Wow I’ve never seen such an informative, detailed, and transparent video on how creators actually make money on this platform. You are truly one of a kind Tay Bell! 🙏🏻💪🏻
Taylor … Canadian corporate guru here! I echo people’s sentiments about the set up of your content - impressive! Curious to know if you have to structure in (purchase) insurance coverage, specifically for your future consulting income stream? This class of business (as we refer to it in Canada) would be referred into a speciality market to be underwritten by a carrier. Curious about this over head cost and what insurance carrier would offer. Cheers!
What i would love to see is a day in the life breakdown. Like from the moment you wake up, all the planning, shooting, editing, replying to emails or whatever you do, and how you structure your day. I feel like normal people just assume YT'ers have a shit ton of free time and they don't actually work a lot. And timestamps would be extremely helpful too.
Yesss, this! I’m working my way towards full time CC while working a corporate job, PLUS I have ADHD and time management problems. I’d love an example of how you organize everything and get things done 🙏
@TaylorBell would also love this video but keen to see if you outsource any of your activities like video editing and if so where you found them, at what point in your journey you did that and how much it costs.
Great video, so transparent. I thought for sure your most viewed video would pay WAY more though. I definitely guessed a number 2x what you actually made 👀
Hey, I follow u and Taylor. And u two are the only "money" UA-camrs I follow I mainly watch NFL and music videos so it is odd to me to see u on Taylor's channel 😀😀
Finally, someone who can thoroughly explain UA-cam revenue from top to bottom so the layman can understand, thank you!! Love your channel, thank you for being you, have a fantastic tomorrow, see ya next time.🤪
There’s a remarkable level of thoughtfulness within what you present while still being to cover and simplify complex topics, Taylor. That personable demeanor you have really reflects into your presentation and success here on UA-cam. Congrats on 400k subs!
Thankyou so much for being os transparent about your revenue streams and income. Not a lot of creators talk about their finances transparently . Kudos for 400k subs!
To answer your question, I'm definitely interested in a video about what a work day for a content creator actually looks like from start to finish! Obviously it will vary from day to day, but when creators say they have a busy work day, I'm always wondering what it entails -- answering emails for hours? writing scripts? filming? editing? researching a company that reaches out for a sponsorship? Like how long do these things actually take, and is it a 40-hour a week job? Or would you say it generally takes less (or more) time each day than a typical corporate job? I feel like most creators (at least the ones I watch) are vague about this, and I have really appreciated your transparency on various topics in previous videos!
Amazing video. I also think that being a UA-camr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of Famester of course to help) will always pay off at the end. Good luck to everybody, you will all succeed one day!!
Was it actually a spatula that you used for pointing on whiteboard 😂? Okay questions 1) I get the pie distribution. But, is the diameter of the pie (total cumulative income) increasing? 2) If UA-cam revenue depends on view , can't anyone just mislead by clicking their own videos repeatedly or maybe asking their closed ones to do so just to increase views?
@@shayakghosal7456diameter of pie is increasing! Still not quite as large as before (I.e, I haven’t made up the full amount of my consulting income yet) but well on its way :) and 2) i think UA-cam has a control for that / bots, but not totally sure
I have watched at least seventy videos over the last five years covering this exact topic and when i say no one I've watched has actually given figures WITH CONTEXT when it comes to brand deals, I actually mean NO ONE. It's always, "some brands can pay you six figures, it depends." The end. So thank you very much Taylor. Thank you. Lowkey not a fan of comments like this exact one I'm writing because i used to think, "how much research did you (the viewer) actually do?" but I swear I was waiting for some workaround to not mention figures but it didn't happen! and I have to appreciate it lol. Honestly thought it was illegal at some point with how discreet everyone was being.
Your transparency on "taboo" subjects is amazing and respected! Not only do I love watching your informative videos, but your vlogs are just as great, too! Hope you have an amazing weekend!
As a UA-camr in tech, I just want to say what Taylor said was very on point! Really like your personal brand and content. Hope you see more of it coming 🙌
Some ideas for future videos: 1. Insider Panel: Consultant, Banker, PE/VC Analyst talk about their jobs and lifestyles. 2. Home Buying Plans: How would you approach buying a home? If not NY, CA, then where? 3. Coworking Spaces: Showdown
Video idea im interested in: how NYC helps you as an entrepreneur and how you meet other creatives/entrepreneurs Thanks for the detailed info in this video Taylor!
