Ever wondered how bloggers and instagram influencers make money?It is not uncommon to hear that a successful creative is earning six figures in revenue annually. But HOW? Where does that money come from exactly? And how do I get me some of that? Yes, money is usually a taboo topic, but I think it’s beneficial for ambitious creatives to understand how established entrepreneurs generate revenue, how long it takes to build a six-figure business, and the difference between revenue and profit. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain and explaining the revenue streams that contribute to my six-figure annual earnings. I share the financial challenges I faced in my 20’s and the way I approached my business in the early days—before I was qualified to charge premium rates for my work. In addition, I offer insight around separating your worth as a person from your income and fostering a you-can’t-stop-me attitude toward earning and entrepreneurship. Listen in to understand why I'm shifting my business model away from sponsorships in order to spend more time in support of aspiring creatives—like YOU!
