Hi all. Decided I wanted the skills to open my own business. I'm very created as well. So, I wanted to learn how to incorporate this in my business venture.

So I’ve decided to give making prints a good go as I would like a side income. I’ve made my Etsy, so far have about 50 listings and another 25 or so to add. I’m not going with a niche just making what I like. Would love any feedback, still yet to have anyone visit my shop but it is very early days. https://ohthatsink.etsy.com

Recently joined and have been playing on Midjourney this afternoon. I wanted to ask, as I see you should post loads to get any sort of traction, would it be ok if I turned my personal photos into posters? I am looking at the wild/sea swimming, camping, waterfalls, NE beauty spots, nature (mushrooms etc).. to start. I knocked these 2 up today (midjourney then canva), based on my own images. Is this a bad idea? I am a total newbie so please don't be too harsh 🤣 Just need to know if I want to achieve is viable, really. ie the process. I currently don't have 1000 images but I could get snapping away. I know I will get better over time. Thank you 😊

Hi all - been lurking in the background of this forum for a few months and I've found it very helpful, so thank you to all that have contributed. I have set up a relatively new shop focussing on travel prints, which I find is very scalable and repeatable in terms of production workflow. Before I sink more hours into this, I would hugely value an expert eye or two to cast over my shop to ensure I'm on the right track / to give some helpful pointers. I currently have 35 products listed with another 70 or so in the backlog ready to go (currently drip feeding them in at a rate of 5 per day). Obviously its early days and the general advice is that number of listings scales with sales, but I'd welcome views on whether there is anything else I should be doing and whether you think my niche is commercial (particularly given Etsy can feel quite saturated at times!). Is it simply a case of pumping more out, or should I pivot / adapt my approach? Thank you in advance to anyone that can spare 2 mins to check out my shop, which can be found here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/PerfectPlacePrints
