- Check out Uscreen: www.uscreen.tv/request-demo/?... | Being a content creator doesn’t have to mean instable finances - if you develop multiple income streams that can support you through the ebbs and flows. Today I’m exposing all the income streams I have set up, and how much they generated in 2023. We’ll look at how things have changed from 2022 to 2023, and the biggest lessons I took away form the growth I saw last year.

Love the transparency around income streams for creators! It really is helpful for small creators looking to grow (or anyone in general!) Thanks so much for sharing 😊
This is perfection! Thank you so much for the transparency with your multiple income streams. I had no idea that the income as a content creator wasn't a steady flow of finances from week to week. So this was very helpful. I have 2 questions: 1. Do you have a strategy for finding affiliates in my particular niche, plus a process on which ones you choose to recommend to your audience? And, 2. can you please make a video on newsletters. I have no idea what to include in a newsletter. Is it like a blog and how is it different to what you are putting out on your social media platforms? Thank you for all you in the community.
Ohhhh I’ve been trying to come up with some way to start an email list because you and others all say to start one asap. Your “big brain move” is it!!! A catalog of my fave power tools/supplies with Amazon affiliate links (diy channel)… instead of just having links in vid description. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you, Katie! I admit I watch other content creators for their ideas and tips, but when I need clarity, someone to fill in my knowledge gaps, I return to your channel. Thank you for your transparency.
I‘m really interested in what you end up “taking home”. Like after expenses and taxes, it’s really hard to get a clear picture with just the income streams.
Exactly - if I grossed $300k but after expenses only took home $60k that's a lot different than "making $300k"
It's all digital, so what do you think her overhead must be lol. No office rent, no employees, no warehouse, no product stock. She deducts her macbook, phone, web hosting, and not much else.
@@mirell5785 Excellent point, Mirell While everyone's side hustle will vary, you're absolutely right - her costs probably are minimal. I immediately thought of my own person situation where gross vs net vary wildly. Excellent and super informative video nonetheless!
@@mirell5785 okay cool that still does not give one an actual figure to work with… so no need to be sarcastic.
@@mirell5785 She mentioned that she has employees that she pays $30-$50 an hour.
As always, such a helpful video! It sparked some thoughts for me on what directions we can go for income streams VS assuming we just need to get to the brand deal stage. Love the transparency - thank you!
I love income transparency, thank you so much for sharing!!
I've always appreciated your transparency with finances ☺
Your transparency is so refreshing and appreciated. You are relatable, believable and you make it all seem achievable. Thank you!
A half million year!? Congratulations!!!! That’s incredible, here’s to doubling it in 2024 🎉
I really appreciate your income transparency. My financial manager has helped me to develop a plan that is designed to fit my needs and maximise my finances. With her support and guidance, I have been able to make smart and prudent choices when it comes to my money. Thank you Mrs. Maya Payson.
It seems Maya Payson must be a highly skilled professional, given the amount of positive feedback she receives. Interestingly, she also manages the investments of one of my colleagues. I'm impressed that you are aware of her as well.
Yes charlotte she's very good, straightforward and one of the best so far. People who don't know her or those that haven't invested with her. would say otherwise but the honest truth is that she has helped more people than i can count and that has to stand for something.
I am extremely grateful to Maya for being a true blessing in my life. Her kindness and support will always be remembered and cherished by me.
Attending her seminars was a privilege; it kickstarted my investment journey. She's so honest.
I heard about this lady on Larry Jones channel, please how can i get in touch ?
I love your content because you are believable and you make everything seem achievable. Helps me maintain motivation.
Thank you for sharing! Could you do a video about the difference in you revenue and profit?
Super helpful and straightforward. Thank you
I really appreciate your income transparency!! As someone who's just getting started on RUclips with a goal of getting monetized and in the future working with brands, this was super helpful to get an insight into your different income streams and see how much you're making - super inspiring!! ✨
Thank you for sharing this! I’d love to know how you structure your business. Do you have separate bank accounts and LLCs for each of your income streams?
Katie, you're courage to be transparent is an inspiration. Thank you for holding space and being an example of a new consciousness around money.
Very informative... Thank you 🙏🏿
Congrats Katie! 🎉 Thank you for all the great info always 😊🌻
Thank you Katie. I have subscribed.

Love this! Wondering what your net was though? I think that's super important info for the creator who is looking at following in your footsteps.
Katie, love your conversational approach to content creation, definitely a differential approach to other content creator pages.
Much needed! Thank you so much Katie! Keeping it real always!

