CHECK OUT my newest video: https://youtu.be/rOWRdrABiJM

So refreshing to find someone telling the truth, instead of all these clickbait scammers promising thousands just to get views. Thanks for the tips and the honesty. 😊

Finally someone who is REALISTIC and HONEST! I hate those clickbait “I made $5k on Etsy in one month” bs. So I subscribed immediately. Very valuable content, thanks! ❤

Thank you for posting REALISTIC results. Everybody else on YT pretends you can make thousands per month easily, but it requires hard work and perseverance and it seems that most people don't want to do any hard work.

Traditional art videos are always about sharing knowledge, motivation, creativity, etc... while most AI art videos are just about making money. I think is says a lot about the AI art community.

The fact is that it doesn't matter how good your art is or any other products you sell on etsy, until you start running ads you will not see major profit. Or you have to have a huge online following. In short, the secret of being successful on etsy or Amazon or any other platform (nowadays, when markets are saturated) IS running ads AND running them successfully. Unfortunately, the actual talented artists don't make any serious money online, but only those who are skilled at marketing and more technical aspects are the ones who succeed..

At least you made a very insightful video out of it and didn't make a thumbnail image with a four figure dollar amount for it. Your honesty and openness is really appreciated and I wish you success wihile continuing this!

I work in the art industry although am not an artist.. the thing with art is collectors want art created by a human. Art is more than just a pretty design, there is a story, craft and a journey that goes into creating a piece. AI art is cool but lacks that soul which makes art precious.

I make money selling my art, but it is a lot more involved than just making art and suddenly making money. It's business, branding, tax law, market research, seasonal rotation, event scheduling, economics, crafting, labeling, packaging, customer relations, communication and many more skills. It may seem as simple as having fun making art and then selling a product, but there is a lot that goes on in the background to make the customer happy with their purchase and have an enjoyable interaction. I made many business mistakes when I started, and I learned and improved my business with each event. Customers don't want original art? Sell fine art prints. Millennials and zoomers have a preference for the practical? Sell functional art alongside the prints. If there is a new product idea, make a small amount to start, and expand upon it, should it be successful. And remember the 2-4 year rule of small business: You will only lose money or break even for the first 2-4 years of your business, and any profit made will go back into the business. There is no get-rich-quick for a sensible art business, but it is fulfilling if one is serious about putting in the effort. And seeing people fall in love with my art, finding a piece that speaks to them or finding the perfect gift for their friends and family is what makes me happy to share my art.

Appreciate the advice and the realistic results man. Helps a lot

I appreciate the honest sharing of results!

Thanks for sharing your journey and lessons learned. Great video and best of luck on your shop!

Mark your video are juicy of content and value decorated by honesty not click bite. You are the first YouTuber after 5 years i can finally subscribe! No scamming no bullshit. Many thanks.

Thank you for saving me several months. And for your honest, and objective feedback, as you shared your very real life experience with us. I would subscribe twice if I could.

This was informative. I actually was quite a successful artist on Etsy (in house printing too). I got a lot of free exposure from Etsy staff. But as the site expanded I noticed people were able to add a huge amount of inventory fast and I couldn’t keep up. I wondered how they did it. Never thought about actions or presets (silly me). Now I’m playing around with AI with my artwork to create different variations. Kind of fun. Ai though could of created your elements rather than needing to use creative market. It does kind of suck for traditional artists, but I personally think it’s important they get knowledgeable about AI art tools.

Because of your honestly and straight forward a approach you just got a new subscriber thanks. Keep it up brother.

Valuable insight, thank you Max.

You are telling the facts about this business brother..really appreciate the efforts and it makes my vision clear..

As a traditional artist 🎨 the fact you lost money - 💰 using A.i. makes my heart sing 😆 🤣 🤑

More great information. I like keeping it real. I'll be watching for more ... Cheers
