Being a full time artist part 2

Donations/Support on my Ko-Fi / Shop Atelier Sweetsushi / Site š www.sweetsushi.nl ā commission[at]sweetsushi.nl
Well for ppl who are interested I wrote a journal here http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4272457/ about me wanting to be a full time artist.
My first goal is to reach 5 commissions a month.
23 days have been past since I made that goal and I already have finished 8 commissions and they still keep coming in.
If I can manage to keep this up and still have over 5 commissions in March I will totally talk with my boss about taking a free on saturdays. My contract should be extended in May, so I could just change my contract at that moment or maybe even earlier if I can. Cause atm I work more hours then my contract saying.
At the same time Im actually also looking for another job, since im pretty sick of my current one. I will not going al bablabal about it, conclusion is finding another job and be more happy and work more hours on a normal midweek so no weekends and earn more money. Cause we need to save money for moving. We wanna buy a house and start our future together <3
Wish me luck ^__^

Having a set amount of commissions a month is a good tracking goal to see where you are at! I think I've completed like 7 or 8 since I've started. I need to pick up the pace too! <3
The only thing what rlly strugle me is all the free owed art, it slows me down alot but im slowy cathing up and eventually I hope to get more commissions going. I set this goal so I can see where im at. I reached my first goal but thats just for one month So once I am convinced I made my goal in the next month I will setup a new goal.
Eventualy I would like to do 5 art com a week aka 20 a month,. But thats petty much out of my reach atm.
I dont know if your read my journals or whatever but im pretty much losing me job slowly
and im tryingto depend on my art as income but soo far its not working out well..
But good luck to you anyway it will be nice too see someone being sucessful
Also u should promote urself too, I would normaly dont advice this cause ur art is just amazing! But maybe to boost ur watchers u should do free requests, or art raffles. Just to spread ur art and make u known on the community. What also helps is streaming art! furrys/ppl like to talk and watch arts ^__^ just try to socialize with ur watchers <3
I did all these things before starting commissions. Maybe its bad advice but just something I did. and afer that I started commissions at rlly low prices, but u already passed that stage. And I also offer sales fro time to time which also boost ur commissions. One last advice is be active, try to upload art every day or at least a few times a week.
Maybe this journal helps too: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4343281/
Also if it helps, only its just a little bit I would like to commish a panty stocking style for Suu <3
I've been trying maybe i'll do another raffle or a doodle page for cheap
And its not bad advice obviuosly it got you somewhere
Thanks suu
and if you really want too
i dont want to make you feel bad into buying my art :<
Do you wanna note me the details of your commission?
