I'm confident in my modeling/texturing skills(hardsurface stuff) but the question is it worth selling my models on sites such as Sketchfab, CGtrader, Turbosquid...etc?

What do you have to lose by trying?

I just wanna know if it's profitable and whether if someone makes his living entirely of it

if you live in a cheap place, then it's okay.

you have to file very hard taxes 4 times a year instead of ez ones once a year and you could lose your health insurance meaning if you get in any accident you could become in debt for life. Because of this, consider only working for someone else instead of starting your own business

You gotta dedicate your whole life to constantly making assets and selling them for low enough that they'll get impulse bought by mostly broke indie developers

you can do vrchat commissions for pretty decent pay
that would mostly be characters tho idk about hardsurface
I sell stuff on https://booth.pm/en too
but I only make like 50 bucks a month from that
never tried sketchfab or those other ones but they might work
I think CGtrader has some freelancing functions built into it so that might be worth looking into
good luck anon