Love your channel. Thanks for this transparency and all of your tips!
Love how you explained where the revenue comes from. I am new to you tube and at the moment just trying to gain subscribers. TFS
Congrats Katie, that's awesome!! 🖤🖤
THIS is what I've been looking for. I have been fully self employed for the last 12 years, and developing income streams is something I've been doing since 2000. Developing MORE income streams is what I want to work on this year, and then teach others to do the same. Can't wait to hear what you have to say about it!
Hey Katie! Love this video!! I am definitely looking into starting a YT channel or an Instagram. I would love to know or a video on how you deal with taxes like filing a 1099 and/or anything under anything with taxes. Bc if I want to become a content creator, the one thing that is holding me back is taxes/IRS... They are very scary!!
Thanks for the transparency! Much appreciated 😊
Thank you for sharing this breakdown, it's super interesting to hear
You gave us so much value this year, it's no surprise it was reflected in your revenue. Congrats! And thank you, so much good info in this vid.
You’re amazing for sharing this. Thank you!!
Really lovely video! Thanks so much for the transparency behind it! I am watching your videos to get information and ideas and all I want to create for myself is an income of 3k a month and my life would be on another level. Yet you made this much... Mind blowing really! Keep it up! I love your content. Also. It is 3k doable per month? Lol I guess so.
You go girl🎉 You work very hard. And you deserve it.
Well, you really got me hooked. I think you're incredible thank you for sharing and I'm ready to get started and do what you do I am retired I'm 65 and lots of Assessments in My Condo building in Florida and really need to go back to work and I didn't go to college on self-starter so I'd love to follow your lead
Congrats on your growth! Just out of curiosity, I’d like to see how you plan to hit your 500K/month views goal. I’d also like to see the breakdown of your team and what projects/products they work on.
Thank you so much for your sincere openness and encouraging information ❤

Thank you so mich for ALL of your videos. I am feeling more confident in getting started - with your help. I appreciate you.
I'm so glad I found you. The first time I saw one of your videos. II thought you were great. I thought, this is somebody to listen to. That's because you come across as responsible and mature, but relaxed. 😊 And I really like that.
I have questions, how many hours a day or a week do you work? And how many days a week?
Loved this video! Congrats on higher digital product sales too! 👏🎉
thanks Molly! your advice was super helpful for me!
@@katieoh glad to hear it! It's very helpful and inspiring seeing your numbers, thanks for being so transparent
💙 how do you go about your taxes? Do you print off your income report from Google Adsense and just hand that over to your accountant, plus business expense receipts?
great video! Do you have a video on how you created your media company and how we can as well?
Great video! So helpful, thank you! 😊
I am curious to learn more about how you went about making your gear guide "magazine", did you use any specific websites or programs?
Thanks for your transparency and authenticity!
You're amazing. Thanks for the transparency. I need to do something more this year.
Been following for a while now. I really appreciate the insight on revenue and when comes from.
Your awesome Katie!! always sharing tips and information, rarely seen on other channels alike
Thank you for being so refreshingly honest, and for making videos that are beautifully simple.
Love your videos Katie! I seriously learn so much even as a creator who’s been uploading to RUclips for a while. 🎉
awe thank you! i appreciate that 🫶🏻
You are the best! Thank you for always share fantastic information.

How I edit my video is not linked. Can you please update? I’m a fan!
So badass! Thanks for being so transparent 💖
Thank you for the numbers! Love transparency !! :D
As a content creator, this is very helpful. Thank you so much for your transparency.
This video is freaking amazing- and inspiring. I have a different channel that is similar to yours and you talking about your business numbers inspiring me to work a little smarter so that I could also possibly see similar successes.
I really appreciate this transparency!!
Great video! I'm definitely going to use this info to expand things this year. Really wanting to grow my channel this year and concentrate on securing brand deals. Thanks for being so open about your finances. It really puts things into a positive perspective for me.
Congratulations on doing so well! I wish you continued success. This is a very helpful video. Thank you.

I love your videos ! They are so so helpful. Can you share about how many hours a week you work ?
You’re killing the game !! Congratulations 🎉
WOOHOO! Bravo Katie!
Dang!! Keep up the good work! Hope to get to that point someday as well!
This was a great video; helps me to think about how I should diversify my income streams; thanks for the video, Katie!
yes - it's all about diversifying your income 🙌🏻
What constitutes a 'brand deal' per your model? Thanks.
You are seriously the best! I’ve been following you for years and always get so much value from your videos. I’m trying to lean in stronger to brand deals this year than last year. I’ve noticed many brands cutting their creator/influencer budgets though. Have you seen this or have any tips about it?
Thank you for your video 💫
I love the transparency and the financial aspect of this video. Keep doing what you do and I wish you the best!🎉
I am a new RUclipsr, just started creating my own content after I was doing it for others, I found your video very helpful. I think that raising your profits even though your views were not increased so much, shows that you have a committed audience who trusts you and buys the products you are suggesting. This is a big success for me. Would love to see a video about how you charge someone who is asking for cooperation with you. 🙏
There is a little glitch at 14:28
I love the video, thank you for the financial transparency :)
that is so weird! this has been happening to me a lot lately - and it seems to be an issue with uploading because my original file is fine 🤔 i don't know why youtube is doing me dirty like this lately 😅
@@katie I feel like RUclips is def throwing shade. It won't even upload an entire 4k video on my end.
At first I was like "MY INTERNET?!" 😅 but the video doesn't lose anything because of it. 💎
Thank you so much for the transparency, this is so helpful. I've known what I want to be doing for so long but kept feeling discouraged trying to navigate the how.
