>>3095I feel like these are less tips and more general statements about making money with art. I hope more anons weigh in because I like discussing the comm meta.
Staying knowledgeable about FOTM media and the characters/ships therein is free eyes/traffic. Don't give a shit about Genshin? Suck it up! Invest in Kaeyacoin.
It might surprise you that m/m comms are also bought by cis men and are often more pornographic than what a fujo artist might expect (Tom of Finland versus two naked anime twinks kissing). Because fujos often eat "for free" or make their own food, it's actually kind of rare to get paid to draw something close to what I'd draw for fun. I guess what I'm trying to say here is show you can draw muscles at your own peril.
Upcycle warm-up sketches into cheap YCH ("your character here") comms.
Set your expectations low. Objective quality doesn't directly translate into living wages off of comms. It's all luck and how much of your soul you want to sell to cumbrains. Speaking of:
Consider learning anthro style on the side because furries are way more generous with their money than weebs, especially the gay ones. Animal dicks (knotting specifically) are also popular in "normal" (lmao) porn.
Combine FOTM knowledge with anime girl body types for even more free traffic.
Combine anime girl body types with your mastery of cocks for futa comms.
Showcase your niche kinks to imply comfort with kinkier comms (from white bread aisles to shitting dick nipples).
