Richie Rich's Diary

[jungkook]

Hi mate,

I’m not sure about that to be honest, I haven’t seen anyone on Etsy selling that kind of thing, but maybe?

Awesome, I might have a look!

Been reading through this thread mate and you've done a fantastic job - well done!

Hi Rich,

This sounds amazing and I have been thinking about doing this - do you think this would work with photographs I have taken myself i.e. landscape, sunsets, etc.

Yes would seem to be the answer, if the number on there is anything to go by. https://www.etsy.com/uk/search?q=sunset photo&ref=auto-1

A lot of those don’t have many sales though, none the less it might be worth a go.

Might give it a go! I'm a sucker for sunsets so have thousands of pictures on my phone/camera so thought it might be something to potentially try haha!

I’m hopefully opening my new store on Etsy next week, using a drop-shipping company, so I will keep you posted!

How are you getting on Rich?

I've had another idea as I've seen you can sell prints of drawings. I do some portrait drawing on the side so think I am going to attempt to sell some prints of a few celebs that I have drawn!

I’ve opened today, paying $5 per day to advertise at the minute, no orders so far but I wasn’t expecting any straight away

If you’re a good drawer you could make a lot I think. Have you seen one line art? If you could do that you’d be on to a winner I reckon. Like one line art dog pictures, etc.

They might also sell well if you presented them as an oil or watercolour, change the original with an editing software. Not so much the sunsets but may be street scenes

Oh awesome mate, hope everything goes well with it!

That one line art sounds really good to be honest. I may take a look at that mate as it would definitely be easier than portrait drawings!

Never thought of that, a nice water colour might be a good idea. Thanks

Lots of people are selling this Picasso dove of peace…

But I don’t understand where they are getting the high quality image from? I have found it on one site but it says cannot be resold commercially. I’ve scoured the internet for it. Anyone have any ideas?

Wow, honestly (as you can probably guess), Ive never really understood 'art'.. that looks similar to a drawing my five year old grandson did recently. He's also drawn a cracking line drawing about Easter...Im just thinking should I put that up on Etsy - its Jesus with a sad face - I suppose for obvious reasons at Easter- but it might be worth a shot.
That listing is unbeleivebly low price - I thought that might be for a download but its a print with free postage too!

Yeah I don’t really know why they are selling it so cheap. One of my friends has a store and she sells it for minimum £13.95 with delivery, and hers is a “best seller”.

Hey guys, what would be the best printer for prints? Would it be a laser or ink jet? I'd assume laser but i have absolutely no idea.

Also, what paper would you guys recommend? I've drawn on bristol strathmore paper but not sure that'd be compatible with a printer Epson archival paper rings a bell?
