🧵 Commercialising your work

Can I get a QRD on platforms with best legal protections?
I look at cults and their commercial license looks fucking retarded (left of pic). Buyers are allowed to just print your shit and distribute themselves (with attribution)? Fuck that.
myminifactory has protections, but has a subscription fee for sellers and also exclusivity terms.
Should I post my free stuff on cults and paid stuff on MMF?
Or just abandon cults altogether despite the additional exposure stream?
Kickstarters? Patreon?
I hate the idea of being beholden to terminally online slobs, but the income stream is tempting and I realise the benefit of people not being fucked cancelling subs.
Lastly, if I avoid the whole patreon pandering shit, what is the best platform for people to support my work in one off tips? Don't say the buy me a coffee thing - it sounds stupid.

the man who brings your digital work into the physical world is going to get the bulk of the profit. id look for someone you know personally who can print your stuff or become that guy yourself.
you can even print plastic injection molds now and rapidly produce your models at high quality super fast. the more of the work you do yourself the more youll profit.

crowd funding, imo, is your best bet. cultivate an audience for your niche. focus on providing content.

I know right. I just want to capitalise on my designs without too much hassle.
To elaborate, I'm designing novel upgrade kits for my own warhammer 40k minis that I know others will want too.
