Sharing channels for making money by illustrations
1. Contributor of illustrations:
1) vision china/Station Cool Hailuo
These two platforms are relatively authoritative. Vision china needs to upload his works on the platform after signing the contract, and Zhan Kuhailuo can upload them directly. When uploading, you can choose exclusive or non-exclusive to see your own needs. Although the non-exclusive income is not too high, the same work can be sold continuously to make money, which is a good way to continue to earn income.
2) Other platform websites
such as Illustrator China, Rice Painter, Graffiti Kingdom, Painters' Union, Art Box, UI China, Qiantu.com, Petals and so on.
when uploading works on these platforms, it is best to pay more attention to the targeted uploading of commercial hotspots and upload them in series, which will double the effect.
2. Peripheral products
1) Self-owned intranet:
You can open your own shop here, so you need to have your own traffic. It can also be sold on behalf of the company, and the share of sales revenue will be much less, but the products can be sold through the traffic of the platform. Before this, I simply uploaded a few pictures, and the very simple pictures sold a few lists pleasantly, but because it was for sale, the income was not very high, but it was also a small channel for continuous income.
2) Taobao shop cooperation:
After you continue to increase your exposure and promote yourself, some Taobao shops will take the initiative to seek your cooperation. There are two ways for shops to cooperate:
You set the price
For example, a T-shirt shop has its own floor price, which will let you set the price. The money you earn is the price you set minus the floor price of the shop.
pricing (you decide) = store floor price+price difference (earning)
Earning commission
For example, a decorative painting shop will give 5% ~ 1% of its monthly sales, which will be divided into specified times each month.
3) Open your own shop:
Taobao shop or micro shop. This requires you to bring your own traffic and have a certain popularity. Many people like your paintings very much, so you can open your own shop and sell some peripheral products made by your own illustrations. For example, T-shirts, notebooks, mobile phone cases, canvas bags, pillows and so on.
4) Publishing books:
Illustration books or picture books can continuously earn royalties.
5) Off-line large-scale illustration activities:
For example, illustration carnival, Singularity Art Festival, China International Illustrator Hundred People Exhibition and other activities. Here, you can constantly sell your own peripheral products, and you can also meet many illustrators in the same industry. Many merchants will come here to find illustrators, which will give you more possibilities and opportunities. Please click to enter a picture description

This requires you to constantly publicize and promote yourself. Actively publishing works on different platforms, increasing contacts, and being active in each group will bring you greater opportunities.

4. You find customers
1) Illustration groups
Join as many WeChat groups related to illustrations as possible, and there will always be illustration-related needs, and take the initiative when you feel it is suitable for you. You can also publish more of your latest works to let more people know about you, so that when there is a suitable demand, you will probably be given priority.

There are also many recruitment illustrators or part-time illustrators in major recruitment websites, especially picture books.
6) Major vertical painting websites
Illustrator Home, Graffiti Kingdom and other related websites often have a lot of illustration needs.
5. Teacher/teaching assistant
Teaching assistant: It can not only bring some income, but also bring huge network resources, and accelerate the growth with teachers.
teacher: you need to accumulate your own painting level and flow in the early stage. When you have accumulated to a certain extent, you can start to consider starting classes. Common ones are live courses (high income), recording and broadcasting courses (continuous income), and punching activities. Common platforms include cctalk, Qianchao, Netease Cloud Classroom, Tiger Class Network, Blue Pencil, etc.
