Evelyn From The Internets - Evelyn, thank you so much for answering your follower’s question. It provide me with some insight as I’m now creating my journey into cyberspace as a creator of sorts. May you grow from strength to strength xx
This is about what Google knows about YOU *ad for Squarespace cuts video* As a graphic designer, my advice would be to freshen up the typeface and go with a Bella t-shirt. The cost isn't much of a markup. Loved Say It Loud and participated in that survey last year. Hoping it comes back. Had no idea you had a Crash Course show, though. Lemme check that out.
Hey Evs a Bevs✨❤️🙏🏾 Atm I’m a full time Visual Commercial in training at a popular fast fashion retailer🙄 and I’m growing my youtube 😬😰 funny enough I actually reeeeeaaaallllly would like to be doing youtube full time one day lol right now but can’t cuz yk. I’ve been struggling at my job for v long perilollicly time and high key think my superiors and managers don’t want to see me grow. Sooo for the past month or so I’ve been v unmotivated because of it, it’s been a very draining time and I haven’t really been uploading...have you experienced something like this or would know what to do in this situation? Lol it’s waaay more complex then I described but idk if I should write an essay 😓I really need advice
I'm a teacher in the Midwest! If you sold a shirt or pin that said Minding my Merry Black Business I'd buy it ;-) also love your second channel idea for #SmackYoLip. I think it'd be a hit.
First of all, ok white fabric against dark brown skin! We love to see it!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Secondly, I'm what you termed 'funemployed'. I'm using my funemployment to hone my creative writing and photography skills while simultaneously, making moves to monetize them. I too get discouraged, but I'm learning to move myself out of dark, demotivated mental spaces and avoid self sabotage for my own sake. Thanks for the video Evelyn!
Girl, SAME. Not gonna lie, I'm still reeling and trying to figure out how to move forward (and not let the depression monster keep me down lol). So any good vibes are GREATLY appreciated 😭🙏🏿
I got fired in 2017 and it was hard but I used every crumb of self awareness I had left to tell myself that it would be a learning experience that I’d recover from. It’s a hard thing to go through but I’m hoping it will be a good thing to go through, if that makes sense. I’m hoping you get an opportunity that’s more fulfilling for you too - sometimes these things “fall apart” for better things to fall into place. Good luck!
Soon as you said "what youtube knows about you, not about me" 3:37 a sandals resorts commercial plays lol ( Catching up on comments realizing you set us all up, very clever)
Victory Begins in the Garden heyy internet cousin 😭 no need for apology and I’m not surprised at all actually. Hallease and Evelyn are both dope! Evelyn is my more comedic cousin lol
Haha ... But seriously, when you're ready to do your taxes (if you haven't already), don't use TurboTax. They charge you for things that should actually be free. I believe there is even a petition going around about it and how they target minorities/disenfranchised. I was going to do TurboTax like I typically do each year, but I'm signed up with Credit Karma for credit stuff, and they happened to be promoting free taxes (and that's free WITH Audit Defense, in case of an audit from the IRS). So I used them this year instead, paid nothing to do my taxes (in the same amount of time it would have taken me with TurboTax, btw) and received my tax refund within about 10 days. I'll never go back to TurboTax.
Diva380 Another alternative for you... Just an FYI, the IRS has links on their website to for everyone to file taxes for free based on your income. I’ve been using H&R Block through their links for years - and I can file my state for free through H&R Block . Also most states tax authorities allow you to file for free through their website. I’ve been doing this and filing for free since 2007 after going to a shady tax lady 😒... They even allow you to import W-2s and previous year returns for free.
@@mjones8887 I'm gonna have to keep that in mind for next time (if I don't use Credit Karma again)... I'm doubting the IRS offers free Audit Defense, though.
Internet cousin, I can see you doing stand up; you be having my side in stitches ever so subtly and overtly as well lol I am a therapist on a college campus :) I appreciate you and your gifts. Thanks for not working at the pottery shop haha at least not exclusively if you do go that route.
i really appreciate how concise and well-edited your videos are. a 12 minute video of you gives so much more entertainment and useful info than a 25 min video of another youtuber because you always get directly to the point *chef’s kiss*
Hey Evelyn! I’m a plant based personal chef from Oakland. I love your videos. Especially this one, I feel like life is full of side hussle’s. You do what you can, when you can. Loving this series.
I’m currently a student doing my masters, I’m taking a career break at 30 after being a stock analyst for years. I really like your channel and attitude to your work
Evelyn!!! I’m with you! I have a Master’s degree and a career of 15 years but many times I’ve thought of going off the grid, getting a job in a pottery store, and living my best tiny house life. 😩😩The older I get, the more I realize peace is priceless. I still have to figure out this introvert life in an extrovert world.
