Just so you know....I love watching your vlogs. They really help to inspire me. I'm a 47 year old that was told my entire life that art was not a real job. I finally have decided to be myself in all aspects of life and art is a huge part of that. I wanted you and all younger artist and youtubers to know that just because we are older doesnt mean we have it figured out and you all are there for us as well. We can all do so much to help one another jo matter our ages. Thanks for being so upfront and helpful.
Happy one-year self-employed anniversary 🎉🥳👏🏽😁 That "starving artist" mentality affected me with respects to writing but this has encouraged me to go for it especially because it comes naturally to me and I'm actually good at it lol. Thank you for sharing your journey honestly, Tiffany. Wishing you many more years!
Sarah A. I completely agree with you, but I’m not going to art school to earn a degree. As a 17 year old fresh out of high school, I don’t have the skillset or motivation to build a business. I’ve worked years to get into this school, and I’m doing so to further my education and skills, learn the business side of art, make potentially useful connections for the future, and learn directly from incredible artists. So no, I don’t think it’s a waste of money to pursue an education in something that I am passionate about :)
Definitely a rewarding experience! I'm about to graduate art school and it's helped my artistic skills grow immensely and given me opportunities to exhibit, sell my artworks and start to make a name for myself in the artworld. It also allows me to have something to fall back on if I need to get a job that requires a masters such as teaching etc. Definently worth it! Good luck!!
Your reply to the comment gave me an impression that you’re going to become a successful and kind entrepreneur one day 😊 I went to school for music and the opportunities that I got from school were priceless. Studying what you truly love will never be a waste of money. All the best!
It really depends on where you live too. I live in a farm rural area with a lot of old people. I'm having issues finding art financially stable. My mom even told me everyone locally is interested in landscaping traditional paintings than digital art. I recently quit my job with no savings and tried to live off my art. i failed honestly within a month of quitting. My mom is forcing me to find a 9-5 job again and start paying rent again.
You can live in a rural area and sell art for a living (lots of people do), but it probably won't all be done locally. Selling online, finding relevant small businesses or galleries in surrounding cities, and markets/art fairs are some options. Consider building up your savings while you keep making art with some of your free time. Aside from having art that people want to purchase, a business plan and marketing are important factors in your future success. Keep creating, learn from other artists that have built from the ground up, and set aside whatever you can so you can live the type of life you want, where you want. You're at the beginning of your journey. Best wishes!
Yeah as the previous comment says you’ll have to find a job in the city or sell online. I live rurally and do both. My commute one way can be 40-60 minutes depending on traffic. It is hard because you can’t make connections in the area and a little of the older people are so sheltered and stubborn, but it’s not impossible, you just have to get out and see the world if that makes sense. Also, if you do digital art like I do you can put that easily into a shop online that makes print on demand, you won’t make a ton of profits, but you won’t have to worry about shipping and making the thing. It’s something I’m looking into to expand what I have.
Omg tiff this is so funny cause I’m just editing my art journey video rn and your video is soo warm and insightful/helpful - CAN I JUST DIRECT EVERYONE TO YOUR VIDEO? ❤️😂 you’re so inspiring and I’m so happy to watch you grow, I can see your confidence growing each month too and it’s amazing to see ❤️ keep doing you!
I swear this video came at the most PERFECT time because lately I've been thinking a lot about the future and how I'll be able to support myself. I'm graduating from the comfy art college environment this year and I've been stuck at my 9-5 for almost six years now and I've been tired of it but stability is so comforting.. But also that's where that leap of faith comes in!! I have been thinking about starting my own shop sooner than later so that when I do decide to quit I have that second source of income like you explained in the video :o So thank you so much for this encouraging and informal video Tiffany!! ;;;
It's definitely a good idea to start your business while you're still working for your job so that you have time to learn and build before fully jumping in!
Congratulations on your one year anniversary! During my exam period last month I was really burnt out and unmotivated to do any revision. Then I found your channel and started binge watching it while I do my revisions. Your "Just do it" and perseverance always keeps me going and your way of thinking helped me a lot in viewing my studies in a better perspective. Now that I finished my exam, I am still trying to go through all your videos and re-watching some of it. I am also trying out many new art forms as a way to relieve stress. It is really inspiring to see how much you have grown in so many aspects and I am really grateful to be able to watch all of it! Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Wishing you all the best any many more years to come!
