    What a lot of people have been doing...

    Buy junk at garage sales and thrift stores, then re-sell it on eBay. Mark up shipping to make added bank.

    Or buy simple stuff in bulk from Alibaba and ship it to Amazon warehouse for flogging at a markup.

        Life has been so hard lately, I'm going to school which means I'm working less hours and barely scraping by. I have all these art skills and backgrounds in animation and design, a plethora of computer knowledge and I'm pretty crafty. But I cant for the life of me seem to figure out what I should sell. I've tried Etsy, with a few paintings, some 3d prints I've designed, even a coloring book I made, but alas, I've got a total of 2 views and no sales.

        Maybe I just don't know what people want, what would you guys buy online?

        If you have 3d design experience, along with doing 3d print files you could also sell assets on sites like CG trader or Turbosquid. You could make smartmaterials/gltfs or other asset bundles and list them and maybe start getting a passive income. Also consider offering a commercial license option for your 3d prints, I understand that's usually where artists end up making more 3d print sales because people will justify the cost by thinking they will sell the prints, and often they don't.

            Background in animation and design sounds perfect for creating assets for streamers/vtubers. There always seems to be some demand for logos, "stingers" (animations that play between changing scenes), looping videos for idle screens (when the streamer isn't on camera, such a "taking a break" scenes), and emotes. Take a look around vgen.co and see if those types of things might be up your alley.

                  This is so odd to me cause when I was young (2005-2010), I'd use DA all the time and never ran into any kinky/furry/porn stuff. I just enjoyed cool art mostly. I guess maybe some fanfic, but nothing hardcore.

                  I'm not shaming anyone at all for it, it's just weird to me that I somehow managed to avoid it all.

                    OF account, if you are saavy, people have hordes of accounts to earn income from reddit, yes it involves evading reddits filters.(using various things like new devices, proxies, anti-detection browsers.)

                      The secret trick to earning online is faking it. Before you promote anything online, have an army of fake accounts to generate buzz, engagement, comments, reviews, to defend you and stuff. It'll not be easy, but that's how the world works now.

                      Start small and see where it goes. Use AI to your advqntagr to appear human, respond and stuff.

                      A lot of youtubers, gurus, and even agencies depend on it. First you prop up your accounts, catch the eye of the algorithm, then you get recommended to other people. Once you get to the million mark, dumb people will just repeat what you're saying without a shred of self-reflection.

                      Call any criticism haters, call it a joke if you do something bad, keep saying what the followers want to hear and it's smooth sailing from there.

                        I made [email protected] for discussing this very thing. I wrote a beginners guide to eBay. I recently figured out that people on marketplace care more about PCs with a windowed case and rgb lights over system specs.

                          My advice, pick a fetish and focus on it. Put a few pieces out so people watching those fetish tags get familiar with you then start dropping the "comssions open" in the description.

                              Reddit, deviant art, Twitter. They're also on mastadon bluesky and lemmy but those platforms aren't as large so the number of potential customers is smaller

                                  I wouldn't have imagined. Never used it and thought it wasn't really popular anymore. I thought Tumblr would be an option instead..
