As a creative, you have so many options for making money online! Today I want to discuss just a couple of those options; specifically, I'm talking about a few ways to make passive income by uploading artwork or pdf files/patterns. This is a great way to generate some cash because you upload once (generally), then can make multiple sales without having to worry about creating or shipping a product, because the platform you use will do all that for you. There are pros and cons with each method, so be sure to have a listen!Links to things I mention in the show...Spoonflower: create your own fabric designs to buy and sellhttps://spoonflower.comRedbubble: set up a free shop where you can print your art on quality wall decor, shirts, mugs, stickers, and more:https://redbubble.comMy preferred site for selling pdf patterns:https://etsy.comThis episode is not sponsored by any of the above sites, I'm just hoping to share my own knowledge and experience with them!- - - Let's get in touch!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moth_and_rustFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mothandrusthandmadeCheck out my tutorial videos at https://www.youtube.com/c/mothandrustdiyIf you're interested in supporting the show, please check out my Etsy shop where you can find handmade accessories, clothing, patterns, art, and more:https://mothandrusthandmade.etsy.comYou can also shop my original fabric prints and more here:https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/mothandrust