Could definitely relate to feeling lifeless at 9-5 while feeling like I couldn't dedicate my time to my passions and so jumped into this career path! Thanks for sharing your story~ :)
Loved this, Thanks so much! The social media part was so important to me, I am very awkward in SM and I don't really understand it, I pretty much escape it but I want to grow and everyone tells me that's the way to do it. I can't stand the obsessing with the numbers and likes and followers thing so after watching this I just decided I will create a space that me and whoever is interested can enjoy regardless of what the algorithm wants to do with me :)
ahhhhhh this came at the perf time because i quit recently and now im ready to dive into being my own lil boss :0) cant wait to take notes, thank you!!!! ✨
26:50 woah sharing a studio space with other creatives is also a dream of mine!! thanks for this, it felt like a warm reassuring hug. amazing as always ✨
You are such a beautiful and hard working person Tiffany ❤️ I hope you get the best journey of your life. And congratulations for the one year anniversary. It seems i have also grown with you. Take lots and lots of love.💙💙💙💙
I could listen to you talking all day! Your voice is so soothing and your video is super interesting, thank you for sharing your experience! And your art is gorgeous!!
I work in Interior Design and slowly working in starting my own business. I've been working 9 to 5 for the last six years and working through similar emotions you described. But I've been watching your vlogs for a while and this one in particular hit me hard. Like that we can all do it if we want to! I hope I'm making sense but it's very inspiring. Thank you for this! ❤️
Thank you for this!! Really inspired me to thrive and make more effort on what I do. I am also looking forward to the day that I can quit my 9-5 and focus on my own business and craft. You are my biggest inspo, ever since 😻💗
I just recently watched your old videos and watching you now, I feel closer to you than any of my previous friends. I relate to you a lot, like I just want to hug you and be your friend. I am also that one artist who at the weekend has no one to hangout with simply because we’re introverts and the pandemic even made it worse. Aaahhh, I just hope this is over so can have our normal lives back ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this! It's always inspiring hearing how other artists grow personally and professionally. I'm currently trying to build my illustration career so this video was definitely helpful to me! ☺️✌️♥️
I saw this was posted up and i love it so much. I've had it on in the background the whole time ive been drawing and its made me feel super cosy and made me realise to not be so hard on myself and my art. Thank you tiff i appreciate you
this video is a hug personified. ever since i was a kid, i was inclined to the arts and i brought that with me now, as a 22 year old and even made a living out of it as a graphic designer. for me these days i feel like i'm really creating art to survive, i can't even make art in my free time anymore coz i started to associate stress with art, which is just so sad. and when you said you just find the passion again overtime, i started tearing up. i had that sudden pang of realization. it gets hard sometimes but i won't have this any other way. i feel like being an artist is really what i'm meant to be and this is a path i'm meant to pursue :) ily tiffany, you're the best, really. thank you as always😭
Much needed timely reminders on algorithm! I was feeling about it for the past few months where i feel like i develop an obsession with numbers and that i’m doing something wrong so am very thankful to came across this and remember to just have fun :) All the best for your new upcoming projects and i’m excited to have you share more of them soon!!
wahh you're such a huge inspiration omg ;;; this is literally my dream job and i'll love to do this someday! but just wanted to say i'm proud of you for how far you've come omg!! it mustn't have been an easy decision but i'm glad to see you doing well
It has been approximately little more than a year since I found your channel, and I do remember very well your quitting your job video. The amount of confidence you've gained in not just filming but all around is astonishing and I am very proud of you! No matter what you've got this, and you have so much more to grow! I'm glad to see that you're happy, and I'm looking forward to what else you come up with. :)
Could you make video discussing your schedule? I know you make day in your life blogs, but could you talk about the hours of the day you get most of your productive work done? I'm finding there's not enough hours in the day!
