This is amazing Anne ❤🎉

Thanks for sharing this! Your insight about it not being an art-focused event makes total sense. I’ll keep that in mind if I hear of friends wanting to sell at these types of events! Are you comfortable talking about what happened with your finger injury? I’ve had my fair share of questionable choices that led to terrible finger cuts myself, so I’m always ready with empathy for people in those types of situations!

I love your honest opinion on how this went for you. It is so nice to see people out and about again. Well done on your growth! The watch hours are killing me over here. Let’s keep at it!

Wow! There were a lot of people! I wish you would have sold more. It’s interesting. I agree with your decision to stick with art based shows in the future. Congrats on your continued channel growth.

Your booth looked so interesting Anne. Such a shame that you didn't get many customers. They were probably too hot to mooch around and just wanted to drink cold drinks! At least it was an experience and you know not to do it in summer time again. I hope you get some time to put your feet up now! 😄

I'm glad you didn't have any loss, but that's a lot of work! Thanks for the info and for sharing!

No way! The cottage I was staying in this last week had a painting on the wall titled '50 Shades of Wales'. I took a photo as I really loved the idea & wanted to do something similar. I'd never seen anything like it before! Now you share your lovely Ballard tote bag design & one from my home town of Liverpool! Thank you for adding to my excitement about doing a project in this vibe! I think they are so beautifully charming.

I'm pretty sure that all the enthusiasm & ideas you have for videos along with your beautiful desire to be of service is a winning combination without having to sign up to anything else. Obviously just my lil' opinion & it'll be interesting to see how your thoughts develop on it but It feels like you have your own community growing here. I will give the videos a watch myself though, as I am interested but gut feeling is you're doing amazingly, just keep going sharing your process & wisdom!x

“So get in on this!!” Made me giggle! Your watch hours are doing great! Trying to work on longer videos myself

Oh gosh. They should have put y’all in the beer garden. Although not great, you seemed upbeat and that’s really what matters. Discouragement for an artist can make life really hard. Your booth looked great and it had so many inviting things! Cheers to artists everywhere getting out there! 😊

I hope the challenge went well? I've been away in Wales so am just catching up with videos, maybe you've said elsewhere how it went. What a beautiful walk you have around you too, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your honest reflections again Anne. I thought your stall looked brilliant x

I've also done a farmer's market a couple of times selling my 3 coloring books and a little book on saving the planet 😂 I can relate to your experience! And took a similar lesson away. Your progress toward monetization looking great! Here for art community 🐱

Great fun video, 5:45 am NY time - Sorry your art show wasn't more profitable. Saw cards for $5- Correct? Just bought a crummy Hallmark for about 8, ever think of having a merchandise link? I haven't figured that part out yet, but something like cards are very easy to mail. Congrats again.

I am definitely in the slow and steady category too when it comes to UA-cam Growth. I am still trying to balance making the art and editing the videos but slowly finding my workflow. I am hoping to find other artists to try some UA-cam collabs with. Congrats on more growth for your channel this week! i am sorry the art booth wasn't what you had hoped for.

Well you’re a trooper for sticking it out in the heat. I’m no beer drinker…so I’d definitely spend my time in the art booths. I was just at the Sawdust Festival…annual art event in Southern California. If you’re ever in SoCal in the summer, you should check it out. Congrats on your continued growth! Cheers to community building!❤🎉😊

Hello Anne. I felt for you in the heat having attended similar events myself. Your channel is starting to gather momentum. Well done!

Your stall looks gorgeous and vibrant Anne!

I love it!!! I hope the whole weekend went wonderfully!

Brilliant!!

That looks great! It works. Would you share where you get your packaging supplies, the cardboard backing and cello wrapper?

Boom! Perfection!

So satisfying to watch Anne!

I don’t really “watch” hardly any videos. I just listen to them while driving or editing photos.

I’m Gen Z and I also hate being funneled or upsold on things! I think one thing we might realize as the younger generation/being more familiar with the internet is so much information is available for free! UA-cam, blogs, or even sites with lower subscription costs (like Medium which lets people self publish articles) are a great to learn new skills without being swindled :) also I think we get so lost in the new tech we forget about old ways of learning like checking out classes at the library or asking friends for help!

Look forward to your videos each week! Thanks for sharing! Planning to start my art channel soon and am enjoying the tips of your journey! Hope your festival goes great!

Great video - very helpful! Why didn’t you use Gamblin cold wax?

Anne! This was such a helpful video!! Thank you for sharing. PS I’d love to see a video on how to remove varnish from a varnished painting too!

I like the perspective angle and the shadow angle of art piece and how you put the colours together.

Slow and steady. Is it possible to ask think media what’s happens to people that go viral before they are ready?

I’ve considered some classes from think media and I felt the same, like they are making money and there has to be a catch. I’m loving to hear about this while you paint. You sound so much like me! Yes same feelings exactly your speaking my mind. I Follow think media because I do believe they know what they are talking about however shoveling out money that I barely have so somebody else can get wealthy isn’t what I would choose to do. I love what I have seen on your channel so far as a new sub. Your art in itself pulls me in and you tell and explain stories that keep me interested. I believe it will come in time. I’m a big believer in the slow go is the long go and the people who find us slow will be the viewers who actually like to watch our videos and will be sticking around. If that makes sense? I believe putting your resources and money into this event is where it’s at. Also curious how next 2 days go.

