You: "Wait, what?"

Me: "Yes, you can with a glass of iced coffee and not doing your homework."

Meet Mia (Your New Poster Queen)

Okay, so let's talk about Mia. She's 17 years old. She started this hustle because she was, like, super broke. She wanted to buy the new New Balance shoes and lowkey felt like the world was messing with her bank account.

She was scrolling through TikTok one night and she saw a girl who made AI artwork and sold it on Etsy. Boom. Mia went all in.

She used Midjourney to create cozy, cute bedrooms and converted her bedroom into an Etsy store, literally in the middle of a K-drama marathon.

First month? Crickets.

Second month? She made $400.

Now? She earns an extra $60-$120/day selling her online posters.

She then sells them again on Pinterest and TikTok as moodboard-themed pins and videos.

And on top of that? No printing. No shipping. Passive vibes only.

Mia's out here sewing bag but still grappling with chemistry problems (iconic).

   • Make minimal changes, insert text (where necessary), and keep good image quality.

Step 4: Open Your Etsy Shop (Your Money Portal)

Digital Download or Print Posters (What's the Move?)

Digital Downloads:

  • Pros:

          • Passive income (no shipping)

          • Air delivery

          • No costs or stocks

  • Cons:

          • Reduced cost point

          • You should print yourself (lazy people will not enjoy this)

Printed Posters:

  • Benefits:

          • Can charge additional ($15–$30 per poster)

          • More premium feel

  • Benefits:

          • You need print-on-demand partners (such as Printify or Printful)

          • Longer travel time

          • Less passive, more setup

          • Both work. Start with the internet if you're a slacker (no judgment, same).

Pricing 101: Don't Be Afraid to Charge More

   • Teens be over here dropping $2 and asking themselves why they're broke. Babe, you're selling a dream, not a boring PDF.

   • Charges digital posters $4.99–$10.

   • Price sets (3 similar posters) for $15-$25.

   • If you go printed route, you can easily charge $20–$40 depending on size.

   • People pay for vibes. Charge and mean it.

Where to Advertise (Since Etsy Alone Ain't Enough)

   • TikTok: Aesthetic videos, room decor overhauls, aesthetic poster hauls.

   • Pinterest: Pin your posters to moodboards, bedroom inspo boards.

   • Instagram: Visual reels, carousel posts, behind-the-scenes.

   • Actually, you can make pins, TikTok covers, and IG stories on Canva.

   • Tip: Post frequently. Socials are your fairy godmother of free marketing.

Motivational Rant: Why You Should Start NOW (Yes, You)

Listen, buddy. I'm going to give it to you straight.

You're already scrolling for hours. You're already fantasizing Pinterest rooms that you can only hope to afford. You're already living the aesthetic life.

So why not GET PAID for it?

You don't have to be a 30-year-old suit. You don't have to have a degree. You don't have to wait until you "get it all figured out."

You simply have to begin.

Mia was actually performing badly in chemistry and earning passive coins. 

And what do you know? The internet is fast. If you linger, someone else is going to be out here profiting on the same energy you could have profited on. 

Start messy. Start broke. Start NOW. 

This grind is simpler than getting by in math on a Monday. Let that settle.

Thank You