I am not a creator, but I love these types of videos. It’s really refreshing when someone shares their income streams. And I work with college freshman through college seniors with a variety of majors, but in a college of business, and I love to be up to date on potential Careers or just side hustles or other income streams for them. Good luck, girl!🎉
Informative, but not very transparent. The title says $300k and she doesn’t get into the details of how much per year she makes and also (more importantly) how much she made in consulting!! Additionally, she doesn’t address that when you work full time you get 401k match and health insurance benefits, something you would need to do on your own if you are a small business owner. For example, with a consulting company job health insurance cost would be ~$300 but as a business owner in NY it would be ~$1,200 / month for the same quality insurance. My overall issue with this video is that it is a little misleading to young kids out of college who think that they came make $300k++ doing videos and leave there corporate jobs prematurely. Also, I like Taylor for her honesty, but this video is not as transparent and detailed as her other videos.
That’s was an elaborate and well explained video ..Thankyou Taylor for taking an initiative to brief the process and the reality behind the UA-cam income generation!
Thanks for putting this one out Taylor! Brand deals are definitely super opaque and as a newer creator myself it's pretty intimidating figuring out what deals are worth pursuing / are considered "fair". Also, love how you've mastered the art of subtly inserting sponsorships into your videos in a fun and creative way 🙌 Best of luck from another BCGer!
Taylor, I wouldn’t be surprised if business school recruiters don’t come knocking at your door to join their faculty. You might not do it now but it could be in your future! 😊
Love how you broke the video down. You content is always well thought out and you even make finance entertaining. I know most or 60% of the new content will be content on finances and but HOPEFULLY the other 40% will still be the fun lifestyle content the “how much i spend in a week”, random NYC videos about cool stuff to check out and the big one the Katz Experience vlog post when it eventually happens. Hope you’re enjoying the post consulting life as a full time creator. Kudos as always for another informative yet entertaining vid…Go Turtle Gang!
I started following you around 2 years ago when you had around 16K subscribers...and now it is phenomenal 400+. Congratulations Taylor and thanks for all the awesome videos.
I really love your perspective on finance. I know very little on the subject and you explain it in such a user friendly way! Honestly if you took more confusing finance topics and explained them that would be amazing! For example, topics like investing in different ways, credit card debt, etc Also, love seeing your lifestyle videos too, your personality really shines! People will watch what you do because you are genuine and brave enough to put yourself out there!
I would love to hear more about your time breakdown for the planning, prep, filming, and editing process! Especially how you managed it while working full time and if that has shifted now, or if you are planning on posting more, or just enjoying having some free time now!
To be honest, I'm not interested in content creation or youtube income possibilities. But I love your charisma and presentation so much, that I can watch you telling about basically anything and still enjoy! I don't miss almost none of your videos, because you you "infect" me with your confidence somehow. Thank you!
I'd love to see a video on how you start (how many videos do you have ready before starting, do you show them to your friends&family before posting, how to you test interest of the audience before even having one), how you build a community, what are the top 3 key things to be aware of/not to miss when you start, thankssss
Thank you for the insights Taylor ! Amazing video ! Can you make a video on how to overcome the fear of starting out on UA-cam ? How to increase productivity in this context as well ? Thanks !
Thanks for the info, Taylor, awesome stuff! The bloopers were fun too! I'm still pretty small as a content creator but as I grow my channel this will help. Thanks so much!
I'm a fan of your "Day In The Life" videos, but whatever topic you cover, I'll be watching. UA-cam has replaced regular network TV for me, and content creators like you have become my go-to for entertainment. Thank you, Ms. Taylor Bell!!!
Thank you for sharing those thoughts! Can you make a video of how much time you spend on your full time creator and how much time you actually rest and live your life
"Not too shabby!" Taylor for making $300k+ a year as a Creator! Thanks so much for the transparency. You made the whole 'youtube creator lifestyle' digestible. I've watched way too many videos on this topic by other creators and they just complicate it, making it overwhelming for any newcomer to get a head start.
Thank you for lifting the curtain a bit on how money is made by content creators. It was pretty much abracadabra for me. I came here after watching a video from Rick Beato (the guy who interviews famous and respected musicians) on what musicians make on a million or even a billion streams. That is a lot less transparent.
Great explanation Taylor. I click immediately whenever I see you in the subs feed. Your enthuasiam is contagious and immediately draws one in. Best of luck with the diversification project.
One of the most neatly detailed videos I've ever seen from content creators. I might not fully understand it, but I can see its A LOT of work behind the scenes. Kudos to you!
