Ok so I've just started creating some digital art and have started to upload it onto Instagram. I've gathered quite a following on Instagram and my posts have started to gain 1,000 likes etc to the point where people have been messaging me asking me to make them custom work for album art etc. I thought this might be a good way to make a bit of money on the side and have made known that I am now open to commissions and custom work for a fee of £15 and everyone who asks me about this I make known from the start that I charge £15. Everyone says "oh that's really cheap", and then they tell me what kind of image they want done and I spend hours making and changing the custom work for them after various message exchanges for them asking what they like changed for them to reply and say "ok I'll ponder on it and let you know"and then they don't let me know or no response at all. So I feel like I've spent hours making work that they don't actually even want and that's hours of my day I've done that for free. Anyone else who is an artist experienced this or anyone have advice?
