6 Ways I Make Money as an Illustrator
Put your creative mind to good use and be flexible with the ways in which you make money! As an illustrator, I have counted six different ways I earn a living – and I’m sure there will be many more in future. Freelancing can be unpredictable, so having a few more strings to your bow is really helpful, to keep your income stable.
I realised I forgot to include Patreon in this list, it falls under content creation for me. Patreon is a great way to support indie creators, to enable them to keep making the content you enjoy.

How do you price your work?
You are so beautiful. You are my crush on YouTube
Fuck! She looks like my girlfriend!
Well…it depends with how much responsibilities you have. If you havr family to look after, children etc…believe me freelancing is not always a good option, it is better to get a solid job as back up. Freelance is good when you are alone but when you have ppl you are looking after, it will be very challenging. Very challenging.
Waiting for payment is stressful, as artist, we are not good when it comes to admnistration or accounting, reason why if you can, you can have someone to follow up with your pending payments, because once you are affected mentally as an artist you cannot perform well. We are creative but we not well organized in term or admnistration, but when you are self employed, meaing you need to learn admnistration as well, because you are on your own.
Hi Holly, I am thankful for this video. It's just right and to the point. I learned a lot and how to actually start illustrating. God bless. Love ya
Dear Holly, do you have any advice for beginners to find out in which illustration areas can our style fit or how to create a niche for ourselves? I would like to work for book covers and illustration and editorial illustrations, but I am not sure how and where my style can fit, have a lovely day and thank you for your great content 🙂
