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 😊
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‘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.
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!
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.
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!!!!!
PLEASE READ: Darling thank you for your transparency. I’m 62 and want to start my TH-cam channel instead of retiring. I have a partner that is negative about this. He says it’s just a bunch of people selling. I’m an out going exciting person. I think your incredible and I want your opinion on what program I should start with all I have is my iPhone I have and iPad and a dying iMac lol. I want to do this and am very excited ❤ plus I have to show the partner what I want to do will is going to be a success
I too am planning to do this in retirement which is in 4 years and I’ve been spending the last 2 years preparing and learning. I wish you all the luck in the world but your partner’s opinion won’t stop you if you’re serious. If you aren’t using google and TH-cam to go research these answers for yourself, then you’re not going to make it Darling. You have to be able and willing to put in the work yourself.
@@hfortenberry oh I already have my outside office- out of the home and have done several you tube videos years ago. I had to stop to take care of my mom so I sold my camera. I have taken courses and am more than ready to go. Now that I just rented this office outside of the house I’m not worried about what my partner thinks. I’m in my own space now, in my little world. I will be starting with my iPhone I have my lights / my phone tripod came in yesterday. Thank you for your comment and good luck to you 👍🏼
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Veronica Hoy.
Hoy's expertise in customizing investment portfolios based on changing market conditions and personal risk profiles is exceptional. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach, which is crucial in crypto investing.
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.
💙 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?
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!
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?
Wow - I've been watching your channel for a couple years and the fact you're seeing so much success is inspiring! Congratulations! and thank you so much for sharing!
I’ve watched HUNDREDS of these kind of videos - offering help to new content creators! Your channel is hands down the best thank you ❤ when is the membership coming?😊
I really appreciate your income transparency!! As someone who's just getting started on TH-cam 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!! ✨
Revenue/income is the money you bring in from sales of your products and services. Profit is what you keep after paying all your expenses (e.g. payroll or contract workers fees, subscriptions - website, Canva, software, etc. - rent, utilities, taxes, insurance, etc.).
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.
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.
Hi, Katie! Great video. Thanks so much. Question: I was under the impression that Amazon Affiliate links cannot be added to pdfs and are more so for blog posts, TH-cam videos, etc., where everything is public? Is this true?
there's no reason why you can't add them to pdfs - as long as you include a disclosure :) as with anywhere you post your links you need to disclose that they are affiliate links but otherwise, there's no reason you can't put them in a pdf
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.
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!
love this!! so adsense: I know every industry is different but I feel like my industry is somewhat similar to yours and my CPM is $5. I recently got monetized a couple months ago and have been shocked at how low it is compared to others in my industry and similar industries! do you know if that has the potential to change or if something is missing in my content to help give it a boost? :) Thank youuu!
How does Adsense work with TH-cam Premium viewers? As a Premium subscriber, I don’t get ads, so I’m curious how my view is represented, both in the statistics and the income.
As a creator you can see how much of your revenue came from Premium viewers 😀 Looks like more people are investing in Premium because I feel like YT are PACKING in the ads haha!
Congratulations on all your achievements, you deserve all these and so proud of you. Thank you for the inspiration and I’m counting the days til I can join your membership! Any idea when you are launching it?
I’d love to hear about how you run Creatorly Media if you would explain how you operate it as a business model? Thank you. Love your videos and your getting started with the tech list and really helped me
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 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!
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
Super interesting and inspiring. I need to up my game big time on content this year. I'll look forward to learning more about your membership when it comes out.
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?
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.
I am a new TH-camr, 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. 🙏
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!!
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?

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‘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.
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.
Your transparency is so refreshing and appreciated. You are relatable, believable and you make it all seem achievable. Thank you!

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.
I love your content because you are believable and you make everything seem achievable. Helps me maintain motivation.
Absolutely LOVE these transparency videos. Major congratulations, love following your journey!
thanks Kaya!!
A half million year!? Congratulations!!!! That’s incredible, here’s to doubling it in 2024 🎉

I'm surprised that you just mentioned Veronica Hoy here. I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
The very first time we tried, we invested $1400 and after a week, we received $5230. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
Hoy's expertise in customizing investment portfolios based on changing market conditions and personal risk profiles is exceptional. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach, which is crucial in crypto investing.
You trade with Veronica Hoy too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?

Katie, at 14:21, your video glitches for me, losing 6 seconds. I tried it in an iPad and an iPhone.
Same for me!
I love income transparency, thank you so much for sharing!!
You go girl🎉 You work very hard. And you deserve it.
💙 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?
Love your videos Katie! I seriously learn so much even as a creator who’s been uploading to TH-cam for a while. 🎉
awe thank you! i appreciate that 🫶🏻
Girl you are SMASHING IT. Massive respect!!!!
Thank you for sharing this breakdown, it's super interesting to hear
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!
Loved this video! Congrats on higher digital product sales too! 👏🎉

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.
PLEASE do a video on how to actually negotiate a brand deal
Thank you for sharing! Could you do a video about the difference in you revenue and profit?
Revenue/income is the money you bring in from sales of your products and services. Profit is what you keep after paying all your expenses (e.g. payroll or contract workers fees, subscriptions - website, Canva, software, etc. - rent, utilities, taxes, insurance, etc.).
I still have no idea what you sell.
I love the transparency and the financial aspect of this video. Keep doing what you do and I wish you the best!🎉