Ok, I finished working so I got to enjoy the video. What to say, it’s not that often you get to see a video done so thoroughly. You come a long way since your first nyc apartment and videos. I can’t wait to see you shine in the next chapter of your business career! The road to 1M turtles is long but in sight! Well done Tay
Hey Taylor, been loving your videos since the beginning of the channel! It’s great that you’re big on transparency and go straight to the relevant stuff. I would personally love to see some videos on investing and how you grow that slice of the pie + always love to see some nyc videos as well 😊
If 24% makes up your investment appreciation annually, assuming 300K annual income, that’s 78K a year in investment returns. Assuming an annualized return rate of 20% (which is pretty high) you must have invested 390k? (Possibly more) If the above is right, for being in your twenties that’s amazing! Congrats on that aspect too
I founded your channel 2 years ago because of my interest in consulting and I've been following since then. So I'm happy that you will continue in the consulting world in your own way. Answering your question I would like to know: 1. how you will carry out the consultancy with your clients? 2. For those who cannot yet pursue an MBA, what short courses or diplomas do you recommend taking? You mentioned something about marketing, could you make more videos where you talk about specific areas we need to focus on, either to provide consultancy or that organizations should implement?
I'd really love to learn what influences, resources, turning points, etc. you were challenged by and benefitted from between your time at Warton to today! Also, a question that I ask my working friends to get introspective is: How do you define success? Thanks for all you do, Taylor! Great stuff!
I'm a little bit late to this video, I was busy, but if it's not too late, I would like to suggest one idea for a future video: "How to distinct scam email from bussiness email, expecialy as a small creator?" Turtle out 😄🐢
Your background in consulting is a true strength for your channel, this is the most concise video I've seen about youtube income streams. No doubt you will do well with a clear plan in mind
You asked for input for future videos: Please keep somewhat of a business/finance focus. There are *so many* New York lifestyle vloggers, your consulting background and business insights are what make your videos stand out in a good way. Just my opinion. Best of luck!
I’m with you! I have pushed my comfort zone to create and publish my videos and I still have a lot to learn. Taylor did an amazing job explaining revenue! Best of luck!
@DANDJREACT no arguments. That's how it works. Are you super young and inexperienced? Perhaps sheltered? Not a world traveler with 26 countries behind you to prove the theory? Nonsensical media educated? I don't know, but if you had a debating point, then say it so I can correct you publicly. Nature, semetry implies good health, less deformity, better selective breeding, beauty, culture, survival, worth and worthiness, all luck, the poor odds of, the human interest in things that move and things that seem rare, high value as an impression of perception. Then, an accident and a face is deformed. The hay day is over. Human Apes are fickle and feckless. Suck it up, buttercup.
I've just really started working my UA-cam for the past year, as more than a hobby; person on a mission, energy. I've watched a lot of How-To advice videos and this has been the best, most straight forward. This is my first time seeing you and I can tell I can learn a lot from you about Vlogging. Thank you! Very entertaining, educational and kept me engaged til the end.
Thank you for this transparency! I always love to see behind the scenes videos: what products you use / things you invest in for better content/ things you'd do differently ❤
Super cool video, I'm definitely a fan of yours now! I just also want to comment on your presentation skills and explaintions in your videos. 1. Super impressive! You took what would normally be a super boring power point given to me, and turned it into a fun whiteboard / kitchen utensle attention grabber. I have really bad ADHD and I legit didn't zone out once. That says a LOT. 2. The way you explain things and present them verbally / visually is also really impressive. It's very noticable that you take this seriously. Beyond that though is just your sheer talent. I think you found your calling for sure! Lastly, You've really given me a reason to look into becoming my own content creator. I've worked 24 years for the big man and I'm really burnt out from it. If I do decide to hop into this work, I really believe this video will help me succeed, so thank you!
Investing in context skills. Eccomarnce marketing slases is key to become. MILLIONair then billoin is ecccnoimcks if U want to become a billionaire need to network offer value via value. G this is so much knowledge from a billionaire I give u
Funny this came out today... My wife and I discovered your channel literally last night and watched your speakeasy video and your new apartment tour video, and we were talking about the financial side of being a UA-camr. Then you came along today with the answers, right on cue.
It's always motivational and some sort of pride that I feel when I see other people chase their dreams and get to work on what they love. I've been in the same boat with a software company ive started on the side. But always love to root and wishing you all the best it's crazy how much you've grown Taylor and keep pushing and making the world a better place. You bring smiles to thousands of people can't wait to see what you cook up in the future.
Video Idea : An realistic introspection into your life as creator. Like how you work? How you get creative energy? How you recharge? Day in the life + Deep talk in the same video. I like these type of videos. Plus : I really love the way you make video. You calm me down. So thank you.❤
I would like to see a video on how you budget for stuff like food/groceries, toiletries, clothes, travel, rent, etc. when your income is so wildly different each month/year.
