Here at Stylized Station, we are HUGE advocates of helping 3D and other digital artists empower themselves and creating streams of income outside of their 9-5 job to help them regain control of their lives. So today, we decided to put together a list of 10 simple passive income ideas for beginner digital artists to help them jump-start their journey to financial independence, with some pros and cons of each income idea.

No.11: Make passive income by making videos about making passive income
Yep! Well, technically that's already in the list under the ad revenue section
IncomeCeption 😳
You cracked the code, look up all the "financial" tutorials like drop shipping, crypto etc. It's a scam to sell tutorials, you won't make money that way. If you could then they wouldn't be telling other people how to do it.
passively hitting the '' thumbs up''

Soo in short:
• Selling courses (as a beginner...)
• Selling your art (3d prints)
• Selling your art (material packs)
• Selling your art (prints)
• Selling your art (asset packs)
• Selling your art (stock photo)
• Selling ads
• Selling ads (as an affiliate)
• Selling your art (NFTs)
• Selling ebooks
Thanks
saved me the trouble!
king
courses tend to be the fastest way up imao
Thank you.
I want to and will make this a reality.
Preach
I second this
thats the spirit
Go get em my man! I want the same for myself, see u out there 💪🏾💪🏾
Best of luck to you and everyone else !! 💕
Concerning 3D printing; look into marketing stuff for tabletop gamers. If you're making fantasy or sci-fi art there's a good chance you can use existing models as a starting point to make miniatures or terrain, and the number of buyers is pretty larger. There are people making six figures a year that way.
I know a guy at my old job who was making a killing doing this 😭
Can you elaborate it abit more? I'm interested in this but a bit confused on the existing models part .. wouldnt that be iffy with tabletop game creators per say legally? Or are we talking said creators commissioning the 3d printer artist.
@@XonixDerps The first bit of the sentence of "If you're making fantasy or sci-fi art there's a good chance you can use existing models as a starting point to make miniatures or terrain".
I think instead of taking already existing models others have made, and making minatures. I think he meant like, taking assets you have already made for say an environment art practice piece, and chopping them up for use as mini's. Basically reusing things you are already making in another place to save on time and effort.
@@ajallen212 Ahhh thank you, Ill try that!
I recently discovered Titan-Forge and these guys from Poland really figured it out. Listen: for 10 bucks/month they'll give you about 10 high-quality character models and like 40 terrain pieces, new every month. Sounds like a fine deal and 7597 others think so as well. That means, for this 5-man workload they get 75 970 USD per month (-taxes, fees, etc. of course). Amazing. Having this kind of money in Poland while doing your dream job is just unbelievable.
Tip 11: Sell stock footage made in 3D
Im an architect but you're making me going to 3d design mora and more, love your videos
That ad revenue is nice; it's small when you're starting out at my size (but not as small as I thought it would be) but it has big potential to grow. 3d models are also nice, I get very little from this but intend to build it more as I grow that following on other platforms.
Love and Appreciate videos like these!
None of these sound like they're good for BEGINNER 3D artists.
Correct. I hope someone buys my 10 second course where I show how to bevel and emboss a letter in Photoshop.
and who knew..? passive includes so.much.active?
2-7 seems possible for a beginner to do. Obviously it means that the beginner has to be able to create something because you can't make money off of nothing.
@@lockiabel5559 not a beginner. Are you so sure that anyone would be willing to buy a product or service from a beginner artist that is learning the ropes? Maybe an intermediate artist that has the skill to make good stuff and the humble personality to not overprice their work.
@@lockiabel5559 who can tell if they can make something worth selling or not if they are a beginner.
Thank you so much for this! It was really helpful!
Yeah. Optimising all ready model for 3d printing is a whole new skill to master. People don't realise how clean and fixed the model needs to be. Just remember the Simpsons scene when homer uses clips to make him look skinny. Well skinny Homer is an unoptimised mesh, and Marge is the slicer. 🤣
Don't forget homer's 3 extra speedos in Brazil! 🤣
@@LeighWilliamson yep! Those are floating planes inside the mesh! 🤣
Me Booleaning intensify
Especially optimize for FDM printing it a PAIN
Here I am watching this video and then the turntable of my 3d cassowary appears ahahahah, so good. Thanks for including it in the vid!
Great video.
Inspirational and motivational.
Thanks!
Excellent video - this is super helpful, thanks
Great video and great content! Big thumbs up!
