Reinvesting into Yourself as an Artist

For most of artists, or people who create content in any form, getting that first commission or selling that first piece of merchandise is all they need as an initial boost to get them to turn their art into a full-time income. At least that’s what happened to me.I still remember my first commission, which was a 3$ (yes, really) hand-drawn sketch I did back around April 2020, in the middle of our first lockdown. The commission itself wasn’t the most exciting thing, neither were the 3 dollars, not that I am not thankful of course. But the most exciting part in reality was the awakening, the sudden epiphany - wow, I can actually make money from this! And once the first commission turned into another one, and another one, I started scaling up, and so far I have managed to get enough money to go by from this alone.However, the money I got did not go 100% to my needs and wants. At some point in the beginning I decided it would be wise (and it was) to actually reinvest in my hobby, which was slowly turning into a side-hustle. By doing this, I avoided the risk of growing stale and uninteresting to the audience, and I managed to stay motivated and keep this going for a long period of time. In this article, I’ve listed some of the ways I have reinvested in my art business myself or in which I plan to do so in the future. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