I love youtube analytics- showing highest viewed video each month, highest income video, views per day -highest day for each video. evergreen videos, etc. Cathrin Manning used to do them monthly and i loved it. She does not do them anymore….so a void could be filled.
Thanks - very comprehensive. Lots of opportunities if you find a popular niche and passionately work at it. The great thing about YT is that it has now become the "go-to" approach to "almost" every conceivable human activity from properly hanging drapes to educational pieces on feeding goats. Continued best wishes for a solid career - and - even more important - a Happy Life!
Hey Taylor! I really enjoy your videos, never miss a single one. Since you asked your viewers for suggestions, I'd really like to see content on life in NYC (such as the one you made on speakeasies). It's entertaining and educational to learn more about what is possibly the most famous city on earth!
Thanks for this amazing video Taylor-you are authentic, funny and very eloquent! I would love to know how many times a week you make videos… how long it took to start getting brand deals and how many subscribers you had at that point? Also, how you learnt to present so well in front of the camera and do you use scripts? Would love to see how you make the brand ads using lighting, all equipment etc.. thanks again for your inspiration!
I remember watching your early videos while I was in the process of deciding whether or not I should get an MBA. I'm now almost in the middle of my MBA journey and watching your post-college* journey as a consultant and entrepreneur has been nothing short of inspiring! Absolutely loved this video :) Maybe another form of content you can try your hand at could be new york vs california, resources that helped you grow in a space (ie UA-cam) that isn't very conventional, more vlogs maybe (day/week in the life of a creator), etc.! Looking forward to more awesome content from you 🎉
Taylor didn't earn an MBA. She got BS in Economics at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. She did a vid breaking down her course work.
Hey Taylor, great video! Loved the brand deal process breakdown, I've never seen that before. You mentioned investing a lot, so I'd love to see a video breaking down your approach to investing, where you go to learn more about it, and what your plans are for investing in the future (Plus the investment brand plug doesn't hurt.) Also, unless I missed it, you didn't mention why you don't like brand deals taking up so much of your revenue pie, unless it's because it isn't truly passive income. Such an interesting channel, thanks for the video!
Hi Taylor, I always feel blessed to be on your Channel ❤️ I'll be 35 this year. I really wanted to know how to be happy, glowing, and keep going like you 💘? I know it's not the perfect question, but still I really wanted to know. Question 2. Do you see there's a room for a Small Scale Consulting Business, if I open it? I think it's a good idea 💡 to make a separate video on it. I can understand it might be stressful for You as you came out of it and didn't like it. Take Care 🤗 God Bless You All 💓
Definitely would like to see your process for making videos. From the idea generation, to the planning, is it scripted, how you film things, how you edit, how you come up with thumbnails and titles, storytelling, how long everything takes, etc.
Taylor! So awesome to see you grow from when I first started watching a few years back! I love the lifestyle videos, and would also would love to hear more about finances (both personal and business)!
I really like the informational videos, but I love when you just go around NYC, even if it is just to the park o something like that. Touring apartments for kicks is great too
Honestly, you´re the only creator from who I enjoy the good old commercials. I mostly skip them from other creators *cough* It´s so refreshing to see someone being so open about this topic and the income. I´d be interested if you work alone of have a Management and how a Management might influence a creators decisions.
I’ve watched dozens of these monetization videos from some of the absolute top creators on UA-cam and learned nothing. This has been one of the most informative videos on the subject and I genuinely learned a lot. Thanks so much, Taylor. 🙏
YESSSS This is exactly the video I need now that I'm wanting to become a creator. Thank you it's hard to find information like this put so clearly. Would love one that's beginner friendly about setting up accounts, banks, etc. for becoming creator. Like a simple walk through because as easy as it sounds there's almost no good tutorials online. Thnx Taylor keep it up!
So great to hear an honest insight in your way of "former consulting firm consultant" style, hear hear! 😊And if you ask what content do I want you to make in the future, I would love to see how a content creator does her time management and day-to-day life as an content creator (esp yours!) keep it up Taylor! ❤
Amazing content, thanks so much for breaking it down. I'm just about to hit my one year anniversary as a UA-cam creator and was monitized in January. The analytics regarding monetization and other related revenue streams can be a bit overwhelming and you did a great job dissecting them. Keep up the great work!
I'd love to see a video about what a work day for a content creator actually looks! Do you answer emails or calls all day? How do you plan your videos? How long does it take you to write a script, film, and edit a video? What is your filming setup (lights, audio, video equipment)?
You are one of the most intelligent content creators. I am searching for useful information created by clever people. You are one of the best, congratulations! Just please keep carry on like this for as long as possible.
