I'm not going to post my work after sharing specific finances.

>what kind of skill level are you at?
I agree with the thoughts shared by this poster >>3586210 - the notion of 'skill levels' in art is absolutely ludicrous. It's not a video game. You don't get to 'level 40 art skills' and then the jobs start flowing in. To suggest otherwise undermines the way the world of art works, where success is not about making the BEST work, but the RIGHT work and - just as importantly - showing it to the RIGHT people. You do not have to be an extremely skilled artist to make a living as an artist. A mediocre artist who bothers to embrace the entrepreneurial nature of being an independent artist will find much more success than a skilled artist who does nothing to bring in business.

Here's what I do: I have a text document with a bunch of tag phrases ready to go. Here they are:

keyword, keyword shirt, keyword t shirt, keyword tshirt, keyword sweater, keyword hoodie, keyword coffee mug, keyword poster, keyword print, keyword art print, keyword sticker, keyword stickers, cool keyword shirt, funny keyword shirt, keyword phone case, keyword case, keyword designs,

I then use ctrl+F to 'Find & Replace' the word 'Keyword' with the niche / keyword thats most relevant to the design. There's 17 here, and I do that twice. That's 34 tags ready to go. I then fill out the rest with a few more relevant keywords. It's really quick to do.
