I realized that it's not enough to keep posting about new art I make on Patreon in order to get attention. For one thing, I only post around once or twice a month here, but also, I need to start really pushing earning income on my work some other way. For years and years, I have never managed to find that formula for a successful Patreon, as I only have a handful of patrons who pledge here every month, and even then, it's only $1 for each patron. I have infinitely more free followers, but engagement can only get you so far.

I am considering opening commissions, selling more things on an online site, and/or a third alternate form of service that I haven't found yet. Any suggestions for other avenues is welcome in the comments section!

All in all, I just have to make releasable art more often, as the bulk of my income derives from clients who hold the rights to my work and which I can't always post publicly, and cannot release in my portfolio, which is a downside for me. You can't keep a job in this business if you don't constantly have anything to show for it.

And of course, if you haven't yet, consider donating TO my Patreon! And I can also be found on ko-fi!