I’ve seen so many of your videos, and yesterday I quit my job as a graphic designer. I wasn’t planning on it but it was a very hostile work environment and I couldn’t handle it anymore. It’s a bit silly to think that this video popped up as a sign for me to be self employed, but it’s reassuring and makes me not feel as anxious for quitting lol thank you for all your videos. They always make me feel inspired and happy 💚💚💚
I am honestly teary eyed on the part you shared about what you wanted years from now. I am actually in a moment right now where I wanted to start my own. Just that, I am too afraid to risk because of responsibilities for others. I am afraid that this season might not be the right time. You are inspiring and I look forward one day that I'd see my self doing what I really want.. and excited to know where would you be years from now. 😊
..i started watching your vlog a week ago and find it very interesting, then after watching this vlog it reminds me of my self being introvert,no friends and love being alone, and i felt that you were a far friend to me and i love that feeling that i am not alone...keep it up sorry with my english love from Philippines
this video is just so sweet -- it's inspiring and making me think about myself in a way that i honestly don't *quite* want to right now, but that's a good thing. thank you tiff!!!! sending you love
Thank you for sharing your journey! I’m glad that you decided to join a local community. I feel like it’s especially important for people who are self employed because we all need that human connection 😊 all the best!
I just found your channel recently by luck (or maybe YT knows me too well *cough* illustration, crafting, business or not, etc). This video means a lot to me, because when we're alone or feel like it, we want so much to have someone who has the same questions and issues to talk to. Your experience is interesting and encourage me to continue. Thanks a lot. (Sorry if I make some grammar mistakes, i'm not an english native).
i love how honest and transparent you are! i always watch your vlogs while i’m working and your art journey is so inspiring. i quit my job a while back and now that i’ve graduated, i’ve had more time to focus more on my shop. hearing your advice helped me so much and i hope you’ll do another soon! 💖
this was so inspiring! as someone trying to make a career out of my art this was that little reminder saying "yes, there is hope!". congrats tiffany! you've come so far! ✨
found your channel by accident. it's so inspiring ,i end up watching other vlogs. XD keep the spirit! thank you for your sharing :3 hopefully i can set up my own shop in the future just like you~
The timing of this definitely adds fuel to push me to work hard until I can get to this point. I agree with the comforts of having a 9-5 but for me personally it's gotten to a point where it just isn't for me anymore. Art has always been my calling but I've always struggled to keep a consistent drive and push past how social media makes me feel as a creative person. But the advice you gave in this video helps me feel a little bit more hopeful and determined. So thank you for being so open about your experiences and putting this together~!
so inspiring! i'm graduating from my art degree this month and i'm so excited to hopefully work my way to the art job of my dreams! It's cool to hear how you achieved it and how you overcame the difficulties it brought you ✨
I think this video made my day ✨🤩😌 I'm in 10th grade and i really want to go to an art school to do just like you, but the problem is that my parents don't agree with this. They think that i won't have enough money it won't work, they would like me to become a scientist because i like biology, but what they don't understand is that almost all my life is around drawing and art ( sorry if my english is weird, i'm french 😅) I'm sure i'm capable to do it but i'm a bit stopped by my family and friends . You are really giving me confidence. Thank you for this ! Have a great anniversary and have a great day ! ☺️😊
I will be working in my Job for June and at the beginning of July I will be self-employed aswell. I am currently extremely tired from freelance and going to work but I will make it through that last month.
I am looking for a new job rn, but I kinda am struggling with getting my a** up and register as freelance illustrator. This video really motivated me to go and work on my dreams in becoming the artist I want to be (although I don't really know how exactly that would look like). I guess motivation and research are key at this point :)
I learned from a More Hannah video that 1 year/5 year/10 year plans are meant to be flexible! I never really planned long term because i have very little idea what my pace is like 😅 Right now i graduated and am looking for a job, but it’s been a bit draining. I got curious if i should really just go straight into self employment, even though the finance area can be really murky.