Great content, thank you for the education ❤️✌️
Thanks bro 🎉🎉 I think it could change my life journey from now
I know the majority of things you named off I can can tell you know what your talking about, well done. Got me thinking about creating a Ebook 🤙 thanks for that
Bro you are so cool, thank you for this.
Ngl, I was half expecting you to announce a course on marketing by the end hahah
Excellent, thank you.
Currently drawing for fun and learning Blender, it's similar to Maya and 3DS Max which I used back in college. Sadly learning how to do game art and getting a degree meant nothing, but I still enjoy what I learned just a hobby during free time. Hope to benefit from your videos someday when I model and draw better.
Hi, so you are saying that you have a degree on game dev but it haven't helped since you got it?
Is just an associates degree in Computer Science Multimedia. There were no none super expensive colleges that taught game dev where I live. I checked education and learning Game Dev is insanely expensive, I even met some people who tried them, graduated but no luck seeking work and forever in debt.
@@KitzuArt Damn, that's rough, If you wanna collab some time in something I can be your guy, I'm still in college but here is some of my work instagram.com/keineken_arts
@@keineken_3281 Seems like you're doing better lessons than what I was taught in college. Gave you a follow. I guess Blender is the main program being taught in schools now besides Maya and 3DS Max. Blender feels the same way as both, so far I'm just modeling and shading, still getting familiar with tools and honing my skills.
This fucking comment is literally a mirror of my current life word for word
Thank you amazing list

From what I see on the sneak peak you've posted, your course look very complete and in-depth. It's not always easy to find quality tutorial for making stylized art in UE4 so i bet it will be more than well received by the whole community. I hardly can wait to see that ! :D
hey who is the artist that made that girl with the lighter in 0:07?
www.artstation.com/c_j
Can't wait to buy the bundle! XD!
Is the price free 😂
Joking but yeah I need to use these tuts to make some money so i can buy tutorials
It's jaw dropping.
Great Video!!!
I made a yt tutorial a while ago and it got 5k views, helped quite a lot of people, I'll go that route, if it works keep doing it, its also a way build a fan base I belive to be the best one too.
thanks, good quality
Maybe he should list the 3D artist he features in the video in the description box. I wanted to find CJ just by his name, but I can't bring up anything on Google... Maybe link their primary social media accounts next to their name in the description box.
Thanks ❤️
7:16 THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!
Nice tips, just what I have un mind :D
thanks alot!!
these videos are starting to seem a eerily similar to inspiration tuts
thanks for your share....
hi! i'm a subscriber to your texturing course and this new series is very interesting to me. great work hope to see more!
Yes.
Alhamdullillah for this wonderful video! watched it on 7 December 2023. I'm truly grateful to have come across your content today. i enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I hope it fires inspiration within me to keep growing. May God bless you. Terima kasih
Great video
I love Ideas 5,6, and 10. I can get around with it. My only question is that on idea #5 there is no difference to make ether a low or high poly asset pack as long as its updated sometimes, if my question Interpellation right ?
i think he said don't make low poly trees, because there are lots of ppl already selling those. So it's not really about low vs high poly. It's about standing out from the mass, but also at the same time, offering packs that are in actually in demand. BY FAR, the best thing to do is, straight up ask ppl who make games, what they need.
I for example will probably always need interior furniture assets like chairs, tables, etc. but also things like windows or doors, which are indeed a bit more complex, since doors should be able to open in-game. stuff like that! 😁 and of course making a pack modular will be the BEST selling point as it makes it super easy to prototype or just really build good looking levels super fast.
@@YVZSTUDIOS Thanks for the advise
Long time CZcamsr here for 15+ years with 1100 subs as of this year.
It's the least rewarding, least thankful thing you can ever do.
Especially when CZcams continually punishes small YT'bers.
@2:52 ...sigh.. That's something only a person with no experience in 3D printing could say. Maan, there are so many limits and things you have to consider when designing an object which will be 3D printed. What technology are you going to use, what material, what supports will be required, are there any overhangs, gaps, holes? Will the object be bent, squeezed, exposed to extreme temperatures? Will the item be used with food or chemicals? Like... the possibilities are endless when it comes to what can go wrong. ;)
Edit: typos and missing words
yeah, but those will go wrong for the consumer not the artist lol
the artist only promised a printable model, not an all-purposes, ready-for-anything marvel, which is true for the majority of printable models you find online.
Phil D's comment is legendary
The best time to start this was yesterday, and the second best time is today.