As a beginner UA-camr, your videos are amazing resources for me to learn about the potential of this platform and how to thrive on it!! I literally had to take notes on this video because you were sharing so many valuable insights!! Thank you so much for your transparency and I cannot wait for more🥰
I would love a video with more detail on your investment strategies. A similar breakdown (pie charts included!) for your investments would be so helpful.
Wow I’ve never seen such an informative, detailed, and transparent video on how creators actually make money on this platform. You are truly one of a kind Tay Bell! 🙏🏻💪🏻
Hell yeah, that's all I could hope for. Thank you so very much 😊💪🏼
Ali Abdaal used to do a very transparent run down of what he’s made on UA-cam. But now he’s making so much I think he’s a little more quiet about it.
Taylor … Canadian corporate guru here! I echo people’s sentiments about the set up of your content - impressive!

Right, you can see the consultant in her coming out.
What i would love to see is a day in the life breakdown. Like from the moment you wake up, all the planning, shooting, editing, replying to emails or whatever you do, and how you structure your day. I feel like normal people just assume YT'ers have a shit ton of free time and they don't actually work a lot. And timestamps would be extremely helpful too.
Awesome, noted
Yesss, this! I’m working my way towards full time CC while working a corporate job, PLUS I have ADHD and time management problems. I’d love an example of how you organize everything and get things done 🙏
I'd like to know how many hours per week you dedicate to content creation. It would be good to know vs. your corporate job.
@TaylorBell would also love this video but keen to see if you outsource any of your activities like video editing and if so where you found them, at what point in your journey you did that and how much it costs.
I love the fact that your pointer is in fact a spatula. A spatula is actually really cool.
I like that word ‘spatula’ it can me said like that or as spÂ-Tula. Similar to the word gondola or gon-dola. It’s fun with words.
Spreading the information! 🤣
I love the spatula
Same here!
Great video, so transparent. I thought for sure your most viewed video would pay WAY more though. I definitely guessed a number 2x what you actually made 👀
Thanks Big H! And YEAH agreed. Interestingly the number of monetized playbacks it has is MUCH lower than the total viewcount
Hey, I follow u and Taylor. And u two are the only "money" UA-camrs I follow I mainly watch NFL and music videos so it is odd to me to see u on Taylor's channel 😀😀
The very best results of your education is..........finding your true identity and with confidence and planning being you. So many don't.
Couldn't agree more. Thank you
Your an Artist, it's that simple.
and part of that "education" is ongoing throughout our lives IMO.
Finally, someone who can thoroughly explain UA-cam revenue from top to bottom so the layman can understand, thank you!! Love your channel, thank you for being you, have a fantastic tomorrow, see ya next time.🤪
I gotchu!!
There’s a remarkable level of thoughtfulness within what you present while still being to cover and simplify complex topics, Taylor. That personable demeanor you have really reflects into your presentation and success here on UA-cam. Congrats on 400k subs!

She's making money off making videos on how she's making money
I’m sooo addicted to your videos. It’s a combo of excellent content + your tone of voice.
Was it actually a spatula that you used for pointing on whiteboard 😂?

As soon as she taped 2 hand written notes on the white board and pointed at it with a spatula I knew I'd watch till the end😂
That was the most indepth and transparent I've seen on the subject, especially when it comes to brand deals. You are swag Miss Taylor Bell
great vid Tay!! Also congrats on 400k+ subs!!!
THANK YOU sm!!!
To be honest, I'm not interested in content creation or youtube income possibilities. But I love your charisma and presentation so much, that I can watch you telling about basically anything and still enjoy! I don't miss almost none of your videos, because you you "infect" me with your confidence somehow. Thank you!
As a baby youtuber, I appreciate how informative and clear you are. Also your silly humor. I love it. ❤️
Loved how you incorporated your consulting presentation skills into the video. Simple and easy to follow. Great Job!!!! Congrats!
I'd love to see a video on how you start (how many videos do you have ready before starting, do you show them to your friends&family before posting, how to you test interest of the audience before even having one), how you build a community, what are the top 3 key things to be aware of/not to miss when you start, thankssss
Thank you for the insights Taylor ! Amazing video ! Can you make a video on how to overcome the fear of starting out on UA-cam ? How to increase productivity in this context as well ? Thanks !
The spatula is such a nice anachronism in a virtual world. Thank you for explaining the financial side in such an easy way.
Thanks for the info, Taylor, awesome stuff! The bloopers were fun too! I'm still pretty small as a content creator but as I grow my channel this will help. Thanks so much!
I'm a fan of your "Day In The Life" videos, but whatever topic you cover, I'll be watching. UA-cam has replaced regular network TV for me, and content creators like you have become my go-to for entertainment.
