    32K is enough to put a chunk on a mortgage, get debt free, for most people if used right over the year that would be awesome to give freedom from debt. Good for you and congrats. Keep going. Love your channel .

      Unless you have some decent write offs, you're gonna be paying anywhere from 12% (easily) to close to 25% in taxes. Also, you're supposed to pay estimated quarterly taxes towards that bill throughout the year.

    • @wjameswright
      @wjameswright 7 месяцев назад

      @@cmgweb6951 IMHO there would be some write offs, part of rent, part of utilities, office supplies, computer/studio add ons (ie cameras, computers, ;laptops, software) Talk to a tax specialist and see what would be allowed

Not to mention, almost no overhead. You deserve every penny you were paid, and did a great job explaining everything. Thanks.

  • @Hodenkat
    @Hodenkat 9 месяцев назад +3

    One of the useful things about this channel for me is how a fair amount of information is compiled in analyzing each topic. Helping people identify how they may be getting manipulated by psychological business practices is a useful tool in helping some folks to be less impulsive when it comes to spending, and to think about what they spend money on. One of the hardest lessons here for me here on this channel was the "buy once, cry once" way of looking at important purchases. Nicole has mentioned it at least once or twice.

    @ericclark133 10 месяцев назад +12

    I like how you mix hope and caution, showing the variance in the revenue and views. Being realistic when you state this takes a ton of perseverance is a huge element of this as well. What you create is certainly much more valuable than many other influencers who shouldn’t be influencing, since their influence is bad - but unfortunately they make a lot more (and end up creating bad habits). Hopefully your channel will continue to grow and you will be able to not only earn a living wage, but earn a good wage. You have a lot of good advice (although I don’t agree with all of it - but since when do humans completely agree on anything), it should be reaching more people, and you should be compensated well for dispensing it.

    It's interesting how past videos gain sudden traction and it's a good lesson about why you need to simply keep going and carry on. I'm a self-published author and it's the same thing - I get income from the books I wrote 5 years ago and occasionally one or two really jump in popularity. There's no obvious pattern as to why, it could be just an algorithm thing or some reason why the subject matter becomes more sought-after. Great videos, thank you.

    appreciate the honesty in this video and your others, I think that is a massive part of the success, no weird clickbait angle.

    @MatthewTheWanderer 10 месяцев назад +3

    Thank you for this video! As a new content creator for RUclips, I am still not monetized. I've only been making videos for about 4 months now. It's frustrating sometimes because there seems to be very little rhyme or reason as to why some of my videos (mostly shorts) get a lot more views than others. It also sucks doing this on the side while working other jobs that pay crap wages. I usually too tired to make anything besides easy low-effort shorts. But, my longer videos rarely ever get as many views as the shorts do. But, I refuse to give up because I HATE every job I've ever had, so being a RUclipsr would be better than anything I've ever done if I could make it work.

I fit into that "older male" category at 52, but alas, I have no politics or conspiracy theories to offer you, lol. I do want to say though, that I have learned a lot from your videos, and because of some of your subjects, I have saved a little money here and there and even made a little extra following some of your advice. Goes to show that no one is too old to learn something new, and you might just learn it from someone substantially younger than you. Keep up the good work, and most importantly- THANK YOU!

    Hey, Nicole. I found this insight into your business really fascinating. I'm one of those older viewers who regularly watch your videos. From my perspective, as a personal finance enthusiast and self-taught financial planner, I appreciate your focus on financial empowerment.
    I'm always on the lookout for fresh voices that resonate with young people on life and money topics. As someone with several granddaughters and a three-year-old great-granddaughter, I believe smart and savvy women like you are excellent role models for them.
    Learning how young people approach money and what matters to them helps me better connect with the younger generation in my life, including my son, daughter, and a young man I mentor in finance. I'm not one of those interested in political debates; I’m here for the valuable content you provide. Keep up the great work! I'm already a fan and wish you continued success.

    I absolutely adore your videos, Nicole! It's not the first time I comment and I can relate to your devotion. It took me long years to make my passion a part time and later a full time job.
    And it's important for me to mention that I respect you for not appearing in a desperate, tacky way on kamera to get just a few more views. You're beautiful and I admire your self respect and confidence for showing yourself in the most natural way❤
