  • From what I have read in the past, there are different models that different coops follow. Most have a limit on the number of dwellings, both from the government and coop planning, if they have hit the max number you would have to purchase from an existing member. From the coop properties I’ve looked at, they can be well below market rate but that’s because you are buying into a community and there are expectations and responsibilities not found in non-coop living. A little like American HOAs.

    There are some coops that have strict requirements to join, like womens only coops or some that follow certain beliefs(environmental, political or spiritual and some can feel a bit cult-like). You can’t demand market rates when you have such heavy restrictions and demands of property owners.









  • With the current cost of living issues most people are having and cutting back on non-essential spending, you will really need to push the visibility of your work on social media.

    Try and find a niche to exploit that’s not over-saturated and be realistic with your pricing. If you identify a niche, maybe reach out to popular/highly visible members of that community and offer to do custom avatar/banner work.

    Maybe after you raise the visibility of your work, offer a heavily discounted limited time promotion or something.

    Also might be worth checking out some freelance art jobs
