just you know, has used this font or created this
font on black. And this is a bathmat that they're selling, we
click on this, this website cheeky little designs. You know,
this is really, this is very simple and they're selling these
as, as framed art prints as wood wall art. And all you really
have to do is upload your little logo or your design or your
whatever you've come up with, and people can buy this from
your store. So here is an example of a poster set that I
bought from my friend's shop to support him and he is an artist
on Society6 he created this painting of a park in Madrid.
And now he sells these different designs on society six, and you
can buy them as coasters or duvet covers or pillowcases or
framed artwork for your wall. And he gets a commission every
time someone buys something from his shop. So if you go to
Society6.com/sell/art, it will show you exactly how it works.
Number one, you upload your work, you create an account, you
start uploading to your artist shop to you design and enable
products, you can enable a best in class array of wall art, home
decor, furnitures, apparel and lifestyle products. Three, start
selling, promote your work and watch the earnings rolling for
setback, we fulfill print and ship everything so you can get
back to doing what you love and create more art. So Society6
takes care of all the difficult part of this. And you just need
to focus on creating art and promoting it. So you know
whether that is sharing your designs on Pinterest or on
YouTube or with your friends and family on Facebook and using,
you know SEO and keywords, try to sell your designs and get
them to become popular on the website. But this is a way to
get started with selling your artwork, obviously, you're not
going to become rich overnight, you need to build up a presence
and have quality work. But eventually, you know people
could find your work. And you know, you can make commission
this way, as my friend has. And all you have to do is click
Register. And you can say Are you here to discover art or
upload art. So you would click Upload art and then here you can
go ahead and start to create your storefront. If you're
interested in me showing you a little bit more step by step I
might consider doing tutorials for each of these methods and
showcasing them on my Studio Jen YouTube channel. So make sure to
subscribe to that channel where I'll show you more in depth on
how to use each of these websites. Another thing I want
to show you is there's a website called similar web where we can
analyze any website to see the type of traffic because there
are a lot of different websites similar to society six, but
maybe you're asking well how many people are actually
visiting these websites looking for are looking for something to
buy and not just using Amazon, for example. So let's go ahead
and analyze Society6.com. So here you can see a little bit of
information about this website. You can see this isn't a brand
new website, this website was founded in 2009. It's the number
eight website for arts and entertainment in the world,
according to the category rank here. You know, actually,
there's more and more people visiting this website each
month, you can see in March 3 million, almost 4 million
people, 5 million people in April, over 5 million in June
and almost 7 million people viewing this website in July.
You can also see where people are looking from now one of the
beautiful things about this website is you might be from
India or the Philippines or something and have a piece of
your artwork there. But people from the United States will be
able to buy your piece of artwork because they're
producing this artwork in the United States. So they will just
ship it from the United States to whoever the client is, even
though the artist is in the Philippines or in India. So as
long as you can accept money with PayPal, which I know is a
struggle for some countries. And that's why I have other options
I'm going to show you in this video for earning as an artist
that does not pay with just PayPal, but this is a great
option for you.
Okay, so the second way that you can earn money as an artist or
as a creator is with a website called 99designs. So there are
two ways that you can work with 99designs. You can work directly
with clients with a one to one project where you would design a
project or design something custom for your client. But more
typically, before you reach that point, you will compete with the
community in a design contest, which is the other way that you
can work with 99designs. So basically, let's say there's a
company and they want to design a certain type of logo but they
don't know exactly what they want. They might say hi I have a
cleaning company. I like the colors blue and pink. And I want
the logo to be in a circle and this is the name of the logo.
Well, you will compete with a whole bunch of different
designers trying to create the logo that this person will pick.
