WHY THIS ROUTE
Artists already sell commissions; you remove the fear on both sides and take a small fee only when a brief completes, so your first income arrives with your first delivered piece.
ARRIVED LOOKS LIKE
Ten completed briefs through your market and the first $100 in completion fees.

NEXT MOVE · WITHIN THE HOUR

1. List 15 artists who post open commission slots

30 min

Search X, Instagram and Bluesky for 'commissions open' in the last two weeks. Note their price list and whether they complain about ghosting or deposits. Pick the ones with clear prices.

2. Invite three of them to try a funded brief

20 min

Send the script below as a reply or DM to artists who posted about slots, one message each. Offer to set up their profile for them.

FIRST MESSAGE · X OR INSTAGRAM DM · TO AN ARTIST WHO JUST POSTED OPEN COMMISSION SLOTS

Saw your commissions are open. I run a small commission market where the buyer's budget sits in escrow before you start, each sketch round pays out when approved, and the finished piece carries your credit forever. Want me to set up your profile so your next client pays this way? No fee unless the brief completes.

3. Run one real brief end to end

60 min

Commission a small piece yourself, around $40, from whoever said yes. Use the app for every round so you see what each side feels.

4. Publish the provenance page

20 min

With the artist's permission, share the page showing the brief, sketch and final. Tag the artist and link their open slots.

5. Set the fee and reach ten briefs

30 min

Keep the default 5 percent and ask each artist to route their next two clients through the market. Track briefs in the Revenue screen.
