how much i make in a month as a writer, youtuber & freelancer

[@76kilosofshade81]

I love when writers are so transparent about financial info. I'd love periodic updates - even if not exact numbers, percentages or another way to show your growth moving forward.

[@briellewrites]

good to hear! updates to come 🩷

[@CodyTheWriter]

BRIELLE!! I am literally sobbing at my desk. So proud to call you a friend and I can't wait to see where this path you are cultivating leads! *money with wings emoji*

As a crier, I got so happy for you when you got emotional. So inspiring to see your growth

[@briellewrites]

awww. thank you!

[@heyyitssj]

Ahh this is amazing Brielle, so happy for you!! Our paths are very similar. I went to school for writing, wanting to be a writer. Ended up being in a photography field, went free lancing and shot fashion and wedding for a while before stepping away from that this year. I do have a corporate job that I really enjoy right now, but one day I hope my writing sustains me in the future. Love to hear this has worked out for you 💕

[@briellewrites]

Such an interesting journey! Crazy seeing how many people can relate. Rooting for you! (and having a job you enjoy is such a win, congrats on that)

[@SaraLubratt]

Love this!! Hope you continue to share your journey 💸

[@briellewrites]

Thanks Sara!!

[@coffeenpages]

I took a chance on myself last December and walked away from my corporate job while I am still working on my academic career. The first basically seven months of this year I was working on school, developing my personal brand and then working on creating a whole platform for my family's new business. It takes SO much time in the beginning to have everything fleshed out and is such good advice. Eventually, I had to take another corporate job (receptionist but still) to be able to fund my life. It's something that is very time consuming and I am still working on my personal brand as well - not necessarily the filming side of it in order to be able to publish and research independently. I appreciate the realistic reflection

[@beyondtheradio]

Part of me wants to start a Authortube channel...but I am too worried about my coworkers or family finding the channel. :/ Trying to focus on releasing my first book for now. Your growth is so inspiring, and I hope you continue to succeed! It's also nice to see a KZbinr who can you can genuinely feel is thankful for their subscribers and humbled. Keep that up!

[@SarahVanderveer]

I feel that haha! I just changed my KZbin name to my actual name instead of an ambiguous one and I’m legit scared of family seeing it 😂😂😂 at least hoping they don’t find it until my channel is actually good haha

[@briellewrites]

if its any comfort, its very unlikely for people to find your channel on accident. that has pretty much never happened to me, unlike some other social media platforms, youtube is unlikely to recommend your video to somebody that you know! definitely don't let that be the thing that stops you. but thank you so much! :)

[@taniajk15]

I love your honesty mixed with the postivity you always bring! Thank you

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you following your dreams. I needed to hear this. I’ve been on KZbin for 14+ years. I tried new strategies and pivoted so much that I never caught my stride. I felt like I was wasting time countless times. Your video is giving me hope to keep going and changing the strategy up despite all I’ve been through. I realize I wasn’t wasting time but learning. Thank you for the motivation I needed today. You are making an impact, Brielle.

[@briellewrites]

yes! its all learning. and thank you for saying i'm making an impact, that means so much. glad this resonated with you. keep going !!!

[@byambernicole]

I’ve been subscribed for a little under a year and the growth you’ve made is incredible!! I think that is also due to all the hard work and effort you put into your videos. The production value and quality you put into your videos as “small creator” is amazing. You’ve really proved that consistency can really pay off!! I’m so proud of you!! And you don’t even have your book out yet!! Imagine what will happen when you publish!! Can’t wait to read Unraveling and watch you continue to succeed, Brielle!! 🤎🤎🤎

I resonate with your journey a lot! I'm at a stage with my channel where I've been making videos for over a year but I'm feeling directionless, and I dont have a (vocal) core audience, even though I'm monetized. You've really cracked the code on getting viewers invested in you - I was recommended one video of yours and promptly watched every other video on your channel. It feels cohesive and episodic. So congrats! You're doing it! ❤

[@briellewrites]

i am SO happy to hear this channel feels cohesive and episodic, that is def what i am striving for so thank you! glad to hear you could resonate ~ wishing you the best of luck with your channel going forward!

[@abby_x_art]

amazingly, this is my first time encountering such honesty and openness on KZbin and I’m here for it, so happy for you and your huge growth and only wishing you future success. Thank you for starting your channel and sticking to it despite all the challenges and for sharing your experiences. and thank you for sharing your failures, I’ve been discouraged and still am by the zero growth I’m going through right now , but you’ve encouraged me to try again at this whole content creation thing a reminder to keep going, Brielle! 💸 (leaving this comment here before your channel grows too big for you to respond to every comment lol)

[@ananeu]

i adored how you shared your journey along with the stats. a lot of people don’t realise the ‘pre-work’ it takes to get where you are now!🤍✨ you getting emotional made me get emotional too. bc sometimes i feel myself just get into the momentum of editing the next video and doing the next brand deal that i don’t look back and see how much i’ve grown. something i love about KZbin is how you have done it all YOURSELF. and my channel, and im sure yours, is something that I am most proud of in my life🥺 thank u for making me realise that Brielle. you’re amazing and super inspiring to me as someone still in law school who (goodness forbid) STILL thinks i desperately need a corporate law job to sustain myself and make my parents proud. im not sure where I’ll end up but i will never stop doing the things I love and that creatively sustain me!🤍🤗 ur seriously so amazing brielle!! congrats 🥳

Brielle, thank you for sharing your journey and the emotion behind the numbers. It's really inspiring to see, especially since I feel like I personally am definitely in the stage of fumbling around in the dark, LOL. I discovered you on this channel, and truly the reason why I got hooked and am still watching is because of the energy you bring to your life and videos. We can FEEL your excitement and joy, and it's infectious! I bet making the pivot to this channel allowed you to be even more yourself/joyful, which I think must have been a game changer for growing connections and a community on KZbin and beyond! Yay!

