ETSY SELLING TIP # 12

Produce “Modern Art” in 3 Minutes :  Good Profit Margin

We all know that most of the “Modern Art” or “Abstract Art” that we see on sale on Etsy is produced in a really short amount of time.  Those artists make a great profit from their art, since it only takes a few minutes to produce the artwork !   They are brilliant !

So, I have a new business plan.  You can work for me as an artist on my Modern Art Etsy site.   I’ll pay you 50% of the sales revenue.

This Etsy Tip will require some math…so bear with me.  If you spend 3 minutes producing a “Modern Art” piece, that means you can do 20 works of art in one hour.  But let’s be conservative since we are not a Sweat Shop – I will allow you a 2 minute break for the bathroom every hour and a 90 second break for a coffee and a smoke every 11 minutes since I will be working you so hard that you will need that caffeine and nicotine boost just to keep you going through the day.    So anyway, we will assume you can easily produce 10 pieces of Modern Art per hour.

Holy Smoke !   In just 3 hours you can produce 30 units of Modern Art that I can post up on my Etsy shop and sell for $40 each.    That’s $1200 per day… $6000 per week… $300,000 per year.   You get half of that!   Of course I get half and I plan to employ 12 people just like you.  That is a nice salary when you work for my Sweat… I mean my Etsy Shop.  I’ll allow you 2 hours for packing and shipping of the artwork.   That is only a 5 hour work day !

  The rest of the day, you can spend time cleaning my house, washing my car, waxing my dog, massaging my house plants with sun tan oil, scrubbing the barnacles off of my 80 foot yacht, and other useful things that I can think of.