I’m an artist who puts a lot of puzzle pieces together like you! Singer/songwriter, music educator, and community cultural organizer ☺️ S/o to all the artists/freelancers out there making it happen!!! 💖💖💖 Was having some career anxiety and turned to my mom for some advice and encouragement. One thing she told me that stuck out to me was that “no one has it all figured out, artists are never fully transparent about where they’re income is coming from and ways that they struggle” I deeply appreciate your transparency about all the different things you do and I’m wondering, what is a financial struggle you’ve dealt with in order to make your career happen?
This video is so needed. I hear so many people moan about their fave UA-camrs "selling out" or only making videos when they're sponsored, as if you can pay your rent with subscribers! Kudos to you for being so open about how you make your money.
I'm a doctor in the Midwest and I recently opened my own practice. P.S. I feel really honoured to be seeing your vids on a more regular basis. Thank you Intrnet cousin!
I love watching your videos. Everything about your energy makes me smile :) I'm a lab manager at a compounding pharmacy. I typically work alone in a lab for 9 hours a day. I listen to you, financial diet, Aja Dang and Stacy Flowers to get me through the day. Thank you for providing good content and never give up. You are amazing!!!!
Love the consistency Evelyn! I’m a 33 years old catastrophe claims adjuster so I travel for work around 250 days a year handling weather claims for an insurance company. I keep up with you no matter what state I’m in. Love your channel. Keep it up! Signed your MO Internet Cousin!
I love this Q/A series. You and Hallease both dropping videos this week talking about getting discouraged on this self-employed journey (but working through it) helps in ways I'm not able to articulate at the moment. Just want to say thank you for doing what you do. I'm glad to be along for the ride even in some small way.
11:19 is what I needed to heeeeeaaarrrr. I have been an Executive Assistant for the past ~14 months and some form of a Project Manager/Coordinator for the 7 years prior to that and I am in the process of making a career change to Life Coaching. Just 2 days ago, though I had initially thought this conversation would happen several months from now instead, I put in notice at my EA job because the nature of that work was no longer aligned with who I am. Don’t get me wrong, I’m internally freaking about where my paychecks will be coming from next - likely a whole slew of freelancer/survival jobs in the meantime - but I’m making the necessary steps to make a living doing something that I believe brings me and will bring others value and joy. And that’s the dream, right?
Evelyn! I really enjoyed this video. I am currently getting my PhD in Biochemistry, but I'm also really interested in science communication and public outreach. I'm also a huge fan crash course and got sooo hype to see you on there! Thanks for sharing!
What a delight-this was so inspiring! I am transitioning out of my full time job to work for myself-and I am hella anxious. I am having semi regular anxiety attacks (my boss is a bully) so it’s beyond time to go. Sending all good energy to all internet cousins out there taking a chance on themselves!!
I got a chiropractor and Hulu ad, lol. I am a recovering attorney on a small business journey in event planning (weddings, parties, social events) while managing a chronic illness. Love to see you prosper and be in good health!
Sooooooo a couple of things. 1) When the person in the background responded, I was shook cause I wasn’t expecting that 😭. 2) I’m temporarily a paralegal. Planning on going to law school in le fall. 3) Can we get a shirt/pin that says “youknowwhatimsaying” because it’s basically your catch phrase. 4) you waving around this desk mic had me rolling. 5) Great to see you here regularly. Warms my soul. 🙂
I'm currently subbing and working after-school tutoring in a little town near Waco after about four years of retail work. I have a BA that I'm using to do a creative Texas history research project and this job right now lets me get a lot of it done because its part-time! Blessed!
Evelyn, yr doing a great job at sticking to the February video schedule!! we all appreciate it :) I'm a full time, non-traditional (31 y/o) undergrad in ecological engineering. Also, I am a "green infrastructure stormwater intern" at the public works dept in my city.
I’m an aspiring epidemiologist but the job hunt has been soooo hard. 😭 Thank you for this video, I think it’s time I start looking into some non conventional career options.
I am definitely crying in African Diaspora right now.....THE HUSTLE....Lord.... I thought that when I sought out to teach music it would be in a high school. But through UA-cam, I teach music online. Floating between private lessons, now creating an online course and creating videos, there's some money that comes in. So I'm an online music educator and video producer/director/writer/editor (Lord, help me).
