A month ago I made a post about a quarantine hobby that I was making some beer money from. I unexpectedly got several messages from people interested in a portrait, and a handful of them turned into actual sales. I was charging $35-60 USD.From there, I joined a few dog/pet oriented Facebook groups and just booked a $500 custom piece! They sent me a 50% deposit within a few hours of messaging me.Lessons learned so far:- If you have an idea with low risk - try it. My investment was a $30 drawing tablet and a few hours of learning- Don't be afraid to follow up - this is key! Whatever you're selling, it's probably not the person's priority and they might forget. Don't take it personally.- Treat your first few clients like VIPs, because they are. Go above and beyond - I offered lots of freebies and unlimited revisions. These clients are key to growth and referrals. I understand scalability is important, but not as important as having something worth scalingLink to said portraits: https://ift.tt/3oEiw06 - Credit for digital frame: rawpixel.com see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
