  • It's been a year since I started a UA-cam channel! I've been focusing on making studio vlogs, art business tips and tutorials for the past year. It's been a lot of work trying to make weekly videos and I've learned A LOT. I wanna share with you what it's been like, what I've learned, getting monetized, HOW MUCH I MAKE ON UA-cam?!
    Gonna try to cover it all and what my journey has been like! Maybe it can help you figure out if you want to start doing UA-cam too :)

    I am an artist and designer from California now living in Sweden. I work full time as a designer while also running my little art business at the same time :) It's a lot of work, but it's been a lifelong dream of mine to be able to share my love of animals, art and creations with the world.

    Thank you for this video! I have just started and definitely noticed how much work and time goes into editing and filming, especially studio vlogs!

      Right!? So much time! I realize in the video I said vlogs take a long time to edit, but this video took me ages. I was super slow :p

    Happy UA-cam anniversary Birdie 🥳 I can relate to a lot of what you said, like the time it takes to edit and the huge learning curve at the beginning. Also to waiting for better lighting 🙈🙋‍♀️I’ve done that too. It’s really interesting hearing how you’re trying to find balance and enjoying the creative side of UA-cam. I’ve also changed my upload schedule to every 2 weeks and I’m enjoying having a bit more time. Something I think about is how I often want everything to be wrapped up in a video and have it like a story with a beginning middle and end. But I’m trying to not worry about having an ending as it can just roll over to the next video. Looking forward to seeing what you create next 💕

    I was in desperate need of a Birdie vid today and as always, it was a calming mood booster 🥰 But I am so glad that you're taking care of yourself. I can't be the only one that doesn't like to see you stressed about making content for us! We want you to be taking care of yourself first and THEN making content for us 😝

    Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. I’ve been struggling with full time work and creating art and UA-cam. It is hard to create the perfect schedule.

    Thanks a lot a lot for the video. It really helps me a lot and encourage me to keep on going on my journey. Especially the part when you say that most people hate to hear their voices 😂💔 I really wanted to start making voice over tutorial video but this insecurity about my voice holds me back, so thanks for the advice 😍💙💙

    • @birdietam

    I loved this video and I related to it so much. I’m trying to get inspired and back into the rhythm of creating and vlogging again - I had let it go when my grandma passed in May and, like you, I didn’t want to film (and still don’t) as I was/am so sad (and I’m sorry for your loss as well). I appreciate you being so open with your experiences and struggles - I don’t feel so alone in all these feelings now. I love how real and honest this is - cause it’s true! And I so relate to putting off painting or creating in order to film the next day due to “lighting”… and then it kills the fun and inspiration. So thank you for sharing - I haven’t watched any artists’ videos since the beginning of May as I’ve been avoiding it all, but I’m happy I stumbled onto yours. :)

      Take all the time you need ❤️ and enjoy the process of creating! I know I sometimes forgot when I felt the stress to film