Evelyn, you are the personality that I have to surpress everyday, everywhere! I'm glad your platform and passion allow for true expression. I work in an office. Your way is MUCH better👍🏿❤️🙂
Hi Evelyn, I'm am Internet Auntie who is a registered nurse. I've been a subscriber for years, I'm really drawn to your humor, creativity and intellect. You are so talented.
I’m also a video producer. Currently I do it for a local tv news promotions...soon I’m transitioning to the freelance life! You are an inspiration sis! Thank you!
I'm loving this series and I hope you don't get burnt out from all the videos! As for me my job is pretty boring I work as an analyst in movie advertising. My ads were about making money quickly, I guess youtube thinks I'm broke.
Man your voice is soooooo relaxing. My scalp feels moisturized after listening to you. Audible should give you a contract girl! Thanks for sharing. I'm an admin that hates her commute but I'm overpaid and I mostly like my coworkers. Love my boss and manager. Hoping to one day be an entrepreneur with my husband and move to Africa with our little tribe.
This video is so helpful. On one end of the internet, we have people like Jake Paul who are out here telling kids that college doesn't matter and than we have u giving us average citizens legitimate advice. Also, thanks for talking about how you don't like the technical side of filming. I don't either and it makes me feel like a bad filmmaker and like I'll never be able to bring my stories to life on screen. You always make me feel better :)
Us is proud of you ! I have been a homemaker/student for the last 8 years. Finishing my degree part time. You are an inspiration for doing you! Though I accomplish this is my personal life... it's slow progression in my professional life. Keep up the great work. I would be inclined to support you!
I just re-found my Magical Black Girl tee this week and can't wait to start wearing it again. I'm glad you mentioned merch cuz I'd buy just about anything you put your name/stamp on. I'm about to check out the pins again right now. I'm a 911 dispatcher with a different couple side hustles. Definitely still on my employment journey, but you're an inspiration as I work towards making one of my side hustles my main job!
I live in nyc and used to work an office job (after college). I played quite a few roles and didn’t much like any of them because I couldn’t stand to be in an office from 9-5/Mon-Fri. Eventually I decided that what I really wanted to do was focus on music (I’m a singer/songwriter & I play Uke) so I said bye to the office job and got a restaurant gig. After a year of that, I said bye, decided to focus on music even further. In order to make money I became a freelance writer & pet sitter (even more flexible schedule). I’m very frugal and find that I navigate my life pretty comfortably despite not making the max amount of money that I know I could be making. I love working at my own pace and being able to accept/decline gigs/assignments so it’s worth it to me. I also make a bit of money here and there when I book shows. Fun fact: the office job/company I used to work for sometimes hires me as a freelancer and performer so I get a good chunk of money from them every now and again without having to watch my soul deteriorate in an office. I’m very confident in my ability to succeed in music so I’ve just been doing everything in my power to devote myself to it. I’m very protective of my creative energy and can feel when a job/capitalism is trying to deplete me of it. I refuse ✨
Since my fiance died in 1996, I have learned that some of my existence does not belong to me. There are forces that shape my life and yours that we WISH that we had control over. I spend some of my time listening, making myself available to know what I am to do. I spend some of my time praying for what I want, meditating to influence the forces to manifest my dreams. I spend some of my time begging for what I think is ideal for me. AND, I spend some of my time being salty about the denials despite the fact that I think I am worthy to have this or that experience/opportunity. All of it is spending time recognizing that I do not control this world -- who I meet, when I meet them, who is born, when they are born, who dies, when and how they die, whether or not I hit the lottery (it would be especially hard for ME to hit it since I don't play) -- all of these things have absolutely nothing to do with me or what I think. And so it is with my own life. Before my fiance died, I truly believed that I ran my own life. Now I know better many times over. There's a randomness to life, but there's a sequence too. There's chaos, to temper the order. There is success, failure, success that's really failure and failure that's really success. An income stream that you might not make a priority can become the one that really takes off and exposes your hidden talent to YOU. This is the second video that I watched today on your channel. I subscribe while watching the first one. I watched your video because I recognized you from the PBS special youtube channel. I always liked your sense of humor, as well as the topics you discuss and the responsibility you take doing the research. I appreciate your point of view. I don't know a whole lot about UA-cam videos, the monetization, etc. However, I have a creative idea that the I would like to see born into this world and the vehicle for its birth, I anticipate will be UA-cam. So, thank you for this video.
I started using audible because you suggested it. Best thing ever! Especially because I went back to school. A lot cheaper than paying for a thick ass text book that I don’t have to lug around. And I can listen to the assigned reading while I’m driving around town. Win win.