I enjoyed this! You brought my attention to the think media challenge, and im sort of auditing it w/o the community boards. But yeah, the funnel 🧿 is intense. Dont worry if you cant swing it this time, they have your contact info 😅 im interested in a mutual aid society thats free or low cost in whcih people help each other grow as creatives and in business. YT monetization would be nice but i dont want to depend on it, so ive started an email list and i set up a website with blog, shop, etc ...~ Nan

Hello Anne... It's clever marketing and easy to get sucked in. Fear of loss..! Plus think of the money they are earning just from all the people watching the long daily videos... there is plenty of free information on UA-cam and Ai... You are a new channel, like me, and for what's it's worth, I personally think we can grow with determination and commitment, building our own community... I am enjoying your videos...Thank you for sharing

I’ve been watching the challenge along with you. Interested in a comment you left about changing the name of your channel? They’ve spoken a lot about video titles, but not so much about channel titles. What is making you question yours? Love the painting, BTW.

Anne, I joined that Challenge, and I think they have good information, but If I'm honest, I'm not interested in joining their community. As a GenX, I'm going to bring what I have to UA-cam - consistency, a lifetime of experience, and authenticity. I totally resonate with you about not liking to be sold. Every time I have succumbed to the funnel, I've never gotten out of it. What I THOUGHT I would. Now, I just don't do it. I might take a class or workshop, but I'm not open to being funneled. Have a GREAT festival and let's just create amazing content. I was thinking maybe a few of us who are excited about UA-cam, are GenX, and were inspired by Jen at Silver and Solo could form our own little Zoom chat or something to become our own mastermind group. Just a thought. Beautiful painting-I loved watching and listening.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that while I know from experience what's it like to be funneled, I didn't know that the technique had a name......😏 It was really, really cool to watch you paint while you shared that information!

Hi Anne. Just found you and subscribed. Boomer here and definitely not a fan of being funneled 😂. Just getting myself ready to make the leap with my channel and start posting my art videos, and I really enjoyed this topic. I enjoyed watching you paint. Have a great and successful show. I've done many in my time. Don't forget sunscreen 😂

Hi Anne! I loved to see your painting come together! I must say, at the moment I am getting turned off all the videos people are putting out on UA-cam about getting monetized especially those that don't really have content except about their journey to monetization! I mainly watch UA-cam for art tutorials or about art journeys. I have grown my channel extremely s-l-o-w-l-y and organically over two years and only have about 350 subscribers. I have found it frustrating at times but I do also enjoy the creative aspect of making content and then figuring out how to share it! Let me tell you a not so secret, secret: those channels that seem to explode overnight have paid for digital marketing that is costing at least £50.00 per month. They are literally paying to get seen! I don't have the budget at the moment but when I do and I am ready for explosion that is what I am going to do. Save your time and money. Concentrate on making content people want to see and when you feel the time is right, set aside a budget for digital marketing. 😊

I suspect we’re watching some of the same videos. 🥰 I like this arty vlog. I also like VidIQ’s content and app.

Thanks for the ideas!

Made my 1st Vlog today as a self-taught mixed media artist. Thank you for inspiring me to try vlogging about my channel goals and monetization! I mentioned you briefly and linked to your channel in my video comments.

Hi Anne, you and your channel have such great potential. You can be at the forefront of a powerful movement: helping people rediscover and appreciate their creative abilities. Get ready to be one of the leaders in this new UA-cam era.

Hi Anne. Thank you so much for doing these videos! My friend sent me week 4. It showed up in her feed. I watched that & now I’m going thru them from the beginning. Yes, I’d be interested in downloads of your lists. I have adhd, too, I’m an artist over 50 starting an art biz, and (deep breath) working on being more visible out in the world. :-)

Wow! Your view is amazing!!!

So glad you are doing the ThinkMedia thing! It made such a huge difference for us. It's not magic, and it's not "overnight success," but it gave me information I didn't have and didn't even know I needed, as well as information about some great tools I didn't know existed. I wish I had been aware of it when we first started. My challenge coming up is similar to what you just had: I have three events I need to prepare for and participate in, AND I'm still committed to getting our videos created and posted on time. I'm having to buckle down and be as efficient with my time as possible- which is a good thing anyway, right?

I love the driving home painting! This was so much fun to watch you paint and listen to the process. I love the finished painting.

I tried a new thumbnail look. I personally don’t like it however I hear the style I picked helps draw viewers in😳 we shall see. I love that you are getting your art out there, that’s brave. Well for me it would be brave. My confidence with my art is quite low. I’m excited to watch your art videos.

This walk is gorgeous! The water view! Just stunning. One of our favorite vacations was our time spent in Seattle. I’ve been so consistent however, I have not put in the work you are. That course sounds great. Will you be letting us know how it went? Looks like today is the first day of that class.
