PSA: You DO NOT need to scale your business to this level as a Creator. I ENJOY running a business and growing it😁 You can make $3,000/mo and it can be just enough to make you happy. This video is simply me sharing how my business operates. You can operate your business as a creator differently, and that's okay 🧡🧡
Thanks for saying this - I had someone mention to me only making 4k a month as a content creator that I could make much more - but it’s been enough work making this amount and I don’t want to work 24/7.
Of all the RUclipsrs I've watch that give this kind of information, no one is as candid or explains it as well as you do. Your camera presence is definitely top 1%. I enjoy the content and the knowledge drop!
I really appreciate you breaking down your finances and being TRUTHFUL about it. Too many times I'll see business owners talk about starting a million dollar business but never mention the expenses. Great video! 💵
Wow!! Thank you so much! ☺️ I’m so grateful to get to do this as my job and I think being transparent helps make it easier for the next person to get started 👏🏽
Yes, exactly! It seems like no one--no one!-mentions how much they get to KEEP from any business in any field. Having worked in businesses that *seem* to have money flowing in visibly, what something looks like from the outside can be quite different after looking at the books. I know not to assume any kind of success/failure from appearance or raw numbers alone; those things say little. So thank you, Millie.
GIRL! I Love how transparent this is. And selfishly, would love a video on hiring your first employee (not contractor) as I am getting ready to do so! :)
💵thank you so much for demystifying this thought process and showing a bit behind the scenes. A limiting belief/fear I’m working through as I start my journey is “I don’t know what happens if the business becomes successful, I don’t have the tools” and this was immensely helpful
This video is a great way to get a glimpse into the life of a full-time content creator. The presenter is transparent about her earnings and expenses, which is refreshing to see. It's clear that she's passionate about her work and that she's dedicated to building a successful career in content creation.
Yo I'm a CPA and also full time youtuber! Nice video. i was afraid when just seeing one month but love the fact you actually said that its not like this every month and spiky sometimes ! Good show
What a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing how you run your business finances. I really enjoy your way of delivering information without wasting our time. I am watching your channel more and more. I can only imagine how hard you are working. I come from the film industry and totally get what it takes to produce content. At least you have a team available as well. Keep up the great work. And again a big thank you!
Yes, a team. Finished products (content) frequently look so seamless and professional because of a great deal of help. So solo business folks who get down on themselves because it may take longer or they just don't have the help (yet) making content as high-end can adjust their expectations.
Such helpful information. Thank you for sharing this. I love that you purposely give back each month to non-profit organizations and have made that a priority. God bless!! 🙏🏽 💛
Wow, this video is very helpful! It’s interesting to see how you break down expenses and manage finances. I appreciate your transparency about taxes and profits. This provides a realistic view of being a full-time content creator! 👏💼💰
Thank you for doing this video. My son is a big gamer and is always talking about doing youtube videos. I will definitely tell him about your channel. Thank you again and best wishes for future success. 💵
I appreciate your transparency in this video. I was wondering if you could make a pt 2 and talk about if the expenses you have are worth it, and what are your business goals.
Breaking down how you divide up the money is genius!! I am still a beginner and haven't made much money as a creator, but I am already thinking about how to break down the revenue once it gets here. I'm super diligent with my personal (9-5 income) so using this time to be a good steward so that God can trust me with the increase. In the meantime, learning in preparation for it. Thank you so much for the transparency!
I love your transparency! I see so many people using income/earning claims - "I made this in a month, and you can too or this is exactly how i did it" ALL it does is target a desperate consumer especially if it is paired with - And you can do it to! It actually is walking a very fine line of being illegal and against the FTC laws. Which can come with fines of $43k PER violation. YIKES. So I LOOOOOVE your transparency !
That's honestly amazing achievement, and thanks for providing your insight. Getting that first paycheck from RUclips is one of my favorite memories. I still remember it, there was lots of emotions involved. If it wasn't for my consistency and hard work (and a little bit of Famester of course), I probably wouldn't have made anything.
Thank you so much! ☺️ I’m so glad you found this helpful! It’s a crazy feeling getting that first paycheck from RUclips or a brand deal! I’m so grateful to do this as my job and appreciate all the support from all of you! 🧡
💵 Great video! Thanks for being so honest ❤️ Plus it really helps me to understand how to manage my side hustle finances. Also thank you for your video and workbook about 12 months for content creation, it helped me tremendously going back to it after several months without doing anything! Cheers from France 😘
Yay!! I’m so glad you found this and my resources helpful! ☺️ I love being able to do this as a career and am happy that I get to share this information with all of you!
I actually finished reading Profit First last month and as I was starting to watch the video I asked myself if you knew about it! Ahah! So this is very interesting! Thank you for sharing!💵
Would love to see a breakdown of the contracted employees or freelancers you have for your business! I am guessing one is a video editor, social media manager? Curious to know!
Honestly taxes have been such a scare for me but it’s also all about mindset. When you live paycheck to paycheck with a practical 9-5 and tax refunds are your savior to then think about all the taxes paying forward for a business you’re wanting to bring back to get out of the 9-5 game some day is so scary but you’re overlooking the bigger picture of how much you have left to invest and how much more life you have left over. 😅 please make a video about money mindset if you have not already.
I love the idea of a money mindset video!! I’ll keep this in mind for sure! Taxes can be daunting, but once start doing them, it gets easier every time. You can also set aside MORE for taxes, just in case, and then anything not paid towards taxes is like your “refund.”
Hi Millie! Thanks for the in-depth video. Would you mind sharing in the comments or another video how you go about paying for health insurance and retirement? Is that distributed somewhere in expenses?
Hi!! This is a great question! It all depends on where you live and what’s available to you. In the US lots of creators use the Healthcare Marketplace, but you can also research and shop plans directly from Insurance companies.
Thank you for sharing this info! 💵 (Do you have a vudeo that discusses where full time creators research info on benefits like health insurance for themselves? Thanks!)
Hi! I don’t have a video on this currently, but it will all depend on where you live. Some people in the US choose to use the health care market place or you could look at individual companies for plans! I hope this helps🧡
Millie, thank you for the informations!!!!!!I also devoured , how do you differentiate online course to youtube free course so customer willing to buy? I am trying to figure this out while in my niche people already selling apps to replace online courses..save me..
great content as always, but the editing on this video seems very mechanical. Every X seconds they zoom in, then X seconds later they zoom out. It looks like AI edited this video on a timer.
I noticed that too, it can sometimes make videos feel less personal. Maybe it's worth experimenting with different editing styles for a more natural flow.

