Well, i think I have never listed all my online business in one place. Being an artist and affiliate marketer is rewarding for me. when I get bored with my affiliate marketing business, I work on my other small side hustle that I have.

Please note that I don’t work on these side hustles every single day. I work only when times allow me like once or twice a week. I pick only one platform at a time. I cannot do multi-tasking.. :)

Now some side hustles are long gone. I mean I don’t work on them anymore like low-content books on KDP. I got interested when I watched the Home Boss channel making $10k per month from the platform. I have a few low-content books there but.. I am not interested so left it.

So here are some I work regularly like Redbubble, Zazzle, and so on. Some I work once a month like Adobe Stock. I am listing here some that I haven’t touched for 6 months like KDP.

I like multiple side hustles but..

I know these are a lot for a newbie. But remember that I won’t advise you to go through it all at once. You can pick any two or three as per your needs.

As an artist, I like to be on many platforms and see if it suits my needs or not. I may try many side hustles but like to retain only a few.

My 10 Income Streams as An Artist

There are numerous marketplaces available for selling illustrations, photos, vector images, and low-content books. Some popular ones include:

1. Adobe Stock: I use this platform to sell photos and illustrations. Now I have started selling videos too but ZERO sales so far from it. Illustrations sell the most!

2. Shutterstock(my lowest-earner): A leading global marketplace for high-quality images, videos, and music.

3. Etsy: This is known for handmade and vintage items. However, I use this platform for selling my digital art, including illustrations and printables. The 4 mistakes to avoid on Etsy

4. Redbubble(one of my highest earners!): I really love love Redbubble! You can find more about my Redbubble here. I Have Three Redbubble Stores — My Honest Review

5. Fiverr: I used to do this 2 years back. Now I have completely stopped doing it because it was getting too much. I used Fiverr to sell t-shirt mockups!

6. Creative Market: I love this platform a lot. Have used this as a buyer and later as a seller as well. But not many sales from here. Have to promote my store more! I use this platform for selling my digital design content such as fonts, graphics, themes, and more.

7. Alamy(avoid if possible): A stock photography website for selling photos, illustrations, and videos.

8. iStock: A subsidiary of Getty Images, it’s a popular platform for selling stock photos, illustrations, and videos.

9. Zazzle(one of my highest earners!): I love personalized products. So this has to be on the top of my list! More about Zazzle business here. Sharing My Own Journey to Making My First $100 on Zazzle

10. Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)(avoid if possible): Ideal for self-publishing and selling low-content books, such as journals, planners, and coloring books. But I don’t do this anymore. if you like to design low-content books like fitness journals, and self-care journals then this is perfect for you.

My final thoughts

You won’t be able to do everything at once.

I won’t advise you to do so too!

I always stick with those platforms that I enjoy the most — Redbubble and Zazzle. This I do along with my affiliate marketing business.

I hope you like this article! Ask me any questions if you have!
