    If she makes $400k, why doesnt she hire an assistant to do some of the work for her?? That would only cost her between 50k and free up a ton of time. I think that 400k number may be a bit of an exaggeration.

    Clearly she works hard and good for her. But this video also makes me sad that the world puts so much importance on vanity and vapid jobs like this than say a scientific researcher, a lawyer, a doctor or an engineer like those are bomb as fields and pretty tough to get into and I'd love to see more content focused on shedding light on those careers and the hardwork that goes into it. None of those careers pay big bucks right away starting salaries are only like 70k sigh lol but there's certainly a gurantee that in time you will. I'm an engineer and most of my close friends are engineers or doctors and I can tell you university was no walk in the park and neither is work life but its worth it because you actually are making a difference in the world or saving lives. When my friends and I get together on Friday nights the doctors are either unable to come or always half a sleep because of the ridiculous hours they work. Again I'm not hating but these are the professions that serve as a backbone of society and perhaps I'm just biased but I think it'd be more inspirational to young people. I'm 29 so maybe I'm just too old for this channel, but this particular segment was a bit vapid for my liking.

      As a former engineer, I now disagree. It probably depends on industry, but I was in the auto industry and it was horrible. I felt as though all we did was make a negative impact on this world. I was also an automotive supplier and not OEM, which can be huge. But it was truly awful. Now I blog and freelance write on personal finance. I truly believe the words I put out are now helping people every day. It's much more gratifying than engineering had been for me. I may return to engineering, but at this point it's not in my plan.

    • @wickandde
      @wickandde 6 років тому +30

      Rachel Smith Sorry about your negative experience. But please don't hate Engineering based on your experience, it encompasses far too many important fields and yours and mine are merely a dot within the spectrum. The very building you live in and the streets you drive or walk on. This is all thanks to the structural and civil, storm water and power system and geo tech engineers who think ahead at least 70-100+ years with natural disasters in mind to design complex waterways, sewage systems, power systems, roads and bridges and sustainable transport systems and the maintenance contracts to ensure they're all functioning at any given time. Also not to mention the very device you blog on. And I obviously missed out like a shit tonne of other cool areas of engineering. The point is there's so many of us who make difference in people's lives every single day.

  • @mirrorsandhaze
    @mirrorsandhaze 6 років тому +108

    I would say the 100k followers for $100k in revenue is WAY off. It may be achievable in the lifestyle blogging format but in the makeup industry it’s so saturated most brands are not paying or paying too little for sponsored posts. I mainly account this to younger influencers undercutting themselves with payment and accepting too little for posts. If you want to see your real brand value check socialbluebook.com

    • @LauraReidd
      @LauraReidd 5 років тому +7

      I think it all depends on how good you are at marketing yourself (also agree with you about what category you're in as well), but it really depends on what brands you know personally by either attending events and networking that way or setting up meetings with PR companies when you travel. I know of creators that pitch themselves to brands and are really good at that so they get a ton of deals that way. So even though they have 40k followers they make that a year in revenue. I also know of someone who have 600k on Instagram and makes a million a year because they are always going above and beyond for brands and are in new york for meetings every other week with brands trying to sell herself. Plus her content is top notch. It all depends on how much work you put into it and a bit of luck as well but building up your connections and creating high quality content is how making 100k a year is possible with 100k followers. Defs not easy though haha

    Courtney was a lot of fun! I never see videos about bloggers. It's always about someone being Insta-famous or someone famous for sending out amazing clapback Tweets. Courtney's salary is pretty impressive, but her success also has to do with the fact she loves what she does for a living. Just hanging the colorful back drop took some care. I can't count how many times I am watching a video and the person is sitting in front of some half draped sheet in the background and it's wrinkled. It really is the little things that matter. This was a really cute and informative video! Thx ladies!!

    Courtney is delightful! I think she was featured in an ad for the Microsoft Surface tablet but unlike every other person who appeared in that series of ads, they never put her name on the screen so I was never able to find out who she was.

      ​@@ColorMeCourtney How are you paying 40% in taxes? I'm guessing you are referring to the fact that taxes are 37% on the amount over $500,000 in the U.S. but that is still a far cry from being charged a total tax rate of 40% since taxes are graduated, even when you add in the self employment tax. Anyway, as long as you are happy, who cares if you have a team? Your content is a reflection of you, after all!

      Erin Ashley When your pay isn’t coming from a company, you have to pay your side of the payroll taxes + the payroll tax that would be normally on the business side. That’s probably why she’s paying a higher rate.