Thank you, Ms. Taylor Bell!!!
Thank you for sharing those thoughts! Can you make a video of how much time you spend on your full time creator and how much time you actually rest and live your life
"Not too shabby!" Taylor for making $300k+ a year as a Creator! Thanks so much for the transparency. You made the whole 'youtube creator lifestyle' digestible. I've watched way too many videos on this topic by other creators and they just complicate it, making it overwhelming for any newcomer to get a head start.
You are amazing for covering this. Hooray for transparency!
Awww thank you. I would’ve liked to see this when I was first starting so hoping it’s helpful for a lot of people ☺️
Thank you for lifting the curtain a bit on how money is made by content creators. It was pretty much abracadabra for me. I came here after watching a video from Rick Beato (the guy who interviews famous and respected musicians) on what musicians make on a million or even a billion streams. That is a lot less transparent.
Great explanation Taylor. I click immediately whenever I see you in the subs feed. Your enthuasiam is contagious and immediately draws one in. Best of luck with the diversification project.
One of the most neatly detailed videos I've ever seen from content creators. I might not fully understand it, but I can see its A LOT of work behind the scenes. Kudos to you!
the arts and crafts actually ate
Ok, I finished working so I got to enjoy the video. What to say, it’s not that often you get to see a video done so thoroughly. You come a long way since your first nyc apartment and videos. I can’t wait to see you shine in the next chapter of your business career!
The road to 1M turtles is long but in sight! Well done Tay
New creator here - just started two months ago - videos like these are so transparent and so helpful. Thank you!
Do a video covering how you invest. It’s super interesting to see how different finance UA-camrs invest their money 😼🤔!
Watching this video answered many of my questions, prompting numerous 'aha' moments💡🙂Thanks Taylor🙌
Hey Taylor, been loving your videos since the beginning of the channel! It’s great that you’re big on transparency and go straight to the relevant stuff. I would personally love to see some videos on investing and how you grow that slice of the pie + always love to see some nyc videos as well 😊
Hello im Yacine from Morco do you want to get to know each other
If 24% makes up your investment appreciation annually, assuming 300K annual income, that’s 78K a year in investment returns. Assuming an annualized return rate of 20% (which is pretty high) you must have invested 390k? (Possibly more)
If the above is right, for being in your twenties that’s amazing! Congrats on that aspect too
She hasn’t always made that much so not the same
What an awesome/unique video. I haven’t really seen other influencers make videos about this stuff. It’s really cool!
Would love to see how you handle taxes and what that net profit looks like. I always focus on ROI and feel taxes suck so much value sometimes
What an incredibly clear and detailed video. Thank you so much.❤
I founded your channel 2 years ago because of my interest in consulting and I've been following since then. So I'm happy that you will continue in the consulting world in your own way. Answering your question I would like to know: 1. how you will carry out the consultancy with your clients? 2. For those who cannot yet pursue an MBA, what short courses or diplomas do you recommend taking? You mentioned something about marketing, could you make more videos where you talk about specific areas we need to focus on, either to provide consultancy or that organizations should implement?
It's the spatula for me 😂
I'd really love to learn what influences, resources, turning points, etc. you were challenged by and benefitted from between your time at Warton to today! Also, a question that I ask my working friends to get introspective is: How do you define success? Thanks for all you do, Taylor! Great stuff!
I'm a little bit late to this video, I was busy, but if it's not too late, I would like to suggest one idea for a future video: "How to distinct scam email from bussiness email, expecialy as a small creator?" Turtle out 😄🐢
Your background in consulting is a true strength for your channel, this is the most concise video I've seen about youtube income streams. No doubt you will do well with a clear plan in mind
Keep it up Taylor! ❤
You asked for input for future videos: Please keep somewhat of a business/finance focus. There are *so many* New York lifestyle vloggers, your consulting background and business insights are what make your videos stand out in a good way. Just my opinion. Best of luck!
Im just here to watch the rubber spatula.
My goal this year is to make $100 a month so I can get that monthly ad revenue pay out. The closest I've come so far is $80!
I’m with you! I have pushed my comfort zone to create and publish my videos and I still have a lot to learn. Taylor did an amazing job explaining revenue! Best of luck!
Step one: be born beautiful and keep lucky that way.
Ur bitter
Well being beautiful brings the audience but being smart, charismatic, knowledgeable and entertaining is what made me stay and follow her.
@@0reason maybe you are? Did you ever see someone as good looking as me who was unlucky and became disabled?
