Isn’t it great when you get excited about a new skill? This week has been a down week for me. I’m still recovering from the fast-paced momentum I was experiencing when I was teaching AND creating content. So I guess I’ve allowed June to be my “recovery month”. I haven’t created as much in terms of video. I needed some time to get centered and in vacation mode. I’ve been learning about script writing for educational videos as well as ways to monetize beyond Adsense. My creative brain REALLY needed some rest. lol. An idea for you… Consider doing a LIVE video where you are teaching some art concepts. The LIVE hours don’t count toward Watch time… but the replay hours do! That’s a great benefit because if your live is an hour long tutorial and people watch even 10 minutes of the replay, you’re getting 10 min watch time PER viewer as opposed to maybe 1.5-3 min per viewer. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Anne, I would keep the titel that is popular with a similar picture every week for the Challenge. That makes it easier for people to discover them and separate them from your regular videos. At least that is what I am going to do after researching YT...follow what is popular. It's easy to change thumbnails and it avoids overload. Meanwhile, keep going...that's the only way to go 💙

One of the things I did that I found VERY helpful was something I was somewhat skeptical of at first. It's a free online course. Five days of daily live videos, where you can comment and ask questions. A separate forum where you are given challenges and encouraged to meet them. A lot of the information they discussed was very useful to me, and my channel has, in fact, grown tremendously since I started doing some of what they suggest. This includes publishing one video that did so well that it, alone, reached the watch hours required for monetization, and brought in thousands of new subscribers. This was after three years of regularly posting and being "stuck" at a fairly low level of engagement. Some of what they are doing is promoting their paid course, and I understand that. I chose not to do the paid course not because I didn't think it would be useful, but because I felt like I wasn't really at the right place for it, as far as my goals and available time. I have been watching to see when they offer the 5-day thing again, and they just announced it, so I've come over here to let you know about it. courses.seancannell.com/youtube-1k-challenge-sign-up-july-2024 The daily videos begin on July 8. If you are unable to attend them live, you can watch a recorded version later, as long as you've signed up for the challenge. These five videos gave me a good list of things to work on and improve, and a better understanding of how some things work, as well as some great online resources that I hadn't ever considered because I didn't know any such thing was available.

I love your 'loose' paintings. Your loose is clear and crisp to me. I used to associate loose with sloppy after a watercolour tutor I had used to splash paint all over the place. I do like a modicum of self control! 😂 Setting a timer is such a good idea and I like the bonus idea too! 😍

I love colour and the endless combinations that can be made with it! You have excellent presentation skills. I can't wait to see more of you on TH-cam Anne! I am definitely going to try out a slow colour studio book. 😍

This is such a good idea! I have notebooks full of writing and sketches buy NOT of colour! I really want to give this a go as colour is one of the most important aspects of my art. ☺

I like your laser beam focus! 😁 I am looking forward to seeing your monetizing journey as well as your art! I would love to monetize my channel and am going to soak up all the information I can from watching other monetizers! ☺

I love the dancing at the beginning! I really like your style of art work. The table looked so professional and cohesive. I would add one extra tip (you probably do this already) and that is when you have all your table set up, before you pack it away remember to take a photograph so that you know where to put everything when you set it out again. 😊

Great suggestions! Thank you for sharing, Anne!

Thank you for this Anne! So many places that I have never thought of before! Your art is wonderful! 😍

Hi! Just wanted to support you! ❤ your channel. I was an art major in college

I love these practical tips. I have done one group show and have my work in a vending machine of all places. I'm working to build a large enough collection to do another type of show. These were good ideas to percolate on!

"Painting with as few strokes as possible" - love it ❤️

What a BEAUTIFUL new space!!! Will dm you on IG for more info to visit the collective! That’s one thing I’m currently keeping my eyes and ears out for… more buildings to host my yoga parties! It’s been the biggest challenge so far.

I wish I could live closer to you so I could come and see all your artwork! The ideas in this video are amazing. And great to see the cards at the end of your video! That, for sure, will help. Remember you can still do that too on your old videos now 😉

So many great ideas Anne! Thank you so much for sharing that with us. You Rock ! 😉

I love these ideas. I've been wanting to do some pop-ups locally this summer...

