Help me get started?
5 years ago
Hi. So. Basically, I would like to start doing commissions for small bits of money. I don't have a clue as to where to start. I'd try PayPal but I don't know what I'm doing. Does anyone have any friendly advice or words of wisdom to help get me on my feet?
(I have a paypal but no idea how it works or what to be doing with it... If anyone could shed some light on the subject of PayPal and commissions that would be great!)
In example:
* What apps do you suggest I use and why?
* Any advice on how to go about setting them up would be appreciated.
* Also I need to know whether a debit is hard required or not.
* Personally I'd not like to link a debit or bank account but rather hoard money on an app and shop online... Is that possible or am I confused?
* I would prefer to use the app for sites such as Wish, Etsy and metaphysical stores online. And Dunkin. X)
Thanks so much, and any advice or feedback is welcome!

Making Terms of Service is pretty important too, in case there's complicated customers. That's for if they keep changing the drawing subject or if they change details after or any of sorts. Also that's a good place to store what you're willing to draw and what are off limits.
PayPal works pretty well as a payment method in the online, since you can use it pretty much everywhere. I don't think a debit card is necessarily required, but after some threshold (I think gaining ~2k$/year) will require you to add the details.
Looking at your prices, you might wanna look into Ko-Fi, which is a service that connects to your PayPal. It's like a tipping service, and you could sell busts for 2 Ko-Fis (6$ - with PayPal fees off it's like 5$, whereas paying through PayPal entirely would cost about 7$ for the commissioner).
