      @ right! My algorithm has been getting better lately. I honestly think someone/youtuber should do a video on how to use the algorithm to push the contact you really want to see and not just what will grab your attention. I’ve been so much more active at clicking “not interested” in the content that I don’t align with even if i did find it interesting for a little bit.
      If you don’t control your algorithm it’s going to give you stuff that wont be as valuable.
      Anyway, so glad I came across your work. Any recommendations on where to start? I’m so new to exploring my creative side.
      I really like your energy btw. You seemed focused & productive but not a workaholic. I need help transitioning back into self employment in a steady way that doesn’t drain my nervous system again or make me unable to live life fully and for Christ.

    • @hallease
      @hallease  28 днів тому +5

      Yes, I'm quick to thumb down something or say not interested with content so the algorithm can discern what I'm actively interested in consuming rather than that flash in a pan intense stuff.

    I've been doing this UA-cam/Patreon/creator thing since 2017, and I hired a bookkeeper in 2021 to help me sort through all my numbers cause thinking about finances makes me nauseous. My numbers across the board fell quite a bit in 2024, so I've been afraid to look too closely at them. Seeing you present and work through all of your different streams and expenses so openly, precisely, and clearly is really inspiring?? In an odd way? Makes it feel less terrifying to think about, and makes me feel like I can make sense of it all in a way that'll propel me forward instead of sending me into a doom spiral. Thank you so much for this.

Her message to us was since we are winning with life experience, we have a lot to share with the masses. Unfortunately there's a lot of craziness in our world today. Our young people need guidance. Since the younger generation get most of their information from social media, gen-xers say get on these platforms and share their knowledge and wisdom with generations below them. I'm too shy to be on camera.... But perhaps I can share my wisdom in the form of a book. 🙏🏽✨

    This was SO good and helpful, thank you for sharing. And also a bit discouraging NGL, lol - only because you are so talented and good at what you do, and the amount of work (and biz expenses) outside of just creating is something people don't talk a lot about (being our own admin, finance, marketing, IT etc. etc.). It puts a lot of things in perspective about being a FT creator.

    • @hallease
      @hallease  28 днів тому +2

      A lot of my biz expenses (especially the contractors) is because of my production background and the expectation of my production value. I'm essentially a video agency, so if I'm trying to consistently push out "highly produced content," this is what it is. I need to hire help. However, there are so many ways to be a content creator that don't require the level of production that I do, and they are still incredibly lucrative. This is just my journey. It doesn't have to be yours. I watch your content btw, and I enjoy your slow vlogs a lot 🤗 and I'm actually working on a video that mentions you LOL so this is pleasant surprise in my comments

Super important to share stuff like this ESPECIALLY the income-costs =profit. Don’t think most people realize how much it costs to run a business. I’m in a different creative field than you (fine art + illustration) but it’s always interesting what other creatives do. Never realized panels+consulting was a thing for example.

      Not you liking this comment when I meant to come back and delete it. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I appreciate the way you engage with those of us who engage with your content. I used the word discouraging when 'empowering' or 'enlightening' would've been more correct. I think what I initially felt was that if a creative who is significantly more accomplished is grossing an excess of $100,000 and ultimately "earning" $60,000, that someone like myself who has a ways to go actually has WAY more of a ways to go than I may have thought. But I suppose I assumed that was all you could afford to pay yourself when it might be more likely that you pay yourself what you need to and do more long game stuff with the rest.

    • @hallease
      @hallease  28 днів тому +7

      @@kellacanb yes! I prioritize paying myself consistently rather than highly. Other artists are quick to up their salary as their income grows but then the inevitable ebbs and flows of independent work happens and now they CANT pay themselves because the money isn’t coming in like before. I learned early on I’d rather pay myself consistently even when work is slow than have a higher salary. Plus, I fund a lot of my own personal creative projects through my business, and those don’t make money but they feed my soul.

      @@hallease financial structure wasn’t right, but I moreso mean, like, scaling? Do you have content in how you scaled for contractor employees, when did you know you could financially afford the team that handles the backend of your business? I handle all my hats, but I would very much love to someday… take off a hat or two lol

    This was super interesting!! Is it safe to assume the left over $$$ from income-expenses is sitting in a bank account for future expenses or being investing in the business?? Just asking out of curiosity, I don’t have the brain for business ownership at all. ❤

    • @hallease
      @hallease  Місяць тому

      Unfortunately I don't. I will say, though, it's okay to leave and bounce around and meet with a few. Also, decide if you want tax preparation or tax planning. Preparation is they just file for you, planning is them working with you to figure out how to set things up so you pay less taxes. You'll probably meet with them once a quarter to confirm things are going accordingly.
