Not sure if this is an appropriate ask, but I'd be interested to see some of the download shops you're referring to - I'm putting my art up on print-on-demand sites and I'm interested in continuing the endeavour, but it's a slow process - I'd love to get some inspiration on the business side of that sort of thing.

Just start with the word "downloadable" in the Etsy search bar, you'll get quite the wide variety of random crap. Page through it and you can start rabbit-holing down different keyword combinations. It's vast. Most people don't even know you can get digital downloads on Etsy and we are still surprised all the time at the new things people sell (and that people are actually buying them and finding them! how???). We sell some SVGs and PDFs on one of our shops, but we haven't actually put any effort into it last year. Based on the handful of listings we already had up we made $3k USD in 2022 with like 20 minutes of work for the year.
