Let’s be honest, if you’re a PMU artist who only makes money from services, you’re capping your income. You only have so many hours in a day, and once you’re booked out, there’s nowhere else to grow… unless you raise prices.
But what if I told you there are hidden income streams in your PMU business that could bring in thousands without you taking on a single extra client? Let’s talk about how you can start making passive and semi-passive income in PMU today.
1. Digital Products (The Goldmine You’re Ignoring)
You already have valuable knowledge, why not turn it into a product that sells itself?
Ideas for digital products you can sell:
- PMU Aftercare Guides
- Brow Mapping Cheat Sheets
- Color Theory Mini-Course
- Pricing and Business Strategy Ebooks
Why it works: Once you create a digital product, you can sell it over and over again without doing extra work. That’s called making money in your sleep.
Pro Tip: Start with something simple, like a $29 aftercare PDF that artists can give to their own clients. You’ll be shocked at how much you can make!
2. PMU Supplies and Kits (Sell What You Already Use)
If you have favorite PMU tools, pigments, or aftercare products, why not sell them directly to your clients or students?
Ideas:
- Curated PMU aftercare kits
- Custom pigment collections
- Your own branded microbrushes or mapping tools
Pro Tip: You don’t need to start a full-on supply business just partner with an existing supplier, private label their products, and sell under your own brand.
3. Affiliate Marketing (Get Paid to Recommend What You Already Love)
If you’re already telling people which PMU machines, needles, or pigments you love, why not get paid for it?
How it works:
- Sign up for affiliate programs with PMU supply companies.
- Share your links with clients and artists.
- Every time someone buys through your link, you get a commission.
Why it’s genius: You don’t have to stock inventory or deal with shipping just recommend products and get paid.
Pro Tip: Start by reaching out to brands you already use and love. Most will be happy to offer you a commission if you send them business!
You don’t need to take more clients to make more money. You just need to leverage what you already know and do.
By selling digital products, PMU supplies, or affiliate recommendations, you can start bringing in extra income every month without burning yourself out.
The smartest artists aren’t just good at PMU, they’re good at business. Which one do you want to be?
Let me know, are you already using any of these income streams? Or are you ready to start?
