i'd say posting things on toyhouse forums would give u quite a bit of bump since people look into there quite a bit tbh! for disc servers, ive seen before that there is quite a bit available listed publicly on the lists online so maybe u could give browsing these a shot too! :3

all that being said - in my opinion, there is no sure way to sell your art or adopts online. art spaces vary and are very inconsistent with a lot of things. with a lot of people struggling financially, there's a lot of artists selling stuff, but not as many willing to spend their money on art

some themes for adopts sell easier than others (off the top of my head the most 'obvious' ones imo are jester/clown/circus characters or shark/aquatic adopts), but also make sure u still are doing something u are comfortable with! don't be afraid to be inspired by others and by what sells for others

much better u think a design is compared to another, and so on, and eventually u will also be able to raise the prices more properly! - popular/generally liked themes - this less so, but its also good to look into others' sales and their adopts/designs, and what kinda themes they are going for. +

- price accordingly - unfortunately, as much as it sucks, the less of an audience you already have built = the lower your chances are of selling higher-priced adopts. starting a bit lower may be better, but please also dont underprice anything! and raise the prices with how +

- be persistent! - bump up or repost your sales at least every few days. don't be afraid to be persistent about your art and your sales because you deserve it! don't directly DM people obv, but bumping them up on socials or in discord servers is good +

cross-posting to ko-fi or anything like will still be a good idea! from what ive noticed, bsky still doesn't have a lot of traffic, or at least imo its very difficult to browse things easily, so the more you advertise elsewhere, the better +

burg dog hath summoned me while im not the expert on anything, here's a few ways to hopefully increase your sales; - advertisement - i suggest bigger places like TH or big art disc servers with a lot of people (preferably those that focus on adopts or advertising these kinds of sales in general) +
