A Vartisan - Virtual Artisan, is an artist who can live off the income they create online.

Growing up, all I ever knew was creating and making art. But I knew it would be hard to make a living from my art. The stereotype of artists being poor started to feel true as even my college professors were saying not to expect making a decent living after graduating. They insisted I will need to have side jobs to make ends meet and it will take years of experience to live off the income of a creative.

After I received my degree, I was struggling for years after college, living off my parents, unable to find a job and basically being a NEET. As an introvert, it felt even more impossible to secure a job and escape the depression of living with my parents and being unable to afford what I wanted.

But I took a gamble - or opportunity risk! I decided to dive deep in, head first, to create money online without having to talk to others on the phone or face to face. It wasn't an easy journey and it was hard at first. I wanted to give up several times. I'm glad I perservered, however, because I'm no longer financially struggling now!

I was able to successfully make a comfortable living off being a creative. I stopped relying on my family and have now been able to purchase a double-storey house, luxury car and create art every day at my desk without having to commute and turn up into an office!