Heyy, what's up hope you are all well. The vid was so sad, I cried. don't know why but yay. You are the ultimate best. Lovee. Hugss. Take care my dearest youtube friend. I am here for you.
hello tiff! I just want to say thank you for this wonderful video. It inspired me like the others too. I’m about to start another term in college again and I felt like giving up or like losing the passion of what i like doing. I only wish that this term will be more like a break since i mostly took minor subjects. But i’m really struggling in terms of creativity these days. This video just helped me to be calm and reminded me also of why I started and where I am right now. My dream is to be like that too and tho i have a long way to go, i know it will be worth it. Thank you for sharing your journey. It felt like i have someone to relate to finally. :)
This was really interesting, thank you for sharing your story. I work part time (only 3 days a week) so I do not think I will be giving it up any time soon. However, your video does help inspire me to make better use of my free time to improve my small creative business. Cheers T x
I've been doing freelance illustration commercially for a few years now, but I'm really trying to grow my audience to do more like what you do with the social media game. Patreon just seems like a dream job!! For that reason, social media and numbers feels particularly important and such a burden sometimes!! You need the numbers to succeed at selling your personal work. :,(
Thanks for sharing your journey with us! I'm on a similar path, just starting a youtube channel that will be a big part of my life, and it's really inspiring to see how far you have come =)
Hi Apple Cheeks Thanks for your life story and work in the process sharing vid. I can relate, I was in a same process myself Yeah I too been to 5 schools except schools 4 & 5 Was online self taught learning and RUclips Tutorials after It’s been a long Process to finish thru but I was satisfied on the Long run and thought up slowly what to do in my life since I was unemployed for 12 years then see what to do with my artwork & porfolio, then see how can I use these to my advantage to maybe just self employed myself And I did, 2 POD so far for 5 years and I’m happy with them Next, see what else should I do since I’m still searching till now So that’s me So again thanks so much apple cheeks and good journeys to you
Tbh I never comment or anything in youtube videos but this video kinda made me tear up, I am also overall very scared and consider myself more of a daydreamer than doing anything concrete, even thou I also got into all the art schools I applied to and got good compliments on my portfolio i still feel like I will never be able to make it or i simply cannot imagine myself even doing commissions, more so out of fear than anything else. It fills me with hope that hopefully I will get over this and even this really scared person will one day be a freelancing who knows, anyways thank you so much for your videos , they help a lot
Thank you for such a lovely video! Funny enough I also met a friend in 5th grade who I also saw as an artist prodigy and I wanted to draw as good as her. Additionally, I started carrying sketchbooks everywhere too. I currently work as a designer right now but the last year I started thinking I wanted to be self employed too. As far as the LLC you may want to check out Hawthorn Law here on youtube! He has some pretty good videos on whether you should make an LLC. All Up in Yo business is a good one to watch too :)
Off topic but I’ve been eyeing that Hoya Kerri in the background for a few vids now. It’s gorgeous! Did you find it at a shop? I’ve only seen them online & they’re pricey :/Also, thank you for opening up in this video, it’s been great seeing you continue to grow!
Um okay thanks for this I’ll recommend you guys check the description box Tiffany added the time stamps there for anyone else who wants to keep track through specific parts in the whole video.
I still remember watching the “I’m quitting my full time job” vlog like it was yesterday... damn!
It’s crazy how fast time flies!!
its been one year!??!?@??
Just so you know....I love watching your vlogs. They really help to inspire me. I'm a 47 year old that was told my entire life that art was not a real job. I finally have decided to be myself in all aspects of life and art is a huge part of that. I wanted you and all younger artist and youtubers to know that just because we are older doesnt mean we have it figured out and you all are there for us as well. We can all do so much to help one another jo matter our ages. Thanks for being so upfront and helpful.
this came at the perfect time. i’m gearing up to quit my day job by this time next year. what u do is literally my dream. thanks 🥺🥰
good luck!!

Happy one-year self-employed anniversary 🎉🥳👏🏽😁 That "starving artist" mentality affected me with respects to writing but this has encouraged me to go for it especially because it comes naturally to me and I'm actually good at it lol. Thank you for sharing your journey honestly, Tiffany. Wishing you many more years!
I’m graduating high school in a week and going to art school next year, I’m so excited!!
Congrats! I hope you enjoy it :)
That's a waste of money. You don't need a degree to make money with your art. But you do you.
Sarah A. I completely agree with you, but I’m not going to art school to earn a degree. As a 17 year old fresh out of high school, I don’t have the skillset or motivation to build a business.

"I am 1000% happier but also 1000% sadder" summed up my feelings exactly!!
