Man, I went crazy on the Marketplace. I'd get absolutely hundreds of low-balled items a day, easy! And just sit on them, like a dragon on his hoard.

@Avocado: Lmao same tho. And recently, that crap is CRAZY. Something that's affordable in the morning will have skyrocketed to absurdly expensive by evening, and if you play it right, you can make a pretty penny that way.

@Avocado: A pet shop? Hmm not really tbh there's a lot of ground I need to know more about this site, like crates and stuff (I'm learning them atm) Good thng there's guide of the monthly existing crates already and I check some forums that older users who are willing to sell them. I'll prob be more open on posting my art atm.

@rosehip: Yep definitely but you know there's no need to rush maybe along the line I'll open an artshop who knows xD
Plus my priority rn is to earn a lot of volts as possible, is good that bump threads is a thing owo

@PurpdaBurpPurp: I'm still trying to get my pricing straightened out tho. Not everybody is gonna wanna pay in items, so I need regular currency prices too.

@rosehip: I see I usually lurk on other art shops and see how they do it to give me insight (ugh this sound bad >.<')
I suggest to make a bump thread on Undercurrent too, it maybe repetitive but it will help a lot also. So far I heard you get 10 volts per post only to my experience, you post an emoji with two characters.

@PurpdaBurpPurp: Nah, I totally get inspiration from other shops too lmao. I'm looking around like "is there some kinda status quo I gotta stick to?? and social faux pas I should avoid??" and just generally suuuper overthink the whole thing lmao

Generally, I like to price things based on the donation currency, and translate that for the going price of site currency. So, for example, an hour's worth of work should be your minimum charge, and that comes to $7.25 where I live, and Ohms are worth about 1c each. So it'd be worth at minimum 725 Ohms. Translating that into Volts, which seem to be roughly 20:1, and you have a charge of 1,450 Volts base price.

Translating that further into time spent onsite, it'd be worth 29 posts.

@rosehip: That's very relatable xD
I also felt like digital art in general are also high in demand rather than thetraditional (which I usually do)
But that was on gaia idk about here yet. Which btw do you do digital or traditional for your art? Or maybe both?

@rosehip: Awe :(
Yeah art slumps are the worst to get over. I usually do art challenges or contest around that time.

@rosehip: I do the same thing too!
And on gaia if I've done a really good job of drawing their avis, I'll dm a pic of it to them and they'll never expected it xD
Their reactions and replies are always good

Maybe I should do the same thing here too :viosmirk:
