I’m crying with you!!! I’ve been on a really similar journey the past few years so hearing you talk about all of this could not have come at a better time. This is my third time pivoting lol and I’m working on my first video for this channel now. I hope the good feeling I have about this is a sign. Thank you for sharing! It’s so encouraging to see you succeeding!! 💸💸

thank you for your vulnerability and transparency <3 💸

Brielle! I watch you on my *secret* channel that I watch everyone on but had to switch over to this one to comment. This video was simply wonderful. As a wanna-be writer and newly monetised youtuber I cannot tell you how inspiring and emotional this was to watch. It took me 17 years of making youtube videos before I reached 1,000 subscribers on this channel (which I think is channel 6 perhaps?!). I truly needed to hear what you said about pivoting, it's what led me to monetising and think it will lead to more growth. Have a wonderful weekend and best of luck to you, will be supporting you as always 💸

i'm so happy for you, this made me so emotional. +maybe you can use photography and offer aesthetic book cover photography and stuff related to that.

Brielle you are such an inspiration! I truly appreciate your transparency and how open you are about your journey. It is great to watch you grow. Hugs from Spain. 💗

I absolutely loved this. Thank you so much for sharing! 💸💸💸

Aww I’m so happy for you now I’m crying!!

Would love to know more about how to ask or negotiate money with brands. I do quite a bit of brand sponsorships but it’s always the product I trade for the review! Also THANK YOU for being so clear cut about this. This is such a opaque subject with people and I watch a lot of these

I resonate with your journey a lot! I'm at a stage with my channel where I've been making videos for over a year but I'm feeling directionless, and I dont have a (vocal) core audience, even though I'm monetized. You've really cracked the code on getting viewers invested in you - I was recommended one video of yours and promptly watched every other video on your channel. It feels cohesive and episodic. So congrats! You're doing it! ❤

I ABSOLUTELY ADMIRE AND ADORE YOU, BRIELLE! So happy for you and your growth! You did THAT! Hell yeah! TEARS OF JOY🤍🤍🤍 You are a light!

Ahhh, congrats! I can so relate to the optimism and trying so many different things. This is crazy...I've self-published books and started a photography business. Most of my income is still from photography now, but it also helps with making UA-cam videos. Anyway, love hearing your story!

Omg, same about affiliate links! I usually make nothing from it, but I'm excited when I do get a few bucks

I was just thinking today that I wanted to ask for a video on how you balance two channels! This is my second channel, and I can already see it growing faster than my other one did in its first couple of months. I started to just want to focus on this one and basically quit the other one because this is more fun and easier at least for now. But my other channel is still 5x larger for now. I was wondering how you balance going back and forth and what your schedule is like for each. I'm enjoying both of yours, but it seems like a lot of content!

This is so inspiring! Like you, I don’t want to work in a 9-5 job. I have been writing my newsletter for 4 years and I am still figuring it out. But I am having fun!

Thank you for sharing your story Brielle! I'm in the similar journey of making a living from writing. I pay my bills from writing for my client blog and working on my blog too. It's been a long journey but I've never been happier ❤

love love love THIS message! Even when stumbling around in the dark for a little while, we are still learning so much <3 Edit to add: both Katie Wismer and Sarah Sutton are the reasons I started making writing content :)

This is WILD my journey was so similar…except I started photography right out of high school and had to quit my photography buisness because of my health (I have Elhers Danlos syndrome, POTS, and a fainting disorder 😅) I was finally making decent money but it was sooooooo much work. It was pretty high stress especially being stressed about appeasing clients 😭 I’m currently taking a year off and I reallllly want to make the author thing work. I have a few videos in the works but video is new to me lol so it’s taking forever to learn everything. This is so encouraging!!!

i adored how you shared your journey along with the stats. a lot of people don’t realise the ‘pre-work’ it takes to get where you are now!🤍✨ you getting emotional made me get emotional too. bc sometimes i feel myself just get into the momentum of editing the next video and doing the next brand deal that i don’t look back and see how much i’ve grown. something i love about UA-cam is how you have done it all YOURSELF. and my channel, and im sure yours, is something that I am most proud of in my life🥺 thank u for making me realise that Brielle. you’re amazing and super inspiring to me as someone still in law school who (goodness forbid) STILL thinks i desperately need a corporate law job to sustain myself and make my parents proud. im not sure where I’ll end up but i will never stop doing the things I love and that creatively sustain me!🤍🤗 ur seriously so amazing brielle!! congrats 🥳

I love when writers are so transparent about financial info. I'd love periodic updates - even if not exact numbers, percentages or another way to show your growth moving forward.