Hey 👋🏽 internet cousin Evelyn! Currently I’m a Legal Assistant in a corporate NYC law firm *cue the elevator music* but hopeful about starting a side hustle UA-cam channel. You give a whole lot of helpful information! I love this series. 🙋🏽♀️ here for it!

Hey internet cousin. I work in wealth management, so if you need a financial advisor, I can hook you up. 😏
This is about what Google knows about YOU

As a graphic designer, my advice would be to freshen up the typeface and go with a Bella t-shirt. The cost isn't much of a markup.

🗣 Loving this unamed weekly series
What a delight-this was so inspiring! I am transitioning out of my full time job to work for myself-and I am hella anxious. I am having semi regular anxiety attacks (my boss is a bully) so it’s beyond time to go. Sending all good energy to all internet cousins out there taking a chance on themselves!!
I thank God every time I see a post by you! You bring sunshine into my life.
I got a chiropractor and Hulu ad, lol. I am a recovering attorney on a small business journey in event planning (weddings, parties, social events) while managing a chronic illness. Love to see you prosper and be in good health!
“I’m smell like Egyptian musk, I do” 😂😂😂 FELT
Engineer in the building! I’m in the “work to find my fun” camp right now.
Sooooooo a couple of things. 1) When the person in the background responded, I was shook cause I wasn’t expecting that 😭. 2) I’m temporarily a paralegal. Planning on going to law school in le fall. 3) Can we get a shirt/pin that says “youknowwhatimsaying” because it’s basically your catch phrase. 4) you waving around this desk mic had me rolling. 5) Great to see you here regularly. Warms my soul. 🙂
Ohhhhh snap, cuzzo is out here again! ♥️
I love that Magical Black Girl hoodie! I’ve had it for a few years and still wear it.
I'm currently subbing and working after-school tutoring in a little town near Waco after about four years of retail work. I have a BA that I'm using to do a creative Texas history research project and this job right now lets me get a lot of it done because its part-time! Blessed!
Love from London, employment is my struggle currently lol I am encouraged by watching your videos though thank you for your openness.
Evelyn, yr doing a great job at sticking to the February video schedule!! we all appreciate it :) I'm a full time, non-traditional (31 y/o) undergrad in ecological engineering. Also, I am a "green infrastructure stormwater intern" at the public works dept in my city.
I’m an aspiring epidemiologist but the job hunt has been soooo hard. 😭 Thank you for this video, I think it’s time I start looking into some non conventional career options.
Yessss smack yo lips!! Seriously one of my favorites
I'm dead that an ad came up as soon as she said "what they know about YOU".
YES TO A SECOND UA-cam CHANNEL!! #SMACKYOLIPS
You unbotherdly holding this mic THE.WHOLE.TIME...love to see it
So happy to see frequent uploads from you. It really just makes my UA-cam feed have purpose again lol.
I am definitely crying in African Diaspora right now.....THE HUSTLE....Lord....
I thought that when I sought out to teach music it would be in a high school. But through UA-cam, I teach music online. Floating between private lessons, now creating an online course and creating videos, there's some money that comes in. So I'm an online music educator and video producer/director/writer/editor (Lord, help me).
Evelyn, you are the personality that I have to surpress everyday, everywhere! I'm glad your platform and passion allow for true expression. I work in an office. Your way is MUCH better👍🏿❤️🙂
Hi Evelyn, I'm am Internet Auntie who is a registered nurse. I've been a subscriber for years, I'm really drawn to your humor, creativity and intellect. You are so talented.
I’m also a video producer. Currently I do it for a local tv news promotions...soon I’m transitioning to the freelance life! You are an inspiration sis! Thank you!
I'm loving this series and I hope you don't get burnt out from all the videos! As for me my job is pretty boring I work as an analyst in movie advertising. My ads were about making money quickly, I guess youtube thinks I'm broke.
Man your voice is soooooo relaxing. My scalp feels moisturized after listening to you. Audible should give you a contract girl! Thanks for sharing. I'm an admin that hates her commute but I'm overpaid and I mostly like my coworkers. Love my boss and manager. Hoping to one day be an entrepreneur with my husband and move to Africa with our little tribe.
Girl, you are so wonderful.
I'm suppose to be studying for an exam but I decided to take a 11:43 minute break and write a comment.
I work at Wegmans. The best grocery store in the world!
Wegmans is literally amazing and one of the only things I miss about homeeeeeee
I GO to wegmans! hello!
I loooooove Wegmans!!!!!!
