5 weeks ago, I opened my new store, Trufflepig.
There are 41 designs in the store so far. All of them have cats! I have plans to add other animals but I enjoy drawing cats.
You are probably curious how much the store has earned so far. In total, I earned $52 🙂
My best-selling design is SAY NO TO ACTIVITY.
My plan for the next few weeks is to make a lot more designs. I want to have at least 100 designs in my store.
My new store, TRUFFLEPIG, got featured today as “Artist of the Day” on Threadless! That’s a delightful surprise 🙂
Someone bought a t-shirt from my new TRUFFLEPIG store!
To give you some context — I opened my store 3 days ago and have uploaded 11 designs so far. Of course, I know it is luck — someone noticed my design among thousands and liked it and bought it. But you might be just as lucky if you open your own store. The more designs you upload, the greater chance that someone will buy something from you.
It might seem like a humble start — one t-shirt sold. However, this is exactly how it was in the beginning when I opened my Fox Shiver store. I didn’t have huge sales from the start. But one by one people visited my store and bought something. I kept adding new designs, and earnings were increasing month by month. You can do the same — open an Artist Shop and add a few designs. Don’t get discouraged by a slow start. Keep making designs, and be patient.
If the person who bought the t-shirt reads this blog — thank you!
Today, I opened my new store on Threadless. It’s called TRUFFLEPIG because I like pigs and it’s a funny words. There will mostly be cute and humorous designs there. The main reason why I had decided to start a new store is that my main store, Fox Shiver, has gotten too big and is a mess — there are all kinds of designs there, no consistency.
From now on, I will be adding most of my designs — if they match the style — to my new store. But designs that aren’t funny and don’t have cute animals I will submit to my old store. I am also planning on opening yet another store with a completely different style. But for now, I want to make more designs for TRUFFLEPIG.
Here is my new store: TRUFFLEPIG