6. Participate in competitions
Stand Cool, UI China, vision china and Graffiti Kingdom. These websites often publish many competitions related to illustrations. Make money dry goods | Illustrator, please check the 8 ways in 222. Many painters are very confused. At the end of 221, I received a lot of consultations. Many painters are very confused about their future, that is, "Painting, what can you do when you are done?" This matter is rather awkward. There was a lot of finishing work at the end of last year, and this can't be finished in one sentence or two. I just wrote an article, which will be more comprehensive and let more confused people see it. Even if many people learn painting, they always feel that they can't touch the doorway. Where should we go? Learning to draw, while adults love it, many of them do it with a good career expectation. Adults are not children, they still need a certain economic ability and have the burden of life on their shoulders. It is not shameful for a person to be in awe of painting and have the expectation and action to "develop painting into a career". Whatever the level, don't laugh at her. Many people talk about realizing, and think it will defile "art". And my point of view is: painting can awe the depth that it can continuously explore. But this matter can be the demand of the public, just like the salt in life, adding a flavor to the ordinary life of thousands of people in Qian Qian. In this era, making money will make gold shine; If you don't make money, gold will be dusty. (This article was first published in the Palace of the Same Name ~ Zongzi ~) Liquidation is actually about selling goods, and at the same time, selling things to people in need, delivering them well and living up to their trust. The same is true of painting realization, that's all. Shouting, boldly selling yourself. There are many people who spend a lot more time than hobbies because of their blind pursuit of love, but their real life is not out of balance because of this income. Some readers talked to me: "I have been addicted to love for many years, but I haven't earned a penny. I only have the word" poor love "in my heart. I can't see the road ahead clearly. Is it persistence or abandonment?" The view of realizing the painter has always been extremely divided. Some people actually want to make money, knowing that they have a foundation, even a good foundation. But I am very afraid to take that step, afraid that others will say that I am utilitarian, so I can only silently dispel the idea of making money. But if she doesn't make money and continues to make money, she will become more and more anxious. What will anxiety lead to? Depression and consumption! Constantly buying classes and constantly hoarding painting skills courses, but because she has no time to study and still can't realize it, she will always think that she can't! After thinking that she can't do it, she needs to buy painting classes again, just like smoking spiritual opium. Once she stops, she will feel extremely anxious mentally and feel that she has made no progress. She will think that because she can't make money, it's all because she is not as good as others. Because you can't make money, it's not enough that you can do it yourself. Because I can't make money, all because I haven't studied enough. After reading this article, if you have some painting foundation, it is very likely that you will fall into such a whirlpool blind spot and cannot extricate yourself. Aside from everything, let's not talk about how to do it, but if you read this article carefully, it will definitely affect your understanding of painting and the goal of painting growth in 222. All painters, whether they want to enter the game or have a foundation, must know where the road of painting leads. Draw, draw, what can this thing be used for? How to make money? Combing the following 3+ words, there are many ways for illustrators to realize their cash, and there are eight ways to sort them out: 1_⒃ A few illustrators, whose profits depend on magazines, picture books and other publications. Another kind of cooperation object is mainly the draft of the brand side. Both of them attach importance to personal painting style and ability. Some illustrators have strong painting style compatibility and good skill level, which are both suitable for publications and can be blessed by brand cooperation. This kind is also a road that 99% illustrators yearn for. However, every year, a large number of painters trained by courses flow into the market again, forming a strong price involution. A painting could have cost 2, yuan, so the level requirement is relaxed, and even 1 yuan can find many people to paint. Can you blame the painter? Can't! They also want to survive. Supply exceeds demand in the market. It's like a house. In a good city, the supply of houses is in short supply, while in an ordinary town, it's hard to sell houses without many people. Only when you get to a high position can you get out of the paper, get a relatively stable income by relying on your reputation, long-term accumulated deep foundation and customer volume, and get one out of ten thousand by relying on the annual contribution of the manuscript. Under normal circumstances, the contract illustrator will earn about 3-1w a year. But as long as we persist long enough, keep exploring and keep the balance between painting style, commerce and art, there will be a better future. Many of my zero-based painting students have become illustrators from financial accounting, programmers, and administration, and have become many illustrators who are still famous. After earning money, I believe that they will try their best to do this. Many zero-based painting students will care about whether they can become contract illustrators. My answer is that as long as you love, improve your skills, and then operate well, it will be realized. But it will take time and resources to become a stable income contract illustrator. 