I am trying to get into selling buttons with my own art sound fun so I trying it out
Ironic that this video in itself is just an ad for a course you made, with the incentive it will allow us to sell a course.
NFTs do some serious damage to the environment and are fairly predatory as they are now so I have to disagree with that one being a good option generally, but this list is still super helpful so thank you!
If you use twitter, instagram, youtube, facebook, tiktok, amazon, netflix, etc, then I would consider checking how much power do those use and then talk about how impactful the NFTs are.
@@MonsterHobbieShow Gotcha, about one hour of netflix usage comes in at about 36 grams of C02 emissions. Whereas a single sale on average of Ethereum blockchain NFT is approximately 20,000 grams of C02- with many sales a minute, an hour, a day.
@@n.lwhitaker572 Aren't you something?, let me enlighten you a bit.
ALL platforms use massive amounts of servers that are turned on 24/7 just so someone like you can watch that hour of netflix, the content in those servers is not something the server loads only at the time YOU watch it, instead the content is kept loaded and ready to use at all times consuming power whenever someone watches it or not and most of the times they use RAID or RAID like systems for storage, which means each file is saved in multiple copies in any number of hard drives to avoid corrupt files, destroyed data, to speed up transfers, etc.
On top of that to keep those massive servers running they need loads and loads of cooling, so they have huge cooling systems that consume tons of energy.
Just look for "Inside a Google data center" here in youtube and see how that works.
@@MonsterHobbieShow Fella, fella, fella initial estimates from statista pegs googles data centers at 12.7 terawatt hours, and ethereum at 44.49 terawatt hours in a single year.
@@n.lwhitaker572 A couple of things, Ethereum is one thing, NFTs are another, you can't put the 100% of the power consumption problem from the ethereum chain as being the NFTs, also NFTs can be created using FLOW which is a different blockchain.
Have you checked the power consumption of TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest and Snapchat?, problem is everything has a huge environmental footprint and most people don't care specially when they use those constantly so it's quite hypocritical to point fingers at NFTs in shock while using several other useless apps that use the same or even more power.
It Is all worth it I promised you *instantly cuts to three ads*
0:07 NICE
Can you do an asset pack tutorial?
Nfts also are bothersome because of copyright issues. Especially those selling reskinned/retouched models
About 3D printing, how does trademark/licences works ?
I'm thinkiing about Disney or Pokémon, for example ? What happen if they want to destroy you >?
Tips are good but goddamn i wont lie that the editing in here is the same that is used by scammers and pyramid ideas
what about digital service to create assets, such as fiveer etc?
Also, if you're going to write an eBook and put it on amazon, don't forget to take the time to research what a good book cover should look like. It will greatly impact your revenue. (trust me, I learned the hard way. lol)
what was your bad cover and what was the better cover and/or lesson learned?
@@michaelwerkov3438 my bad cover had a solid background color, and a single picture that had very little editing. there wasn't much to draw the eye. The font I used at the time was fine, but a little bland.
I kept the same look for the second book, but new series I spent a lot more time. built it up layer by layer. textured background (smoky), added extra lines to the font to make it stand out more, added borders, edited the photo and picked one that really drew the eye. I made the photo of the person and the title stand out the most by using lighter contrast on both.
I also researched covers of that genre, not to copy them, but to see what made me want to pick up the book the most. Then kept that in mind while making the new cover.
Passive income idea 11 Selling random stock footage to Stylized Station
Tengkyu
The NFT advice also applies for many other ideas you gave, better avoid it. Thanks for this video!
when did this channel start focusing on get rich quick schemes
selling works as NFT's still works? I remember the first wave when everyone was crazy about it but no idea if right now it could be an idea for income. Excellent video, thanks for the ideas!
It hasn't been for the past year. This video is two years old. NFT's are obsolete.
😍😀🌞😍😀🌞😍😀Great info! I really love this type of sharing! I always learn something! Much appreciated form your subbie and like 314~
You can also make a patreon making uh... weird furry art.
Not entirely passive, but guaranteed livable wage.
How about selling CGI 3D models CG Trader or similar?
"Make a course, print, pack etc. and it will sell in perpetuity without any effort... besides marketing." ...marketing... a full-time job that people have.
TBH this is the common "if you build it they will come" fallacy. He has decent ideas but test the market before investing all your time in these projects. As he said these markets are saturated to if you don't bring something unique AND VALUABLE nothing will come of it. Speaking from experience. They can be good advice or a get-rich-quick scheme depending on how it's executed. When starting out you may be better off working for a company that will pay you for your work, than spend weekends on this.