That’s def not how it works but whatever makes you feel better
@DANDJREACT no arguments. That's how it works. Are you super young and inexperienced? Perhaps sheltered? Not a world traveler with 26 countries behind you to prove the theory? Nonsensical media educated? I don't know, but if you had a debating point, then say it so I can correct you publicly.
Nature, semetry implies good health, less deformity, better selective breeding, beauty, culture, survival, worth and worthiness, all luck, the poor odds of, the human interest in things that move and things that seem rare, high value as an impression of perception.
Then, an accident and a face is deformed. The hay day is over. Human Apes are fickle and feckless. Suck it up, buttercup.
I've just really started working my UA-cam for the past year, as more than a hobby; person on a mission, energy. I've watched a lot of How-To advice videos and this has been the best, most straight forward. This is my first time seeing you and I can tell I can learn a lot from you about Vlogging. Thank you! Very entertaining, educational and kept me engaged til the end.
Thank you for this transparency! I always love to see behind the scenes videos: what products you use / things you invest in for better content/ things you'd do differently ❤
How she explained, there is still a consultant inside of her 😂
Always.
Of course, she is super smart and will always be a consultant
Thought the same haha :D
she was literally a consultant for like 2 years only.
@@japanboy31415 it's called t a l e n t :)
Thanks for all the information, slowly securing brand deals as a creator.
Hopefully get to go fulltime in a few months
Super cool video, I'm definitely a fan of yours now! I just also want to comment on your presentation skills and explaintions in your videos. 1. Super impressive! You took what would normally be a super boring power point given to me, and turned it into a fun whiteboard / kitchen utensle attention grabber. I have really bad ADHD and I legit didn't zone out once. That says a LOT.
2. The way you explain things and present them verbally / visually is also really impressive. It's very noticable that you take this seriously. Beyond that though is just your sheer talent. I think you found your calling for sure!
Lastly, You've really given me a reason to look into becoming my own content creator. I've worked 24 years for the big man and I'm really burnt out from it. If I do decide to hop into this work, I really believe this video will help me succeed, so thank you!
Investing in context skills. Eccomarnce marketing slases is key to become. MILLIONair then billoin is ecccnoimcks if U want to become a billionaire need to network offer value via value. G this is so much knowledge from a billionaire I give u
the amount of straighforward and transparent information and honesty in this video is something else, thank you for sharing.
Funny this came out today... My wife and I discovered your channel literally last night and watched your speakeasy video and your new apartment tour video, and we were talking about the financial side of being a UA-camr. Then you came along today with the answers, right on cue.
I’ve literally watched a million videos on this and NO ONE has every explained it as well as you did! Super informative!! Thank you so much ❤️
SO glad you thought so, thank you!!!
It's always motivational and some sort of pride that I feel when I see other people chase their dreams and get to work on what they love. I've been in the same boat with a software company ive started on the side. But always love to root and wishing you all the best it's crazy how much you've grown Taylor and keep pushing and making the world a better place. You bring smiles to thousands of people can't wait to see what you cook up in the future.
Video Idea : An realistic introspection into your life as creator. Like how you work? How you get creative energy? How you recharge? Day in the life + Deep talk in the same video. I like these type of videos. Plus : I really love the way you make video. You calm me down. So thank you.❤
I would like to see a video on how you budget for stuff like food/groceries, toiletries, clothes, travel, rent, etc. when your income is so wildly different each month/year.
You are phenomenal! I would love to see more of your videos showcasing what a typical day is like for a full-time creator. Sending positive vibes! ❤️
I love youtube analytics- showing highest viewed video each month, highest income video, views per day -highest day for each video. evergreen videos, etc. Cathrin Manning used to do them monthly and i loved it. She does not do them anymore….so a void could be filled.
Thanks - very comprehensive. Lots of opportunities if you find a popular niche and passionately work at it. The great thing about YT is that it has now become the "go-to" approach to "almost" every conceivable human activity from properly hanging drapes to educational pieces on feeding goats. Continued best wishes for a solid career - and - even more important - a Happy Life!
Hey Taylor! I really enjoy your videos, never miss a single one. Since you asked your viewers for suggestions, I'd really like to see content on life in NYC (such as the one you made on speakeasies). It's entertaining and educational to learn more about what is possibly the most famous city on earth!
Thanks for this amazing video Taylor-you are authentic, funny and very eloquent! I would love to know how many times a week you make videos… how long it took to start getting brand deals and how many subscribers you had at that point? Also, how you learnt to present so well in front of the camera and do you use scripts? Would love to see how you make the brand ads using lighting, all equipment etc.. thanks again for your inspiration!
Totally mesmerized by this plastic spatula 😯😅
This video is so detailed and super insightful.Thanks for that 😊
exactly that spatula somehow fit the moment, whether intentional or improvised.