2_ Doudou chats with friends who pay for knowledge. Everyone feels that after paying for knowledge, many income channels will be disdainful. Because the income from contract writing is too low and it is easy to change, many times I would rather draw what I like, rest and do something I like. It is true that the ceiling will be higher to pay for knowledge. My students earn more than 1, yuan in less than three months from the start to the course recruitment, and there is still a month of 3w+. Because as long as you have skills, and then have some business thinking and operational ability, the relative income ceiling is higher. It takes one time to sell to many people at the same time. And the paintings can continue to be sold for commercial copyright. Everyone knows that paying for knowledge is the dividend given to intellectuals by this era. But many people don't have the courage to do it. In fact, there is a psychological barrier to paying for knowledge, that is, from students to teachers. Many times, I feel unworthy in my heart and I am afraid that others will feel unworthy. Suggestion: _ _ Coal and manganese are sent to China _ _ Send them back to China _ _ Send them back to China _ _ Send them back to China _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Many people say that the draft contract is highly competitive, and so is the knowledge payment. However, have you noticed that at this time, I haven't heard the painter say what is not competitive. There is no competition. Generally, there is a moat built with time and fame. This is no competition. Because the newcomers can't compete. The competitiveness of the draft is very great, and a large part of the reason is that there are more monks than meat. Resources are also inclined to which part of a small number of illustrators, and many of them can't make an appointment. The remaining demand is digested in the involution of the market. And although this method is very quiet for years, waiting for the draft, but it is also relatively passive. Knowledge pays, relatively speaking, to obtain global students without limitation of regions. Yes, around the world, many Chinese abroad will also choose to pay for their studies at home. My painting students are from more than ten countries, such as Britain, America, France, Switzerland, Australia and Canada (I won't take a new painting course in 222). In comparison, this kind of competition is not worth mentioning. 3_ Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid, Squid There is still this way to go. I have a private teacher who is doing online and offline children's aesthetic education &; Customer, a small and beautiful personal workshop offline, can receive 2w+ revenue in the first few days of the year. There are also painting students who quit their jobs that they don't like, and then went to work in an aesthetic education institution that teaches children to paint, and reported good news to me, and the income was better. So, don't limit yourself. The human heart is the biggest cage. Draw, draw well, there are quite a few things that can really be done. 4_ 乁乁乁乁乁乁 has higher requirements for the illustrator's artistic presentation ability, and the ability to tell stories on the screen is very important. Picture books are more difficult than tutorial books and picture books. Previously, the publishing house invited me to publish the book "Give you a big hug" in the form of royalties. Personal paintings are appreciated with tutorials, and generally the second book will be considered as a picture book. The first book of a wild illustrator usually asks you to give a tutorial. Some people will print personal picture books in private (pay for their own samples, keep them as souvenirs, and compare feelings. ). Picture books need deeper precipitation. Students like the Central Academy of Fine Arts do this. First, there are top tutors to guide them. Second, the state advocates top and high-quality publishing houses to support them; _ Holding _ Sticking R is not enough. However, as an illustrator from other places, is it possible to make a picture book? Yes! It's just more difficult. What's the difficulty? _ _ The balance between the artistic aesthetics of the works and the business _ _ It is difficult to touch the picture book resources _ _ You may not know where to touch the works _ _ If you are an independent picture book, you lack the ability to write stories. Some people say that you earn rice by picture books, and it is very profitable. This is actually a champion, and the champion level really earns. If it takes 1-2 years to publish a picture book (the picture book polishing cycle is long) and it doesn't sell much, it means that it won't earn and it is still very poor. Those who can set up bestsellers and earn money by lying on books are not ordinary people. But there is no guarantee that you are not. While seeing the situation clearly, we should also encourage ourselves and keep looking forward to the future. 5_P The illustrator has a role Ip, or a story IP. For example, a few meters of picture book story IP can be made into a film, and another illustrator's role IP can be authorized to make different commercial products for sale. The more famous the author is, the more valuable the IP is, and the benefits are considerable. 6 _ [6] Laziness [2] The aesthetic appreciation of slope is an intangible asset. You can develop your own brand products, or you can sell paintings around. 7_ When the traffic of Yuejiao fans reaches a certain amount, some brands will advertise, and the advertising fee is very considerable. I have received advertisements from different brands such as Huawei tablet computer, cute tooth electric toothbrush, and German Sminker watercolor paint. However, the real advertising expenses with deep precipitation and strong self-media are very considerable. 8_ It's like drinking beer. After a while, the brand will invite illustrators with good personal brands to participate in brand activities, and one of my personal education partners will be invited to participate in Intel product salon activities, with an appearance fee of 6, yuan for half an hour. In the future, the greater the influence, the higher. Last year, I received an invitation from a tea brand to participate in brand activities. In Shanghai, I was too busy to travel, so I didn't go. For example, Mercedes-Benz, some _V, Gucci_ Return to Magpie for Caring, and Raven Ranxia, which have higher appearance fees, need to settle out for a long time, or do outstanding and famous self-media operations. It is not enough to write in the back, just draw well, because more people need to see your personal brand. Commercial operation is essential for the development of individual illustrators.
