I just put up my artworks on these websites, teepublic link as below. Does this really works for artist / pure profit for the manufacturing company?
Poorfag here, any form of support is truly appreciated.

I've been selling on them for a few years now.
> Does this really works for artist / pure profit for the manufacturing company?
Not sure what you're asking here. Yes, when a sale is made, you get a profit margin. The company keeps the rest.
Whether or not you're going to actually sell work is hard to say. You're either:
1. Bringing in your own traffic & buyers from off-site
2. Making sales from buyers browsing on-site
You can definitely make a decent passive monthly income, but its very hard to do and takes a long time to build up. A lot of it is luck (being featured helps boost sales), but a lot of it is creating work that is very appealing to a large amount of people. Success on these sites is NOT about creating the "best" work, but rather creating the "right" work that really clicks with people. Technical skill has little to do with it.
Let me know if you have any questions about them - I'm happy to help!

Sharing on Facebook and Twitter only works if you have a large amount of loyal followers to begin with.

I have been researching these sites for a couple years and will be finally jumping in starting next year
from what I could gather everything comes down to volume. you want to have tons of designs up there of decent quality and they'll start selling overtime if they catch people's interest
the people who make good money from it produce a lot of designs and say it has a lot to do with quantity
>person likes your design
>goes to your page to see what else you got
>it's empty and they leave
now compare that to a store with hundreds of other goodies that will keep the interest of the consumer
