    I'm glad you mentioned the negative people in the comments. Negative comments are a sure sign you are doing something right. Ignore them and go on. The fact that they are engaging in the comments helps the algorythm.

    That was a fun watch.
    I’m a composer, and I’ve been soundtracking my Curse of Strahd campaign as I go. (There’s two other composers I know of who are doing the same for CoS, but all three of us have very different styles so I don’t see that as a problem.) It’s been tons of fun and I’ve made a little money at it so far. I’m hoping to make a bit more as I go on (I’m horrible at self-promotion), but even if I don’t I’ve learned that I’m pretty solid at writing gothic horror music and it’ll make for a great showreel when I’m looking for more work.

      if you change your youtube name to your composer name, people could look you up right now if they were looking for a composer

    $2000/mo (even Canadian) is a little bit more than pocket change. LOL Good on you for your success!

      You forgot his point over three sentences. Even visual aid was provided when he looked over an empty wallet. Good job.
      He straight up pointed out that you're most likely not going to get rich doing this.

      I'd say the real value is monetizing then throwing it investments like real estate, stocks or cryptocurrency.

    Great video! I'm a paid/pro gm who's trying to get into the content creation side of things. TTRPGs are my main (and only) form of income.
    Subscribed, you seem to be someone who definitely knows how to do this properly and I enjoy your editing. Well done, and I hope you keep growing!

    Great overview! So many good thought starters (it's almost like starting points for D&D adventures themselves.) I've been ruminating on several of the options you mention. As far as artwork goes, for the games I run I've turned almost entirely to using AI art platforms like Midjourney, Leonardo, and Idiogram to create everything from battlemaps that look are incredibly realistic countrysides, towns, and underground complexes that look like they were shot from a drone. And, for my players, I'll come up with customized profile images for their character sheets and tokens (we play almost exclusively online, so to be able to import cool token into Roll20 and other VTTs really personalizes the game. Now I just need to take the leap to see if these are offerings that people are interested in paying for!

    great to hear for someone who is starting to want to make videos. lately I've been wanting to make those AI story videos with game content in the background but doing it all myself- recording minecraft parkour gameplay, writing a short story or something from my friend, recording myself narrating it - and seeing if i have fun

    God i despise the words "side hustle". The correct terminology should "dystopian need to work multiple jobs monetize everything under capitalism."
