(This is also a ff7 yaoi thread, so I'm not wasting time):
Any of you make and sell yaoi? Any gay art in general? Looking for a "day in the life", tips, what do you use to make the art, where do you post your art and what payment process do you use? Things like that.

I'm hesitant to use Twitter, are there any better alternatives? Maybe Chinese or Russian social media? They complain less since its more niche in their society.

Also selling at anime cons, people aren't autistic and calling out yaoi artists as "feitishizing" are they?

Also keeping your name anonymous or under a pen-name, is it possible? I hear paypal goofs it up.

Why not just use patreon and Twitter then do commissions and have your own comic/projects? works for literally every other adult artist posted on here. Easier than making a physical book

There's Pixiv/Fanbox, Subscribestar and Ko-Fi since Patreon has proven itself to be increasingly censorship-happy, but Patreon should be okay for a while unless you're drawing shota or furry or something, I forget their exact TOS concerning 'anime art' but it's a strange one. For social media you're probably just going to have to bite the bullet and use Twitter and put up with the idiots there because no viable Tumblr replacement has popped up yet in three fucking years or stick to non-english sites like Pixiv and Pawoo.

Maybe but it's only a tiny percentage of psychos. I've heard of a few sperg vendors refusing to sell people certain keychains together (like Diluc and Kaeya from that Genshin Impact game or Shiro and Keith from netflix Voltron) out of fear that they're shipping them but if some tr00n yells at you or bothers you they'd probably just get kicked out and embarrass themselves horribly since 'anti' shit does not remotely fly IRL.

You can use a business name iirc but you have to be careful because PayPal technically doesn't allow NSFW content.

No experience in the area in particular. But...

The marketplace has changed considerably in the past years. Content creators have been having to innovate to get profit from their work. I think you will have to do the same with yaoi. I wouldn't find it unlikely for you to produce "free" content and make money most from merch sales or something. I guess my point here is: you gotta find a profitable business model, potentially different from everyone else's.

For instance, if you can make a proper - good - yaoi, you definitely could capitalize on marketing. Otherwise, you should brace yourself for having a hard life, at most publishing your stuff in Pixiv and doing commissions for pervs.

@thekao (Instagram) is publishing & selling his shit comic "magical boy" (trans something something). I think there's lot of room for improving yaoi in the west. If he can do it, I guess you can as well.

I've been really wanting to sell yaoi comics too but I can't figure out a viable way to make money without giving out my fucking SIN number. Gumroad is a good place to sell NSFW work, as they deposit directly to your bank, but they require your sin number to do this so I was too sketched out to sign up.
Only other option is to use a service like payhip, patreon, or itch.io that allows nsfw but processes payments through paypal. Using paypal is a fucking gamble, though. You can get away with using it for nsfw, but you run the risk of your account being shut down and your funds taken by the company at any time, should you be caught.

Easy mode is just downloading any hentai game with a poser, like Koikatsu, creating a pixiv account, and making money via patreon and fanbox.
