Flosstube 17: 6 Month Monetization Update!

[@mithrilstitcher]

so happy to say im caught up on your flosstubes!! i really enjoy your projects, especially love your plan to do a green-toned version of the australia pattern from long dog samplers. that olive green linen you found is gorgeous! looking foward to your next video - happy stitching!! 💚

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Thank you!! I’m liking the long dog samplers plan more and more as I keep thinking about it, now I just have to find the perfect floss!

Your butterfly finish is lovely. You’re right about how no one talks about monetizing. In fact, you are the only one I have seen discussing it. My comfort watches are Laura at Stitching by the Shore, Michelle Bendy,The Sunshine Stitchers, Maroomy Crafts, Dees 20 Stitches, Stitchy Things, Yasmin’s Made with Love, and you. All of your comfort watches are people I watch too. There are so many wonderful Flosstuber’s in this community. Thanks for sharing your stitching journey.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Thank you! I also haven’t heard anyone else discuss it at all and really had no idea what to expect because of that. We really are lucky to have so many amazing stitchy people to share this space with!

[@microbiologistmakes]

aww thanks so much for the lovely shoutout! ❤ PhD flosstubers unite! 😅💪

[@STEMxSTITCH]

You deserve it! 👩‍🔬👩‍🔬

[@annasbooksandstitches]

Nati's Notion template is a game changer. Run, don't walk. The Diddy Stitcher (Helen) is in my top 5 comfort watches, she's also an amazing person.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

I will be buying it! Excited for the tutorial video too!!

[@HobbiesAndHyperfocus]

I am glad to find more new floss tubers out here. I love Cam the Stitcher as she was wiling to answer stuff about how to start and improve my floss tube between my first and second videos which was amazing. I love how many people are on floss tube, and i hope that someday i can figure out how to do some of the things that seem to make videos good.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

That’s so sweet of Cameron, she’s amazing! It’s definitely a learning process, I’m still trying to improve little things every video!

[@rui6196]

Another great video. 💚

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Thanks Dad!

[@GwenKN]

I'm just catching up so many months after you published this video! Another piece of data for you is that I got busy and missed this video and the last one, but then I think KZbin stopped showing me your new videos and now I've missed the last 6+ months. I had to specifically come to your channel to see that you had new videos. So I've switched from "personalized" to "all" notifications and hopefully will see when you post new videos again. I have some catching up to do! Great stitching, thanks for sharing it, and thanks for sharing about youtube monetization, too.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

That’s such a bummer to hear, but I am so happy that you found your way back! Hope you enjoy your catch up 😉

[@Ohnonotthatguy]

im actually almost finished the legend of zelda mushrooms wildewoman shows! you're honestly a big comfort watch, as well as the giddy stitcher! and I love the tiny scissors

[@STEMxSTITCH]

That’s awesome, it’s such a cool piece! And aw thank you 😊😊❤️❤️

[@subpar_stitches]

Omg 😭 😭 I'm so late to this because I'm catching up on my backlog of to watch videos, thank you so much for the shout out!

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Of course, you deserve it! I love your channel 😊

[@Amylovestoads]

My favorites are Mama Bear Stitchery, Stitchin Mommy, the Rocking Stitcher, Jatina Stitches and Colette the highway stitcher.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Thanks for sharing! I love getting recommendations based off of others favorites!

[@wildewoman_crafts]

Thank you for the sweet shoutout!! Loved seeing all your progress and your temperature piece came out AMAZING!! 🤩 I bought the Notion template and have slowly been updating, but I definitely need the tutorial to drop because I feel like some of the fields that should be cumulative are not summing up for me. But lemme tell ya, it is a PROCESS to upload all your data! haha

[@STEMxSTITCH]

It’s so lovely to get to share this space with other incredible stitchy people! And thank you 😊 I’m very excited to buy it now, though I was thinking the same thing about needing a tutorial and that it will take me a while to transfer over! Sounds like a project for this weekend

[@britches__get__stitches]

Well, you are one of my comfort stitches, as well as Cam, Marjorie, and Michelle Bendy. But I also watch Stitched by Liz, Millennial Stitchers, ChinookCrafter, Be.A.Blessing, New Hampshire Stitcher, Cross Stitch Cait, Stitchin in the Stacks, Hygge Stitcher, Lemonade Stitching. Gosh, so many! I could recommend a list of like 50, but you've probably got just as many on your subscription list anyway! :P I've been just using excel to keep track of my stitching, but I keep seeing people mention Notion, so I might have to check it out.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Aw thanks!! 😊😊 there really are so many amazing people that we are lucky to share this space with, thanks for the recs!

[@owlbestitching8839]

Thx for sharing info on monetization. I’m not in it for the money but it would be a nice perk though. I started my channel so I can leave something for my grandkids and future great grandkids to look back on and see the things that I worked/created that made me happy. It would be so wonderful if I could go back and see my mom, grandmother or great grandmother’s channels. I think KZbin is here to stay. I’m already watching more KZbin than I am tv. I’m subscribed to your channel and I wish you the best!

[@STEMxSTITCH]

That’s such a lovely idea! I’m sure your grandchildren will appreciate that!

[@marika.stitches]

Love your finishes! I have been using the notion template for about a month and a half now, and I love it. Years ago when I did only full coverage I used to track my stitches on paper, but this notion template makes it so much more fun. Also it was very easy to add to it, like I have a "flosstube" overview for the time in between my videos, so easy to have an overview over what I have been stitching on and how many stitches I have done during that time :) Love those mini scissors!

[@STEMxSTITCH]

I’m so looking forward to using it! I think I’ll jump in this weekend! It’s a great idea to keep flosstube notes there too!!

[@Chris-lv2en]

Thank you, always so interesting, and so good that you take the time to share and explain the monetization side. Best wishes.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Thank you! I’m glad you found it interesting!!

[@angiefittro8372]

Xstitchmd is a good flosstube. I just watched her struggle through the last year of getting her PHD in psychiatry, I believe.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Yes, I watch xstitchmd occasionally too and she is always so fun!

[@chinookcrafter]

I am also struggling to edit on an old Mac with iMovie. I decided to just go minimal on the editing because it really is a time suck! We got a desktop but I need to get a camera and microphone to improve. I love the Notions template by Nati, I am very disorganized and it’s been very helpful to consolidate all the info. It’s a learning curve but Nati is super helpful and I know the tutorial is nearly done. It is quite tedious to import the data. I’m doing WIPs as I work on them and my DMC while I watch TV in the evening. The shopping list function and find my floss will be helpful once established! I think most of my watches have been mentioned but I enjoy Kristi’s Corner Needlework (history prof and designer!) cin3matic, Cat Fur and Cross Stitch, and Hygge Stitcher to name a few more

[@STEMxSTITCH]

It can really be a challenge to edit, especially when the computer isn’t up to the task! I don’t have a camera or mic either, I have been using my phone. I thought I might need a mic to cut down on background noise, but now that I can use OBS it has great noise filters! I’m excited to get the notion template up and running for myself, sounds like it might take a bit of time!

[@stitchingntheboro]

Thank you for the shout out. I'm looking forward to stitching Save the Bees! I'm so glad you showed Elegant Lace as I was wanting to see your update. The finished butterfly is beautiful I love those colors. Stacey the 911 stitcher is doing Anzak I believe.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

I can’t wait to see how your Save the Bees turns out! I’m very happy to finally get back to elegant lace. And awesome, I will definitely check her out, thank you!

[@randib82]

I’ve been using Nati’s template in Notion for a couple of months now and it is awesome. For someone like you that likes to keep track of your stitching stats, this will do all that for you!

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Alright, time for me to go purchase!!! I’m excited to explore all the features!

[@HobbiesAndHyperfocus]

I always watch Michelle Bendy, The Diddy Stitcher (Helen), you and Lunar Witch the most.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Awesome! Excited to check their channels (and yours) out!

[@bettinaxstitch177]

Thanks for your video. Very interesting. Where could I find more infos about the notions template for cross stitch? Thanks, Bettina

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Glad you enjoyed! Search “stitchy nati” and you should find her gumroad page where the listing is!
