As you may know, I've been endeavoring to increase my income from being an artist to replace the income from yarn dyeing, and I'm pleased to say that it has been increasing! Between my Etsy shop, Artfully Walls, and Society6, I made over $1000 in April and May, an increase from February and March...thankfully. It also helps that I've gained more clients in my day job, as a rehab Pilates instructor at Studio Blue in Portland, Oregon.
APRIL
April was a good month for me for Artfully Walls, which was nice after such a dismal February and March; in April I made $77.38 from sales on there. Society6 was $38.50 from both the abstracts shop and the more botanical one. After fees and printing costs, Etsy brought in $477.96
Artfully Walls: $77.38
Society6: $38.50
Etsy: $477.96
Total: $593.84
MAY
May I only made $11.18 from sales on Artfully Walls. Society6 brought in $39.50, almost par with April, and after fees and printing costs, Etsy brought in $533.78.
Artfully Walls: $11.18
Society6: $39.50
Etsy: $533.78
Total: $573.28
Altogether, that makes $1167.12, which is $373.86 more than February and March combined. I'm pleased with that, because it means I am making forward progress in income from art sales. Unfortunately Society6 has pretty much tanked for me since then, so we'll see what happens in the next month and a half. Artfully Walls always feels like a little bit of a crapshoot to me.
It's slow going, and I do get a little panicky, but I'm so burnt out on yarn that I don't think I can even bring myself to dye the last of it, so I have no choice but to keep going forward!
