Do I need to focus exclusively on prints or one specific type of art product to be successful?

Absolutely not. Success is what matters, not where it comes from or in what format. A blend of any type of art sales—originals, prints, commissions, courses, service work—is perfectly valid. The reason this matters is that once you’re an entrepreneur or business owner, you understand how hard it is to get any single revenue source producing well. Once you get one working, you need to double down and triple down on it, not shift your focus to something else. Never let anyone tell you that you need to be in a specific niche or switch to a different revenue model when you already have something that’s producing income.