Oh, I love now you started from home. I was not expecting that. Such solid down to earth advice 🌟 Like yours, my home is full of art from friends that I love, but I have also recently added a few pieces of my own. It felt like a bold move so hopefully I'm on my way to adding more & thus actually showing people my art! Also, no 8.. Please keep in the footage of your studio. It was lovely to see where you work alongside others. Is this collective still together? I'm part of a project that brings together artists, healers & small businesses too so I'm really interested in what you've done together x

What an excellent video!! Great job piecing this together! Fantastic! And I LOVE that you are speaking extemporaneously and looking into the camera at the end....as opposed to reading a script just slightly off camera. You seem soooo comfy now. I enjoy listening to you. It was so much fun seeing the various spots that you have held pop-ups. And I loved that you kept the little snippet of your studio space in the co-op in the video and didn't delete it.. It was neat to see. Your art is superb. This was a stellar piece. You really did fabulous editing. I am about to start a channel and I amtrying to figure out how to narrate like you did over top of a series of photos and videos. You have inspired me to try and figure it all out.

Hello Anne! I'm on the same journey as you and I think you're doing great, so keep up the good work! We're all learning as we go. Overcoming the discomfort of being on camera was a huge thing for me and that journey is ongoing.... baby steps :) I'm enjoying watching your journey. BEST OF LUCK!!

I’ve never used that varnish. I love the way it went on. Thanks so much for sharing.

On affiliate sites, blick runs theirs through Commission Junction. I applied after I had about ten videos on my channel reviewing products or showing them in use, and got approved very quickly. So when you're making your list this is a good option to add.

Anne, I just posted my videos on the new channel. As you wanted to be informed when I started, well here it is.... Stress 😍😀

It’s SO exciting watching those numbers go up on the charts, isn’t it? I’m having a similar thing happen, and it’s pretty encouraging. Makes me want to keep at it!

Funny…I found silver and solo inspiring, too! I love you! You’re doing amazing!!!!

Thank You 🙏🏾

I am interested in other art affiliates that you are considering! Would you like to reply or swap email addresses to chat about this topic? Thanks, Anne!

You're so wonderfully authentic & I'm so grateful of your transpanency. I'll be interested to have a little look at the products you recommend.

Hello! Super to have found you as YES I have recently started to take my TH-cam channel more seriously [in a fun way] so thank you for sharing your journey and learnings!

I’m going to take my journey on TH-cam as a turtle. Slow and steady. I think you are doing great. 😊

Way to go! Anne 😄

You're doing amazing 🎉🎉🎉 but I understand that feeling one gets at one point of Wow this is so time consuming. And being obsessed until one day I'm not anymore lol. Moving platforms gets ridiculous, trying to bring followers along from other sites, but it's necessary. I have a website, too, also on squarespace, and it's on my list to set up a store ... I try to stay away from anything Amazon so affiliate program is a no for me.

Some great information!! I was wondering about the Amazon Affiliate Program. So glad to grab some pointers from you 😊 Ever do ATC’s? Just wondering. Something quick & fun 🤩 Never gotten around to it myself, but seen so much wonderful work from others. 💜💙💜

Obsessed…I understand that. I think I understand it as “special interests.” So when I uncover a new special interest, I dive ALL THE WAY IN! 😮

I like how you developed the perspective.

I agree with you. Being GenX and doing TH-cam is challenging to our cultural ethos. But… I think we need to be here.

It is our time! Let’s do this! 🎉🎉🎉

I’m posting sucky videos too! Go us! I was so glad to find you.

Fun!🎉🎉🎉

Love the colors! Orange and green are my favorite! ❤😊

Tracing paper definitely has a place in art!

Hi Anne! I’m also following Jen’s monetization videos on Patreon. I appreciate your videos so very much! I have created space for two channels, but have yet to get past my block of actually turning on the record button. I’m an artist and retired educator (sounds familiar?) Your idea of being of service truly resonates with me. I also feel that this is the time for women such as we are to get involved and support each other!

As a personal friend, I can confirm that Anne is THE BEST CHEERLEADER!!!! She will 100% cheer you on if you ask her to. It’s totally one of her superpowers. ❤

Great video, and any tips for setting up popups in the region? And do you try to get them in local media

I also have a weird relationship with money 😂 thanks for saying that 😊 great video thanks for talking about these topics

I would personally love a video on shoe painting! What kind of paint to use? Is there a type of shoe or shoe fabric that is better?

Mesmerizing 🤩

I used that when I was young to make nice drawings, hahaha 😎
