Estimates suggest startup costs typically around $300 to $2,000, depending on your website or marketplace setup, sample prints and any artwork you license. A local print partner prints and posts each order, so you don't hold stock.

Estimates suggest monthly revenue typically around $200 to $3,000, depending on your niche, how well you market the shop and your prices. It can start at about 5 hours a week, and revenue is before costs.

Only sell artwork you created, licensed or that is properly in the public domain. Check whether you need to register for GST as turnover nears the threshold, and your Australian Consumer Law obligations on refunds and faulty goods. Order samples to check print quality.
