I mean, point commissions are hella popular here and I see that artists who take them seem to be successful, so perhaps I should start accepting them as currency for my commissions?

:star: Keep in mind, a $10 fully colored picture is NOT worth 10:points: I may be selling myself short with money as is, but I won't do that with points. :lol:

I know if you have a premium membership, Deviantart has a system set up so that when you have a commission widget, you can have the points converted into actual money? (Though I'm not sure if this is still a feature since I've been gone for a yearish? I also kind of heard some negative things about said feature, though, like, dA taking forever to actually give you your money and shit) They also take 20% of your profits. 

If you do decide to go that route, I know of a lot of deviants that add that extra 20% to the points option to encourage people to just use paypal. (I mean, come on people, if you're buying points, you might as well just get a paypal account and use that!)
