My Six Income Streams as a Pet Portrait Artist in 2024

In this video, I'll be sharing the six ways I make money as a pet portrait artist in 2024. Five of these income streams were set up over the past 18 months, and I'd love to share the valuable insights I've gained along the way. If you're a creative, I hope this video inspires you with ideas on how to maximize the potential of your artwork and diversify your income streams.

Wonderful info! You provide so much value (and hope) to those of us in the beginning stages of our art journey. 🥰

Another way to potentially sell originals is to look for open art shows or joining societies that have shows, such as the Association of animal artists. There’s usually an entry fee and commission, but it’s another way of getting your work seen by a different audience!

Thanks for all you tips, they’re really useful, just opened my Folksy shop and I’d agree about not taking on too much as it took way longer than I expected!

I love how much progress you’ve made in the last year! I started following when you were doing your first art fair. This was so inspiring to watch and congratulations on the commission calendar filling up!!!

Thank you Alex for these valuable pointers. You give me hope that I’ll be able to focus on forging an art career once my babies are in school!!

This was so interesting! I am definetly annotating all the things you talk in the video to try them myself and in this way get more income from my art 😊 I have been thinking for a while to upload some classes to skillshare and you convinced me! Thank you for this video 🧡

My website is about to be launched...it still needs tweaking and things added, but if I wait for everything to be perfect, nothing is going to happen. For the time being people can go there and check out my portfolio and get in touch with me. Small baby steps, but that's better than being stagnant.

Thank you for this video! I was just in search for other way to make money off my commission that I work extremely hard on. I also just need other income streams to make my life easier.

My goal is to earn more passive income as well.

Currently I sell originals, prints, merch, teach kids and adults, teach and attend art events for a local art organization, and do sponsorship work for a kocal art event.

I love the bookmarks. Where dod you get them printed?
