i'm on break rn so i cant stay to look at the answers but basically ^^^^^^ looking for any and all experiences (patreon, ko-fi, etsy, soc6, teespring, whatever else there is), tips, advice where and how you people who earn their living with art/creative things do it and how difficult it is/if it's worth it in your opinion; tips and financial advice are especially appreciated from citizens of germany;

i feel like the physically arduous work i've been doing til now is just something i'm not cut out for in the long run and finally switching to something i've always wanted to do is the right course of action, the only problem is i've basically no experience with it and i'm easily overwhelmed so i figured i'd ask for experiences here before i decide what to do.

thanks in advance! 🐾
(if you have any links to articles, guides or other stuff i'd appreciate those as well!)