I remember watching your early videos while I was in the process of deciding whether or not I should get an MBA. I'm now almost in the middle of my MBA journey and watching your post-college* journey as a consultant and entrepreneur has been nothing short of inspiring! Absolutely loved this video :)
Maybe another form of content you can try your hand at could be new york vs california, resources that helped you grow in a space (ie UA-cam) that isn't very conventional, more vlogs maybe (day/week in the life of a creator), etc.!
Looking forward to more awesome content from you 🎉
Taylor didn't earn an MBA. She got BS in Economics at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. She did a vid breaking down her course work.
@@jauntily oh yes! I keep getting confused that it was a dual degree, one of which was an international business course! Will edit :)
Hey Taylor, great video! Loved the brand deal process breakdown, I've never seen that before. You mentioned investing a lot, so I'd love to see a video breaking down your approach to investing, where you go to learn more about it, and what your plans are for investing in the future (Plus the investment brand plug doesn't hurt.) Also, unless I missed it, you didn't mention why you don't like brand deals taking up so much of your revenue pie, unless it's because it isn't truly passive income. Such an interesting channel, thanks for the video!
Hi Taylor, I always feel blessed to be on your Channel ❤️
I'll be 35 this year. I really wanted to know how to be happy, glowing, and keep going like you 💘?
I know it's not the perfect question, but still I really wanted to know.
Question 2. Do you see there's a room for a Small Scale Consulting Business, if I open it? I think it's a good idea 💡 to make a separate video on it.
I can understand it might be stressful for You as you came out of it and didn't like it.
Take Care 🤗
God Bless You All 💓
Thank you for being so transparent and adding value to your viewers. You just gained a new suscriber and a thumbs up!! Keep it up 👏👏
Definitely would like to see your process for making videos. From the idea generation, to the planning, is it scripted, how you film things, how you edit, how you come up with thumbnails and titles, storytelling, how long everything takes, etc.
When you have a UA-cam presentation to make at 3pm and then gotta scramble some eggs at 3:30pm . So spatula at the ready
Taylor! So awesome to see you grow from when I first started watching a few years back! I love the lifestyle videos, and would also would love to hear more about finances (both personal and business)!
Would love to see a video about your dividend investment strategy! 26% is a minority of your income, but still a sizable chunk of change.
I really like the informational videos, but I love when you just go around NYC, even if it is just to the park o something like that. Touring apartments for kicks is great too
Honestly, you´re the only creator from who I enjoy the good old commercials. I mostly skip them from other creators *cough* It´s so refreshing to see someone being so open about this topic and the income. I´d be interested if you work alone of have a Management and how a Management might influence a creators decisions.
I’ve watched dozens of these monetization videos from some of the absolute top creators on UA-cam and learned nothing. This has been one of the most informative videos on the subject and I genuinely learned a lot. Thanks so much, Taylor. 🙏
SO. GLAD. Thank you so much for watching
YESSSS
This is exactly the video I need now that I'm wanting to become a creator. Thank you it's hard to find information like this put so clearly.
Would love one that's beginner friendly about setting up accounts, banks, etc. for becoming creator. Like a simple walk through because as easy as it sounds there's almost no good tutorials online.
Thnx Taylor keep it up!
So great to hear an honest insight in your way of "former consulting firm consultant" style, hear hear! 😊And if you ask what content do I want you to make in the future, I would love to see how a content creator does her time management and day-to-day life as an content creator (esp yours!) keep it up Taylor! ❤
Amazing content, thanks so much for breaking it down. I'm just about to hit my one year anniversary as a UA-cam creator and was monitized in January. The analytics regarding monetization and other related revenue streams can be a bit overwhelming and you did a great job dissecting them. Keep up the great work!
As if the informative breakdown wasn’t enough, the spatula pointer really sells it. Thanks for sharing.
I love to see “What I spend in a week” combining finance and vlogs.
I'd love to see a video about what a work day for a content creator actually looks! Do you answer emails or calls all day? How do you plan your videos? How long does it take you to write a script, film, and edit a video? What is your filming setup (lights, audio, video equipment)?
You are one of the most intelligent content creators. I am searching for useful information created by clever people. You are one of the best, congratulations! Just please keep carry on like this for as long as possible.
As a beginner UA-camr, your videos are amazing resources for me to learn about the potential of this platform and how to thrive on it!! I literally had to take notes on this video because you were sharing so many valuable insights!! Thank you so much for your transparency and I cannot wait for more🥰
I would love a video with more detail on your investment strategies. A similar breakdown (pie charts included!) for your investments would be so helpful.
