Quality over quantity - spend time making stuff people actually need.

How many models do you have listed to get that kind of income?

That includes recognizable furniture brands, cars, characters etc unless you have a license. Be original or you risk takedowns.

Here's my monthly averages:

  • CGTrader: $400-600
  • TurboSquid: $150-200
  • Unity Store: $300-350
  • Artstation: $50-100

Different countries have different thresholds for when you need to report online sales. In UK it's £1000/year for example.

That means better visibility for your models.

Other options?

CGTrader - best overall, good exposure and fair royalties
TurboSquid - avoid unless you do exclusivity (their regular rates are terrible)
ArtStation - decent for game assets
Unity Asset Store - great for game-ready stuff

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. List on multiple sites but track which ones actually generate sales.

Also, consider pricing strategy carefully. Going too cheap just undercuts everyone and drives prices down for everyone.

Total noob at the business side though - where do you guys actually make sales? CGTrader looks popular but their fees seem high. Any other good options? Tips appreciated!