MILLIE!! This was soooooo good. I literally had to hit pause, rewind and play the entire time and took so much notes. Needed this!!
I just finished Profit First. You mentioned it in one of your videos and it's a game changer for business finances. Looking forward to this video!
RIGHT?! I don't always like to real business-y books but this one was a must!!
I love this! Thanks for the honesty, going directly to the point and at the same time enough details, this is great great stuff

Hi Millie, my name is Chelly! Thank you so much for this breakdown. I just sent you an email about making your business carbon neutral.
Hi Millie!
Hi!!! 👋🏽😊
Hi Millie! Thanks for the in-depth video. Would you mind sharing in the comments or another video how you go about paying for health insurance and retirement? Is that distributed somewhere in expenses?
Hi!! This is a great question! It all depends on where you live and what’s available to you. In the US lots of creators use the Healthcare Marketplace, but you can also research and shop plans directly from Insurance companies.
For retirement, you can set up IRAs, ROTH IRAs, or other forms of money management accounts with banks or your choosing.
Thank you for sharing this info! 💵 (Do you have a vudeo that discusses where full time creators research info on benefits like health insurance for themselves? Thanks!)
Hi! I don’t have a video on this currently, but it will all depend on where you live. Some people in the US choose to use the health care market place or you could look at individual companies for plans! I hope this helps🧡
💷 great video 😊
Ahh! Thank you so much! ☺️

This gives me so much motivation to keep going!
I'm currently just under 250 subs and hoping to hit 500 by Christmas! ❤
Just the info I need. It's so hard to figure out all this. The thumbnail doesn't do the content justice.
Thank you 🥹 honestly I'm happy to take any thumbnail ideas you have! I agree and feel like the thumbnail could be "more" somehow!
Millie, thank you for the informations!!!!!!I also devoured , how do you differentiate online course to youtube free course so customer willing to buy? I am trying to figure this out while in my niche people already selling apps to replace online courses..save me..
How does someone get started in order to do what you do? I’m always looking for different ideas to provide more for my family to live comfortably.

When you do the affiliate link/program do you charge the brand for the review?
Nope! With affiliates, I simply talk about it because I love it and the form of payment is the commission made on sales from followers
great content as always, but the editing on this video seems very mechanical. Every X seconds they zoom in, then X seconds later they zoom out. It looks like AI edited this video on a timer.