And if they pick you, then you'll get paid money for that
design. Now, of course, this is competitive, but it is a fun way
to sort of learn and practice your skills while you are
competing in a contest. And eventually, if you start to have
people pick your design, then you will build a portfolio and
become better known within the community of 99 designs. And
then you're more likely to get jobs being able to work directly
with clients. And it's also just an interesting way to sort of
practice your skills and challenge yourself to become a
better logo or graphic design artist. So 99designs offers two
different payment options Payoneer, and there's no
withdrawal fee, free activation, low charges apply. And there's a
24 to 48 hour turnaround. The other option is with PayPal,
there's no withdrawal fee charges apply, and there's a two
to three day turnaround. So this is a great website for those
artists who are in different countries that maybe don't
accept PayPal, but they do accept Payoneer. Okay, so this
is 99designs are right here, I'm on the 99designs.es, but you can
just go to 99designs.com, they have many different website and
extensions, depending on the country that you are looking
from. So you can see the different sorts of things people
are creating here, there's product labels, there's logo
designs, business cards. So here's an example, this client
here wanted to get a have a logo. So this is the contest
that they had. And this is the winner of the contest. So this
designer right here would have got paid for creating this
little logo here. And basically, the client would have a brief
here, they'd say the industry that they're in their slogan,
their design, inspiration, so logos that they liked, then they
say the colors that they're interested in the design style
that they like, and they pay for the $300 package, now, you would
get a commission of that not the full amount, because 99designs
does take a profit. And then you can see here, there were 110
design entries from 52 different designers, so you were
competing, this person was competing with 52 different
designers. And some of them had multiple design entries. And
then there was one winner. So if you're looking, you have a one
in 50 chance, for example of of winning, which isn't a huge
chance. But this does give you an opportunity to compete with
other people and to sort of practice and improve and become
better at your own design and logo creation skills. So if you
want to become a designer with 99designs, you just go to
99designs.com/designers. And then you can just click on Apply
now. And basically, it's free to sign up, you just say you're a
designer. And again, there's two different ways to work, you can
work directly with clients, or you can compete with the
community in a design contest. So the negatives is that, you
know, if you do participate in a contest, and you don't win, you
know, you will get all the rights to your work. So you can
use those in your portfolio. Unfortunately, you won't get
paid, but it does give you a chance to sort of build your
portfolio and to improve your own design skills. And then
eventually, hopefully, you'll be able to build a good enough
portfolio that you can work directly with clients on this
website. So again, we're gonna go to similar web.com. And look
at the stats of this website. This was founded in 2006. You
can see here that they're averaging over 3 million
visitors per month, actually closer to 4 million visitors per
month. So there are a lot of people coming to this website.
And you can see here, there's 99 designs.com.de, .fr. So I think
the stats of all of these combined would be even greater.
So I would just go ahead and create an account at
99designs.com or whatever country that you're in, because
it's all connected to the same website.
Okay, so the third way that you can earn money as an artist is
with a website that is very similar to society six but
actually gets even more traffic called Red Bubble. So with Red
Bubble, you can sell your original artwork or designs in
different forms in your own online shop without having to
worry about production or shipping. So it's very similar
to society six, where you would upload a design that you have
created yourself. And then that design can be sold in the form
of a facemask or a sticker or a T-shirt or a piece of artwork to
put on someone's wall and then you don't have to worry about
actually shipping it to anyone or producing it Red Bubble will
do that for you. You just have to worry about creating artists
earnings are paid via PayPal, payments are made once a month
via PayPal once you reach $20 in profit. So this is the website
right here, redbubble.com. And as you can see right now, face
masks are a huge thing because everyone's going to be wearing
them. You know right now it's the new normal. So people are
selling tons of different face masks and different little fun
creative ones. And that is a really big thing right now, that
even has its own category right here, all masks adult masks, kid
masks... Let's look at teen masks. Yes, there's all sorts of
like fun little designs that people are coming up with. So
you can see there's shop masks, shops for stickers, t shirts,
posters, wall art clothing, you can go ahead and click on sell
your art to find out a little bit more about if you were to
sell on this website. Sell your art printed on high quality
products to a global audience. It's fun, easy and quick to get
started. So if you want to know how Red Bubble works, you upload
your designs to products in your shop. customers find and
purchase products they love featuring your designs, products
are produced to order and shipped around the world. And
customers get an awesome product and you get paid. So you can
choose to put your arm on whatever product you want. So
for example, this is the little design right here, you could
sell it as a painting, as a piece of clothing as an iPhone
case, or as a T shirt. You have control over what you earn with
flexible pricing. There's anti piracy and watermark features to
protect your designs. And then you have support for customers
24 seven. So you go ahead and sign up and you will sign up as
an artist fill in all of your information. And then you can
begin to create your own shop. Again, if this is something that
you're interested in knowing, you know, more step by step
about how you would upload it how exactly you go about this
process. Let me know in the comment section because I will
make videos specifically for Society6, and 99designs and Red
Bubble, for you know each of these different websites. And I
will put those on my Studio Jen website where I will be talking
more about graphic design and logo creation and all of that
stuff. They also have a help center that gives you all really
in depth information on how to get started with designing and
uploading your work and even promoting your shop so you can
make more money. Let's go ahead and look at the analytics on
similarweb.com. You can see here that this was founded in 2006.
And you can see that they have millions and millions: 26
million, 25 million, 21 million. And this is right now up to 32
million visitors in July. It seems to just be going up more
and more and more now that people are online more and
people are shopping online and not going to stores as much
because of the pandemic. People are going to websites like this
to buy their face masks so they have something cool to wear when
they're going to town for example. Of course these
statistics also take into account people who are you know,
sellers for this website visiting this website. But
obviously this is a huge amount of people and a lot of these are
buyers and people looking for different products. So this
video is getting pretty long and I've already discussed three
different ways to earn money as an artist online. I will be
making a second part of this video Part Two where I will
discuss another two or possibly three other methods to make
money online as an artist. So I will be releasing the second
part of this tutorial later on this week. So thank you once
