    I just added a list of the BARE MINIMUM affordable supplies in my description box called Amazon storefront. I've used this camera and tripod since 2018 (with one upgrade) til now to start my channel and earn seven figures. You don't need over $10k in equipment to make a living!! Make this small investment then level up later.

    This is so eye-opening. I have only 60,000 subscribers and earn $4,000 to $10,000 every month in ad revenue. I get about half a million views a month or more. I would have thought that's not enough to attract a brand. Thank you for being so transparent, Kelly.

    Great story, and I am happy to see you are satisfied. Being a TH-camr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Fame- ster of course) will always pay off at the end.

      Yes, I totally agree with you and Kelly. Also, if you start talking about products you already love, without those being sponsored, you'll getting used to promoting products from the beginning. And you can always check if those products have an affiliate program and make some early dollars that way. The sponsorships will come later.

    Kelly, I love when you're being honest and tell it like it is. It's crazy to me that I've busted my ass my whole life to get a high paying "traditional" career, even though my real skillsets and passions were in music and performance. Even though I'm Gen Z I never understood social media and how to succeed on these platforms, and thought the only way I could ever have a stable financial situation was to sell my soul to some company. Thanks to you, and some other influencers, I'm learning there's a lot more to life than grinding for someone else.

It feels to me that people try to outshine you no matter what but what I wanna tell you is this. There are people out there who believe in what you do.

    Thank you Kelly for creating these amazing videos! So interesting to see what everyone else is making. I have just under 10,000 subscribers and recently landed my first brand deal (with a brand I actually like and could see myself representing) - they reached out to ME. ♥To everyone on this path: you got this! Don't give up

    Love both your honesty about what goes on behind the scenes, as well as your pragmatic approach towards working as an influencer/TH-camr (which is what drew me to your videos back in 2020!) Also really appreciate that you addressed the topic of stability - it's reassuring to hear that as someone who recently left a 'traditional job' for content creation.

    I think by ‘privileged’ in the beginning of the video, Kelly, the meaning behind that wasn’t race- or socioeconomic- or any other typical marginalized topic that we see when we talk privilege today. But, more so relating to your good looks and style (according to socially manufactured ideals) - and having a killer personality like you have helps too! 🚀

I have worked with quite large beauty companies and I honestly feel like I have been taken advantage of after watching this.

That was 5 months ago 🤣🤣