I've been considering making a pivot to authortube for sometime since I've started writing my book and this has given me even more inspiration to do so! Thank you for your transparency and sharing your story! I can't wait to read your work and see how far you grow 💜

I'm so happy for your success!! <3 I'd love to hear some tips on how you grew your business because I for sure could use some help 💗YOU'RE KIILLING IT AND I ADORE YOU ❤‍🔥🔥

💸💸💸

I love that you shared your story and insights learned along the way. like you with your photography, I banged my head against the wall for years with trying to run & market my handmade product based business. it always felt like pulling teeth to grow it. I’ve always been scared to make youtube videos but it was my favorite, “safe” platform as far as consumption, so using instagram to grow probably was a major error since it doesn’t feel like a comfort platform for me. when I finally started a channel just doing my cozy hobbies I feel like everything just clicked into place for me. I think the reason it can take time to find your niche but when we do what is authentic to us, we can connect with those who are aligned with us and much more “effortlessly”

CONGRATS! Can you make a video abt free writing, planning, and world building resources because I’m a young writer and I can’t afford a lot of programs

You expressed so many things I’ve been going through lately and as someone who is pursuing a creative career in their mid 20s the grind is so real! Thank you for your pov and inspiring words !!

So happy for you!!!! 🎉

I am so dang excited for you and I know you're going to continue to soar! I'd love to pick your brain on your process of getting started and the things you would recommend getting in order for a successful channel (the logistic side of things related to the algo and such)! Or if you have any resources to point me to, I'd greatly appreciate it! <3 I'm looking to start my channel in the coming weeks!

Congrats Brielle, I'm glad I found your channel ❤️

insanely well deserved! thank you so much for sharing this 🥹 congratulations on your growth over the last year. it's only the beginning! 💸

🎧🎧🎧

soso proud of you Brielle! seeing what you are able to do & how you are able to scale your business pouring yourself into it full time for the month of October is SO amazing and beautiful - you are building & creating the life you’ve been dreaming of! not only how much you made but how much you have been able to write and progress as a writer! I am so emotional with you and am already imagining this video in the coming years and seeing book sales factored in! 🥹💓

Brielle, thank you for sharing your journey and the emotion behind the numbers. It's really inspiring to see, especially since I feel like I personally am definitely in the stage of fumbling around in the dark, LOL. I discovered you on this channel, and truly the reason why I got hooked and am still watching is because of the energy you bring to your life and videos. We can FEEL your excitement and joy, and it's infectious! I bet making the pivot to this channel allowed you to be even more yourself/joyful, which I think must have been a game changer for growing connections and a community on UA-cam and beyond! Yay!

So proud of you, Brielle! I've been watching you since the start and loved all of your content! 😊 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

This video made me so emotional Brielle 🥹 You have worked so hard for this and no one deserves it more. I'm so happy to call you a friend! 💸

Thank you for sharing! I've recently started following authortube channels and yours is definitely one of my favorites. ☺👏🏻 💸

I'm so glad I discovered your channel last month. You're truly so inspiring and geniune and just give off such good vibes. Gives me hope that I'll find what I'm meant to do and have the guts and tenacity to pursue it. ❤

This was honestly so inspiring! Thank you for sharing all this, you had me tearing up. I'm so happy for you. Can't wait for you to drop that patreon! 💸

Gosh this video is really so inspiring. I also feel like I’m in a bit of a rut with regular work and life, but UA-cam and creativity and filmmaking is something that is really exciting to me. I’m so inspired to keep working on making it become a reality :)

so fascinating to hear about your path with photography and how you ended up where you are. i LOVE this kind of content!

Oh I loved this so much! Thank you for sharing and how amazing that you found the thread that is activating you!! You briefly talked about Katie, and imma say you are her for me. So thank you! 🙏🏼✨I’m trying to hype myself up every day to have the courage to just start!! 😂🤭

This is EXACTLY what I want to do! I wasn't sure if it's possible to do this, so I'm very appreciative that you put this video together. My little channel is only at 350 subscribers but I'm really hoping it takes off so I can do what you do. Just subbed :)

Omg congratulations on nearly making enough to pay rent!!!!! 💸 It was so interesting getting to listen to your journey in so much detail! I'm fascinated by you having had a channel before this one, because from the outside looking in it really does seem like you grew so fast, it's very difficult not to be a little bit jealous. I'm curious as to how much you attribute this channel growing so well to changing niches on youtube, as opposed to just starting fresh with a new channel after having a bit more experience? I've been making authortube videos for years now, but since my channel was previously a travelling channel and then an art channel after that, I'm wondering if part of the reason it feels so stuck is just because it's so old and all over the place. Do you think the new channel pivot would be beneficial even if I would then continue in the same niche in a new channel? I've been thinking about doing that for ages, but leaving behind all of my existing videos feels like such a difficult thing to do.

Brielle i am SO proud of you! every day i am so glad i discovered this channel and im even more glad i get to watch you achieve your dreams and continue to grow, you are killing it!! keep pursuing what you love, this is amazing!!! ❤💸

As a crier, I got so happy for you when you got emotional. So inspiring to see your growth

This is AMAZING Brielle! As someone who's also been posting on UA-cam for many years, its inspiring to see that you made it to the light at the end of the tunnel! Thank you for sharing! 💸

I love this video! I also recently quit my job to pursue self-employment/have more time for my writing, and you sharing your journey is so appreciated. You're killing it! ☺👏🏻

Congrats Brielle!! So well deserved after all the hard work you dedicated! ✨

Thank you so much for sharing this!!
