The most important thing is to set a fair price right from the start - a lot of people get scared of charging what they're worth and end up frustrated later. Beyond a simple website or Instagram, try selling in really specific communities (illustrator Discord servers, niche Facebook groups, Reddit) where people are actually looking for art and not just scrolling. A heads up: don't put everything on social media without any direct way for people to contact you, because algorithms change and you could lose everything. Having an email or even a WhatsApp Business where clients can reach you directly is really important for building relationships that don't depend on platforms.

Do you already have a follower base, or are you starting from scratch? Honestly, in 2026 the best approach is really to build your own presence - a simple website, direct Instagram, or even sell commissions in specific communities on Discord or art forums; the big platforms do eat into your margins, so getting away from them makes total sense if you can bring in clients organically.
