Do you have interest in starting a career in selling products at anime conventions but don't know where to start? This guide will teach you all the basics you need to know to start selling in the artist alley.
I'm Nick, I started this business making and selling costume accessories back in 2014. I have combined my more than 10 years experience going to over 50 conventions into this course to help other artists start their own careers. This will include:
- Finding conventions to sell at
- Tips on how to apply and the resources you need
- Answering common questions like “how much product should I bring?”
- A checklist of what you'll need for your artist alley table
- Tips for selling at anime cons
- When and how to obtain business licenses
- How to file your tax return to minimize your tax liabilities
Included is a 6 page pdf and a spreadsheet template to help you organize your sales and expense. The guide is focused on anime conventions, but also applies to comic, pop culture, furry, and other similar events.
