Very interesting. Thanks!

I learn new thing about 'make for kids' in UA-cam. Thank you for sharing your story 🎉

[@LacyMayArt]

thank you for being so transparent! here for you, no matter what platform you post on. wishing you luck in your new UA-cam journey! TBH, I've been posting for 4 years on UA-cam and I still have less than 1k subscribers, but I've learned so much and I've grown so much in my art and in my video editing. it's my hobby whether or not 1k people are watching or if no one is watching. so, I completely understand and am glad that you're doing what makes you happy. :)

Speaking of transparency… I’m about to become even more so as today I filmed a whoooole video on my UA-cam analytics showing my actual $$ amount that I briefly touched on this video… which will come tomorrow as otherwise I’ll be shy and never post it 🤣🤣 but, thank you ever so!! It’s so daunting at this stage again I remember so clearly feeling this way like 6/7 years ago! It’s so worth it though as the reward of growing socials especially around art is like nothing other to me!!

[@LacyMayArt]

@@sugarshrimp True! It's hard, but worth it. :) Good luck! I look forward to the next video.

I have been following you on all 3 of your channels. I love watching someone who also lives in cornwall and loves cute things xx

[@sugarshrimp]

lool its so funny me forgetting i even have 3 channels most of the time!!

[@AsIf00741]

I followed you here 🙃

[@ChantelleArts]

This is fascinating, such a good video ☺☺

[@sugarshrimp]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@yankamamma]

This video is so helpful thank you 😊 what about sponsorships? Have u try to get sponsorships on your old channel?

[@sugarshrimp]

I’ve done a few (5/6 out of around 1000 videos) which would be a viable way forward for me if I continued on for sure. They’ve paid well, it’s just been a personal preference up until now not to really do them

[@SazzArt]

I’ve been a subscriber of yours for years now and have been watching since your squishy days and I really really love the transparency of how you’re feeling about your work, it’s really motivated to hear that I’m not alone as an aspiring artist🫶 you were also the main reason why I started my Etsy shop and UA-cam channel, so just know that your work really is affecting and inspiring people

[@sugarshrimp]

well thats exactly my aim sooo im glad someones out there also in the same boat that has managed to find me!! i feel so wild out here in this position
