The alternative is to build a greater presence on here. I’m not talking about posting Ads in Community-Tools which isn’t the place for African Elephants anyway (delete that Ad from Feb 2020 dude ). I’m talking about contributing something on the Forums or AnswerHub or other commonly used channels. Want examples of MP creators that do? PM me.
Its up to you. But there are lots of devs on here who will never buy anything from creators with zero presence. For starters it can be harder to get a refund from them. Anyway, why not have a side-chat with others on the creators platform and see if loyalty or building up interest by interacting more on here is something that can grow sales or not. As the forums are kinda dead. But paid-for promotion or sub-Ads are so over-saturated.

I have no idea the impact of being more active in the Unreal Forums. Totally love that Epic calls out people that help others in the forums. That was super cool to see. I was extremely active in the Unity Forums, answering questions in the Animation section. It was somewhat crazy how much work I got from that. I’d answer their question, and then they’d have another, and then another, and then “Hey, you want to do for us?” lol. I’m not experienced in Unreal enough to really give any good advice yet. I’m sure that time will come. I’m really waiting for Unreal to open the metaverse. If you guys want to excite 3D artists, then give us a persistent world when we can all meet and show off our crazy creations as soon as they are ready. I’m involved in a number of virtual worlds. There is nothing more powerful than bringing your creations into an active world of creator friends.
What I do plan on doing, is making some tutorials. I think there are a number of niches for tutorials related to using Blender with Unreal, or just general things about Unreal Engine that aren’t covered as broadly. I have a number of tutorials around 3D creation and animation for various platforms.