It really depends on where you live too. I live in a farm rural area with a lot of old people. I'm having issues finding art financially stable.

Thank you :')

I think the 10 year goal for student loan isn't off. Most people would need that many years
I just recently watched your old videos and watching you now, I feel closer to you than any of my previous friends. I relate to you a lot, like I just want to hug you and be your friend. I am also that one artist who at the weekend has no one to hangout with simply because we’re introverts and the pandemic even made it worse.

I just quit my job to be an artist!! This video is so encouraging 🖤

I wonder what the childhood friend who was so talented at art is doing now!
this was so inspiring! as someone trying to make a career out of my art this was that little reminder saying "yes, there is hope!". congrats tiffany! you've come so far! ✨
That was so inspirational and helpful 🥺 Thank you so much ✨ Also congrats for one year self employed ❣️🌈
Fina a job that I can travel the world is also one of my dreams too !! But yeah also really scared to travel alone 🥲
i think i watched this at the best time in my life. thank you ❤️
Thanks for sharing with us Tiffany 💕 I know you're talking to a camera but it feels like talking with an old friend 😊😊
Omg yes, Pansy is amazing. She inspires me so much and I hope to visit soon
found your channel by accident. it's so inspiring ,i end up watching other vlogs. XD keep the spirit! thank you for your sharing :3 hopefully i can set up my own shop in the future just like you~
The timing of this definitely adds fuel to push me to work hard until I can get to this point. I agree with the comforts of having a 9-5 but for me personally it's gotten to a point where it just isn't for me anymore. Art has always been my calling but I've always struggled to keep a consistent drive and push past how social media makes me feel as a creative person. But the advice you gave in this video helps me feel a little bit more hopeful and determined. So thank you for being so open about your experiences and putting this together~!
so inspiring! i'm graduating from my art degree this month and i'm so excited to hopefully work my way to the art job of my dreams! It's cool to hear how you achieved it and how you overcame the difficulties it brought you ✨
It was so nice to listen to you share about the process and how you came to be! plus it’s so chill so I just laid in bed and listened hehe 🥰🥰🥰
This popped up at the right time because I'm planning on taking the same journey except that I'm not employed 😂 you're such an inspiration ❤️
Just love your videos. You’re so calm but upbeat and kind. Xx
Thank you for always being real with us!! We're all so proud of you for pursuing your passion & being humble with your success
Thank you :')
Just know that (I'm really proud of u)
I think this video made my day ✨🤩😌
I'm in 10th grade and i really want to go to an art school to do just like you, but the problem is that my parents don't agree with this.
They think that i won't have enough money it won't work, they would like me to become a scientist because i like biology, but what they don't understand is that almost all my life is around drawing and art ( sorry if my english is weird, i'm french 😅)
I'm sure i'm capable to do it but i'm a bit stopped by my family and friends .
You are really giving me confidence. Thank you for this !
Have a great anniversary and have a great day ! ☺️😊
sCREEEEEEE A NEW VIDEOOOO,, also im very much vibe with this. its so nice to wind down and look back at everything
SCHREEEEEE
I will be working in my Job for June and at the beginning of July I will be self-employed aswell. I am currently extremely tired from freelance and going to work but I will make it through that last month.
Apple Cheeks still looking fabulous in her “causal” look in that cute top😍
I am looking for a new job rn, but I kinda am struggling with getting my a** up and register as freelance illustrator. This video really motivated me to go and work on my dreams in becoming the artist I want to be (although I don't really know how exactly that would look like). I guess motivation and research are key at this point :)
Omg you reacted to my question!!!😱😱 I adore you so much!😍😍🌈
I learned from a More Hannah video that 1 year/5 year/10 year plans are meant to be flexible! I never really planned long term because i have very little idea what my pace is like 😅 Right now i graduated and am looking for a job, but it’s been a bit draining. I got curious if i should really just go straight into self employment, even though the finance area can be really murky.
