Episode 50: 7 Ways Creatives Turn Doodles Into Income
Kyle Young sold over $1,000 in products at a church craft fair in just three hours, and she'd only recently started exploring surface pattern design. In this episode, I walk you through seven real ways creative women are earning income from their simple doodles, featuring nine students from my community who are doing it right now. Whether you're drawn to print-on-demand, licensing, craft fairs, teaching, or something you haven't even considered yet, this episode will show you what's possible.
🔑 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
The 7 income paths available to surface pattern designers (and why most women combine more than one)
How Debby McLaughlin went from software project manager to licensed designer with The Textile District
Why your imperfect, hand-drawn style is exactly what buyers are looking for right now
The subscription and commission models that most creatives overlook, and shouldn't
What all 7 paths have in common (hint: they all start with one simple doodle)
