In 2024, my goal is to make 10-20k CAD per month in revenue and here's how it's going so far. I've been self-employed for 5 years but these income streams I'm sharing with you today are pretty new because I pivoted A LOT. I used to follow a lot of bloggers who shared their income reports and thought it was both fascinating and useful so I wanted to do the same to show you the potential in becoming a creator. Please note: There is a difference between revenue and profit. The numbers I'm sharing in this video are REVENUE numbers in Canadian dollars. Big thanks to @moftus for sponsoring this video.

Let me know in the comments👉should I make more income reports like this??
Congrats dear Dina 🎉❤ Great work. I love to watch your videos, really inspiring and interesting ❤ Well done and well deserved ❤ Greetings from Switzerland, Susanne
Yes, please make also personal videos and yes for sure go on with this income reports ❤
@@switzerlandandthephilippines Thank you so much! I think yes I will continue :)
Yay! Congrats Dina! It seems like things are looking good for you! It's very motivating to me to see you succeed. Thank you for doing these update videos
Thank you so much, Lindy!!
To summarize, Dina made about $28000 CAD over her 3 months (with Feb making up 50% of income amount). This is getting close to her goal of 10k CAD per month revenue. Her expenses so far with some being payments for last year's obligations like taxes and this year's subscription payments to year end was over $10k CAD. Usually taxes would update last year's income/expense report and annual payment is expensed each month via accrual method vs. cash in and out method (I assume you are using cash method when you receive and pay out cash for accounting purposes). She diversified her income streams with Brand Deals taking over 40% and hourly work like Calligraphy classes taking less. This is also helped by the majority of income being USD and expenses being CAD benefited by lower CAD/USD exchange rate. Great work over the years.
Great summary! For my own personal uses, I like calculating things on a cash basis because it tells me how much money I actually have RIGHT NOW and how much is going in and out at the moment. I do have an accountant/bookkeeper who does it for my business separately.
Awesome honest content, enjoyed the breakdown of your revenue streams. Hope that it continues to grow this year.
Thanks so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
hey dina❣️thank you for sharing your journey. its amazing that you're comfortable enough to do that with your subs and with youtube! i love it a lot!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for making this video, Dina. I follow your journey for so long and really enjoy your progress 😊
Aww so happy to hear that!! Thanks for following along!
Congrats on your success. Now I'm just waiting for mine ☺
Thank you so much, you can do it!🙌🤩

I love your content. So basic and honest 😍Def wanna see more~
Awesome, thanks so much!
Hey !Dina lu your content are always superb 😄❤️
Thank you so much 😁
@DinaLu Thank you! Your advice and point of view are a benefit to us all. You've really inspired me to follow my dreams and I appreciate you. You deserve all the success imaginable!!
Awwww thank you so much, you're so sweet!🥰
The videos that start with "How to" and "How I'm" are the top content. Seems people really engage with these types of videos more than anything else as they are interested in learning.
Yes agreed!
🎉🎉 Another great and informative video 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Dina, love your content, it's super inspiring, thanks! Just one quick question - how do you manage all the projects? I also have a few side gigs (and want to start a youtube this year + a a whole lot of other ideas), but always struggle to balance it all - tbh, I'm not the most organized person on the planet 😅
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that!!
To be honest, it's hard to manage everything haha. But my best advice is to start with just 1-2 things as your focus, build those up, and then add more income streams/projects. I do have some videos on time management, you can search "dina lu time management"!
Just clicked on the video and noticed you have 66k subs now! Wow not long ago I remember seeing it was 30k. You go gurll!
Aww thank you for following for SO long!!!
Hi Dina! Thanks for the video and for sharing your history of income streams.
May I ask, how long had you been learning calligraphy before teaching workshops?
You're welcome! I started learning calligraphy in August 2018, and started teaching in January 2019.
Awesome Video Dina!
Thank you! 😁
Fantastic video! I love watching your progress towards your goals.
When doing digital product research, do you ever buy the digital products that are similar to the ones you will make to analyze them? Or do you think that is necessary?
Thanks for watching!! I have done it one time and it was very useful. It can be useful but not super necessary. I think looking at people's marketing and listing photos will do the job
Hi Dina lu firstly thanks for making this kind of videos and report about build different kind of income streams
But what i want to say is I'm now thinking to start an esty shop but unfortunately my country is not supported by etsy platform and i can't sell some website templates there because my country is not in the list of countries who can sell digital products on this platform,so can you make a dedication video about this topic please it will be a very helpful video more many inspired people who want to sell on the platform or can you recommend us other alternatives to sell some website templates or digital products to make some money online like you
You're inspiring! I'm currently in the process of trying to quit my job and start my own grind, so channels like yours are amazing to follow. You're awesome, keep going 💪
Aww thank you! Good luck on quitting your job and grinding! It's worth it.
you are so inspiring DINA❤
Keep going and so proud of you
Thank you so much!!
I don't know how you do it.. I mean I do, bc you're showing us.. but I don't know how you keep at it and stay so strong!
Just one step at a time...! Starting small, pivoting when needed, and never giving up!
mother I LIVE for these vids omg
Hahah glad to hear!!
Hi Dina!!
Im a new subscriber and wanted to know if you have any thought on digital marketing using stan store. Ive been seeing so many instagram videos and honestly i want to try selling digital products but i only trust you hahaha. Do you think youll ever do a video on that?? 😊
Stan store is legit! I don't use it personally but I have no reason to believe it's a scam or something. The only thing is... I believe it's best if you have an audience where you can promote your Stan store products to
Yessir
Is it possible to sell digital products through the UA-cam membership?
Like if people hit the 'Join' button, can they buy digital products off there if you decided to sell digital products directly through the youtube membership or are the perks limited to just basic stuff like 'loyalty badge, priority reply to comments, and early access to new videos'?
I haven't looked it into detail yet, but I think I can offer things like digital products through the membership, but I'm not sure if I can charge extra for it.
Thank you for sharing so much!!! it's always helpful :)
Awesome to hear!!
I'm on a similar journey as you, building different income streams. You can be proud of your achievements, well done! Keep it up
Thanks, you too!
better than ever
Thanks!