One day, I would love to do what you do! I also have a art RUclips channel and an Etsy shop. You are really someone special! 🐱🐱🐱
Heyy, what's up hope you are all well. The vid was so sad, I cried. don't know why but yay. You are the ultimate best. Lovee. Hugss. Take care my dearest youtube friend. I am here for you.
hello tiff! I just want to say thank you for this wonderful video. It inspired me like the others too. I’m about to start another term in college again and I felt like giving up or like losing the passion of what i like doing. I only wish that this term will be more like a break since i mostly took minor subjects. But i’m really struggling in terms of creativity these days. This video just helped me to be calm and reminded me also of why I started and where I am right now. My dream is to be like that too and tho i have a long way to go, i know it will be worth it. Thank you for sharing your journey. It felt like i have someone to relate to finally. :)
This was really interesting, thank you for sharing your story. I work part time (only 3 days a week) so I do not think I will be giving it up any time soon. However, your video does help inspire me to make better use of my free time to improve my small creative business. Cheers T x
So awesome to see you blossom into the amazing creator and artist that you are!!(:
Whoop whoop, its been so awesome to see your process, happy 1 year anniversary!!! Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you!!
How inspiring thanks for sharing Tiffiny❤️
thanks so much for this video!!! it's reassuring that you have been successful and everything can be okay :))
I've been doing freelance illustration commercially for a few years now, but I'm really trying to grow my audience to do more like what you do with the social media game. Patreon just seems like a dream job!! For that reason, social media and numbers feels particularly important and such a burden sometimes!! You need the numbers to succeed at selling your personal work. :,(
Thanks for sharing your journey with us! I'm on a similar path, just starting a youtube channel that will be a big part of my life, and it's really inspiring to see how far you have come =)
Hi Apple Cheeks
Thanks for your life story and work in the process
sharing vid. I can relate, I was in a same process
myself Yeah I too been to 5 schools except schools
4 & 5 Was online self taught learning and RUclips
Tutorials after
It’s been a long Process to finish thru but I was satisfied
on the Long run and thought up slowly what to do in my
life since I was unemployed for 12 years then see what
to do with my artwork & porfolio, then see how can I use
these to my advantage to maybe just self employed myself
And I did, 2 POD so far for 5 years and I’m happy with them
Next, see what else should I do since I’m still searching till
now
So that’s me
So again thanks so much apple cheeks and good journeys to you
i love your studio boutique idea!!
thank you for sharing your thoughts here
Tbh I never comment or anything in youtube videos but this video kinda made me tear up, I am also overall very scared and consider myself more of a daydreamer than doing anything concrete, even thou I also got into all the art schools I applied to and got good compliments on my portfolio i still feel like I will never be able to make it or i simply cannot imagine myself even doing commissions, more so out of fear than anything else. It fills me with hope that hopefully I will get over this and even this really scared person will one day be a freelancing who knows, anyways thank you so much for your videos , they help a lot
Loved the video 😍
Such a relaxing video !!!
Congrats on one year!
ur such a sweet person!! lovee youu! x
Can you show us your portfolio for when you applied to university? I think that would be fun!
Thank you for such a lovely video!
Funny enough I also met a friend in 5th grade who I also saw as an artist prodigy and I wanted to draw as good as her. Additionally, I started carrying sketchbooks everywhere too.
I currently work as a designer right now but the last year I started thinking I wanted to be self employed too.
As far as the LLC you may want to check out Hawthorn Law here on youtube! He has some pretty good videos on whether you should make an LLC. All Up in Yo business is a good one to watch too :)
love you Tiff!!
Off topic but I’ve been eyeing that Hoya Kerri in the background for a few vids now. It’s gorgeous! Did you find it at a shop? I’ve only seen them online & they’re pricey :/Also, thank you for opening up in this video, it’s been great seeing you continue to grow!
Youre so inspiring to me c: can you give tips in starting out when someone cant set a side money or have budget?
I love this video :)
This is just what i needed :
I’m inspired 🥺

She talks most of the video giving a backstory but she starts the questions at 18:45 sorry I was getting a bit bored so I skipped ahead.
Um okay thanks for this I’ll recommend you guys check the description box Tiffany added the time stamps there for anyone else who wants to keep track through specific parts in the whole video.

Stocks are good too
@@jimmystaab2631 Stocks are good crypto is better
I wanted to trade Crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
@@lindabarbara669 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Tom Teichman