This video is so helpful. On one end of the internet, we have people like Jake Paul who are out here telling kids that college doesn't matter and than we have u giving us average citizens legitimate advice. Also, thanks for talking about how you don't like the technical side of filming. I don't either and it makes me feel like a bad filmmaker and like I'll never be able to bring my stories to life on screen. You always make me feel better :)
Hey Internet Cousin! I wish YOU the best in all of your endeavors...YOU deserve! I work in hospital administration.
Us is proud of you ! I have been a homemaker/student for the last 8 years. Finishing my degree part time. You are an inspiration for doing you! Though I accomplish this is my personal life... it's slow progression in my professional life. Keep up the great work. I would be inclined to support you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Yes It Loud. It was funny and informative! Those wigs🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just re-found my Magical Black Girl tee this week and can't wait to start wearing it again. I'm glad you mentioned merch cuz I'd buy just about anything you put your name/stamp on. I'm about to check out the pins again right now. I'm a 911 dispatcher with a different couple side hustles. Definitely still on my employment journey, but you're an inspiration as I work towards making one of my side hustles my main job!
I live in nyc and used to work an office job (after college). I played quite a few roles and didn’t much like any of them because I couldn’t stand to be in an office from 9-5/Mon-Fri. Eventually I decided that what I really wanted to do was focus on music (I’m a singer/songwriter & I play Uke) so I said bye to the office job and got a restaurant gig. After a year of that, I said bye, decided to focus on music even further. In order to make money I became a freelance writer & pet sitter (even more flexible schedule). I’m very frugal and find that I navigate my life pretty comfortably despite not making the max amount of money that I know I could be making. I love working at my own pace and being able to accept/decline gigs/assignments so it’s worth it to me. I also make a bit of money here and there when I book shows. Fun fact: the office job/company I used to work for sometimes hires me as a freelancer and performer so I get a good chunk of money from them every now and again without having to watch my soul deteriorate in an office. I’m very confident in my ability to succeed in music so I’ve just been doing everything in my power to devote myself to it. I’m very protective of my creative energy and can feel when a job/capitalism is trying to deplete me of it. I refuse ✨
Really like your transparency on all of this. Very much appreciated. It's refreshing - and helpful.
You are life! Thank you for saying that you get discouraged sometimes as we all do...
Since my fiance died in 1996, I have learned that some of my existence does not belong to me. There are forces that shape my life and yours that we WISH that we had control over. I spend some of my time listening, making myself available to know what I am to do. I spend some of my time praying for what I want, meditating to influence the forces to manifest my dreams. I spend some of my time begging for what I think is ideal for me. AND, I spend some of my time being salty about the denials despite the fact that I think I am worthy to have this or that experience/opportunity. All of it is spending time recognizing that I do not control this world -- who I meet, when I meet them, who is born, when they are born, who dies, when and how they die, whether or not I hit the lottery (it would be especially hard for ME to hit it since I don't play) -- all of these things have absolutely nothing to do with me or what I think. And so it is with my own life. Before my fiance died, I truly believed that I ran my own life. Now I know better many times over. There's a randomness to life, but there's a sequence too. There's chaos, to temper the order. There is success, failure, success that's really failure and failure that's really success. An income stream that you might not make a priority can become the one that really takes off and exposes your hidden talent to YOU. This is the second video that I watched today on your channel. I subscribe while watching the first one. I watched your video because I recognized you from the PBS special youtube channel. I always liked your sense of humor, as well as the topics you discuss and the responsibility you take doing the research. I appreciate your point of view. I don't know a whole lot about UA-cam videos, the monetization, etc. However, I have a creative idea that the I would like to see born into this world and the vehicle for its birth, I anticipate will be UA-cam. So, thank you for this video.
WOW!!! We share the same sentiments. Beautiful comment!!!
food blogger and photographer and this bundle of side hustles resonate with me
!
Evelyn I’m here for these check in weekly videos 💚✨
I found you through Say It Loud. I loved it and I love what you do here. I wish you continued success on being self employed.
Evelyn, your personality just makes my day.
I started using audible because you suggested it. Best thing ever! Especially because I went back to school. A lot cheaper than paying for a thick ass text book that I don’t have to lug around. And I can listen to the assigned reading while I’m driving around town. Win win.
Hey 👋🏽 internet cousin Evelyn! Currently I’m a Legal Assistant in a corporate NYC law firm *cue the elevator music* but hopeful about starting a side hustle UA-cam channel. You give a whole lot of helpful information! I love this series. 🙋🏽♀️ here for it!