This literally brought tears to my eyes. I will make this a reality, watch out world.
(Im going to be the pirate king! XD XD XD)
Sounds great! Just remember it might not be very easy, because at first you may face problem with making few dollars per month..
Hey i recognize that sculpt at 0:40 lol
@ 0:22 nice.
Remember another man’s trash is another man’s treasure, if you took the time to make a piece of art you disliked, don’t delete it, tear it into parts and sell say the textures, models, hdri even for like $1-15 a pop, keep it cheap but I’d also add giving free stuff so people can find you, go on all platforms. Not everyone has a $100 but they could have $15, remember I’m talking about what you think is “trash”
Anyone know who made the model at 0:7 ? I know it says "CJ" but when
I look that up all I get are pictures of the protagonist from GTA San Andreas :/
Also no luck looking on Artstation...

@@StylizedStation That underscore is what tricked me!
can yall try a little harder in writing the names of the artists properly? when i tried looking one or two up the names were spelled wrong or i couldnt find them
You can make a video abouth how made 3D with a low end Pc?
MoI 3d :-)
Great ideas. Just jump NFT in12:26
Man amount of Raid gettin free ads is Funny af
Очень круто
environmental impact for nft??? what about printing?
👍👍👍👍👍
In these 10 ideas. Which one or two are you honestly more focused into with your every day lifestyle?
We have our own priorities each day, no cap. what's yours
can you still make money with materials now the substance sampler is out
Substance sampler is just alchemist with a new name. You still have to put in the time to make the material and packs made in designer usually have sliders so you can change each material to make different variations. I think its definitely still viable
Can you use free 3d assets to make an scene then sell it all as the single image? Not selling the models but the single render of the 3d scene ?
I'd say no, not LEGALLY without giving credit... I personally WOULD do it (use it without credit), I'd just be VERY careful that I've textured/altered over the singles so that I'd be able to argue that I 'created' the finished art because they've been modified enough.
I'm sure all these artists love, and are aware, of you using their images/videos for your monetized video.
Well the fact that he credits them all is already doing much more than 99% of the internet. It also indicates that he knows who they are and have contacted them...
its hilarious when u said 9 to 5 jobs of 3d Artists 😂😂
That Etsy shop selling common IP related products from franchises like marvel and star wars is breaking the law and will be shit down in time
actual video of editor at work 😂😂lol
Please do ASMR videos, thank you.
bruh
For real though, this was a really helpful video for re-evaluating my skills and what I could possibly market towards others!
Lmao
*skips game asset pack ad to watch video*
3:30 im feeling some second hand embarrassment from white shirt guy
with blender, and free or cheap audio soft/hardware it's like ... wait why do i need money tho. I'm doing the things i want to do. loudness wars and ultra clean mixes are basically a marketing ploy and a big dik competition
Do some marketing. It is like saying "you only need to sell a million dollars". I have been collaborating with a youtube channel making a course on how to play a very popular tabletop game. It is set to start monetizing in 20 years. The reason? Less than 5% of people's views are in educational stuff. And 5% is a very optimistic number. People prefer to be entertained. The marketing of attention is not what you may believe it is. It will be passive income in 20 years in a channel that has followed every honest SEO advice available.
No.1 Make course, as a beginner. Say what?
the thumbnail: passive aggressive income
The tumbnail is extrodinary
No. 12: make NSFW animations as its in high demand.
Wait wat!?... what am i saying... pls don't listen to me I'm crazy.
dirty jokes aside.. the video is actually super important.. loved it..
all i need to do now is improve my English as nativeness is not in my blood.
nahui stockphotos
Ok, so I just need thousands of dollars of equipment, learn 2 years 3D art, learn Marketing which is a college major, video editing, and then have a miracle of making money on my content and spend 12 hours a day to do it all? WOW THAT SOUNDS SO PASSIVE.
It sounds like you don’t know what passive income means, It does not mean you do not have to put effort and investment into it. It just means that once you work hard on something you can sell it to get a somewhat constant revenue from it.
A course on how to make a course lol
>selling courses
>as a beginner
Are you insane? Do you know what beginner even means?
passive lol? passive-aggressive maybe lol however, anything BUT passive lol
Good video, but no way these are gonna work for begginers 3d artists, maybe one or two but not all 10.
What?
The nft thing aged horribly lmao
