- I'm dropping in for a quick update on 5 of my (actual and future) income streams, for your information purposes!
I talk about:
✅ My art and book sales
✅ RUclips channel ad revenue w/ the RUclips partnership program
✅ Affiliate links
✅ Buy Me a Coffee
✅ A new tool I am making!
If you would like to donate a tip in support of the channel, here's a link to my Buy Me a Coffee page:
Buy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.c...
Thank you so much for your support, whether in this direct way or with your thoughtful comments and attention! It means the world to me! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
if you're doing the multiple-income-streams-thing in your life, which ones are you working on right now? I'm so curious to know! 😀
I think all artists work off of multiple income streams, but I guess I could be wrong🤪.
My current income streams, in order of amount and consistency are:
Private piano and voice lessons
Playing piano for my church
Teaching pottery
Selling pottery
Selling paintings.
I tried to build a RUclips following, but I just don't think I've found the right way to go about it that fits me yet. I actually enjoy editing video, but never feel that confident about making them.
I had a buy me a coffee account, but it felt overwhelming to have to create awards and more content for that as well. It didn't bring in very much either.
I have a website with a store, but I've kind of given up on selling things online... I just don't seem to have the discipline to do all the posting to gather a following.
That's more info than you probably wanted, but I'm interested in watching how you do with all yours.
@@estherljonesdotcomartist5505 Actually that was totally interesting, thank you for sharing your experience, Esther!

Hahaha, Jackie! Yeah!!! :)
I appreciate your honesty and great ideas. I would like to see more of your artwork as you create it. Go Ann!
Eric!!! Thank you so much!
Looking forward to buying your workbook! ❤
The workbook sounds like a great idea.
@@HeyLauraVan Thank you thank you thank you, Laura!
I'm still in the 'creative outlet' phase. But your list gives me ideas for later down the road. 💕
@@AgingOnYourTerms Thank you! Creative outlet is 100% valid and wonderful!!! Making art in any way makes ourselves and our world better, I think! ♥️
yaaaiii workbook sounds fantastic!! I love that idea too!!
@@yznatureza Yay!!!
Congratulations and thank you for sharing all the income list 🙏🏾
@@JasenomadeTV Oh thank you so much, Jase!!♥️♥️♥️
Looking forward to the workbook!
Yay, Tez! 💞
Very much looking forward to watching you paint more, you lefty, you! ❤ In answer to your question, I'm not really working on any streams of income right now that are art related. Hoping to get monetized on RUclips maybe within a year? So hard to set a time frame on that, as I simply don't know what could happen with my channel and when it might happen.😊
So true, Kari! Like, I feel so at the whim of the YT universe. Who knows what will happen? I'm really glad we have this window of opportunity, though...it's very cool that they are intentionally prioritizing us newbies!
@@annelivingstonart I thought I was seeing more small channels in my feed now. I think they really screwed a lot of artists a few years ago. People who had a few 10s of 1000s of viewers were finding that their views dropped precipitously when youtube stopped showing their content to new people and even to their subscribers. I hate how these large tech companies just play with people's lives and livelihoods.
@@bluewren65 Not for the faint of heart. All the more reason for people to start their own communities whenever possible.
Love the workbook idea!! 😀
@@shawnamariefranklinart Yay!!!
I would love to see you make art Anne! I have noticed that a lot of people that started out with art channels on RUclips a few years back hardly make and show their art anymore. They tend to show you how much they are making by telling you how to make money by signing up to various schemes. Some people liken them to pyramid schemes but I don't know if that is the correct term for them.
Currently my 'multiple' income streams are zilch! I need to crack on with my art making and get a website up and running so I can actually have some place to sell it from!
@@SimoneWhippArtist did you see that video that that young person did recently about pyramids schemes and RUclips? I thought that was really interesting.
@@annelivingstonart Yes I did! I think he is on to something there. The 'algorithm' pushes loads of videos on to me that are like carbon copies of how to 'make money from art' but rarely show any art they have sold.
Hi Anne! You’re killing it over there! I’m so glad it’s going well for you over there. Half way there in the watch hours!!! You deserve it and have worked hard to get here.
I’m glad you spoke on buy me a coffee, I’ve seen it in fellow creators description and had no idea what it was about.
Your video quality is pretty great already btw! However a new camera would be fun I’m sure.
I signed up for Amazon affiliate and I either dont really know what I’m doing. I think I may back off. I did a headstand video and I wanted people to know how to buy the bench and also a book I liked. I also think I’ll back off that.
I love the idea of making workbooks!
@@Lifeinthewyldewest thank you, Tracie! I don't think I saw your headstand video. Is it that cool thing where you can put your head in the hole and the cushion things hold your shoulders? I have one of those and I love it! I forget what it's called. I'll go find your video! could use some inspiration to get back into that.♥️
HI! Your time and effort are not "nominal" you can charge more! :) Keep up the good work. :)
@@kristisanse5238 Thank you, Kristi. 💖 when I complete the work I will think about the amount of time it took to make it and try to price it fairly!
Congratulations Anne... I am so pleased for you. You've put a lot of time and effort into your content. Have you considered self publishing your workbook too? Whilst you were talking I was imagining it as a physical, spiral bound workbook.
@@ArtBookNook so, it did cross my mind...and somebody else brought this up as well. I think I'd need to do a cost analysis on that to see if I could afford to do it!😁
@@annelivingstonart Would print on demand work Anne? Do Amazon provide that service? 🤔
@@ArtBookNook I will check it out!
I'm curious about this monetisation thing. If you choose to not monetise your channel, does youtube still stick ads in your videos anyway and just not pay you for it? If you don't monetise, does youtube "punish" you by not showing your content to as many people, regardless of how many subscribers or views you have? The problem with affiliate links is that you have to get in bed with the likes of Amazon, and that definitely would give me the major icks. Again, no judgement on people who do, but personally I would only ever shop from Amazon as a very, very, very last resort.
@@bluewren65 I think ads happen no matter what. but once you have met the requirements then you happen to get paid for a small portion of it. I guess it's possible to not opt in to the partner program and let YT have all the money. I don't think they would punish you for it though!
@@annelivingstonart If they are still going to put ads on your channel then you 100% want to monetise and get some of that $$$.
@@bluewren65 exactly! I am doing the all that actual free work!
Wonderful dear, a small victories!! 🏆🤍🤍
@@AleksdeArt Thank you!!♥️♥️♥️
i love watching your honest videos. good stuff. Have you considered making you workbook into a "zine". FYI - To get a physical zine, I'd pay $15 (including shipping). Something to think about. (bought you a coffee, because you inspire me) @TheresaMuthArtwork :-) Can't wait for more from you!
@@theresamuth9430 oh, that's good to know. I love zines so much! If I can swing it, I'll see if I can do that. Thanks for the idea!