[@briellewrites]

aw! i definitely feel much more excited & creatively fulfilled with this content, im so glad that is palpable through the screen!!

[@kaitlinrochellewrites]

I am honestly in awe of you Brielle! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey. Something that people don't often realize when wanting to start a business or want to 'get rich quick' is that, if you are not absolutely in love with what you're pursuing, the time that you spend in the interim waiting for that moment to finally happen…won't happen. You'll give up because it's not worth your time or energy! (Coming from someone who has pursued a lot of failed things.) I'm so glad that you've found your stride, I can't wait to see where you end up!

[@briellewrites]

Yes that is SO true. i definitely learned that the hard way haha, if you don't enjoy the in-between phase you can't have the tenacity to stick with it long enough to succeed... so true. and thank you!!!

[@authorfey]

Aw Brielle! I love this video! I actually think I remember watching a video from your other channel a long time ago and (at least from what I remember) I think you shine differently as an authortuber! I really think this is what you're meant to do and I'm so happy for you! No time is time wasted, because everything you did set you up for where you're right now! So excited to see where this leads and what more you have in store for us ❤

[@briellewrites]

Thank you so much :') i agree, it was all conspiring to bring me here, which is so awesome to realize in hindsight!

[@sophiemayeveryday]

Brielle! I watch you on my *secret* channel that I watch everyone on but had to switch over to this one to comment. This video was simply wonderful. As a wanna-be writer and newly monetised youtuber I cannot tell you how inspiring and emotional this was to watch. It took me 17 years of making youtube videos before I reached 1,000 subscribers on this channel (which I think is channel 6 perhaps?!). I truly needed to hear what you said about pivoting, it's what led me to monetising and think it will lead to more growth. Have a wonderful weekend and best of luck to you, will be supporting you as always 💸

[@briellewrites]

Thank you so much! Such a sweet comment, rooting for you and congrats on getting monetized! a huge step

[@AuthorGianaJones]

Ahhh, congrats! I can so relate to the optimism and trying so many different things. This is crazy...I've self-published books and started a photography business. Most of my income is still from photography now, but it also helps with making KZbin videos. Anyway, love hearing your story!

[@briellewrites]

crazy seeing those similarities! truly i feel like its the people who aren't afraid to just try different things that ultimately find success! so important to keep experimenting

[@morganunraveled]

I love that you shared your story and insights learned along the way. like you with your photography, I banged my head against the wall for years with trying to run & market my handmade product based business. it always felt like pulling teeth to grow it. I’ve always been scared to make youtube videos but it was my favorite, “safe” platform as far as consumption, so using instagram to grow probably was a major error since it doesn’t feel like a comfort platform for me. when I finally started a channel just doing my cozy hobbies I feel like everything just clicked into place for me. I think the reason it can take time to find your niche but when we do what is authentic to us, we can connect with those who are aligned with us and much more “effortlessly”

[@briellewrites]

yes! precisely. your channel seems like such a good fit for you and your interests, i love that :) i feel similarly about platforms, youtube is the only platform i enjoy consuming so its a no-brainer to create on here. thanks for sharing your thoughts morgan!! love seeing you grow :')

[@c_marr]

Congratulations! It’s so inspiring that you’re building this life for yourself, and I’m so glad you can do the things you love and make money off it, too. I think trying multiple things and looking at other people’s journeys is great advice, honestly, I stopped writing for so long and just recently started watching authortube, and you’re actually one of the authortubers that made me want to start a channel and try writing again

[@briellewrites]

Thank you so much! And that is awesome. Best of luck with your channel + writing again!

[@Lara_Ameen]

This is such a wonderful video, Brielle! Thank you for sharing! I also did my undergraduate degree in film (although it wasn’t super creative), then went on for an MFA in Screenwriting and recently finished my PhD in Disability Studies. I write fiction also and am traditionally published in an anthology and have other short stories published. Although I do want to teach TV writing and fiction writing, I also want to be a working TV writer and author. But, as you said, the film industry is a struggle! I keep applying for opportunities, though! I don’t use my channel for AuthorTube, except to comment, but I’m a freelance sensitivity/authenticity reader (since 2019) and, like you, also do manuscript critiques and freelance fiction editing. I don’t have a website yet (I know I need one!), but it’s encouraging to see you making it as a freelancer because I’m also hoping to grow my sensitivity reading business and find more opportunities to teach online writing courses (just wrapped up teaching my first six-week writing course with an organization that I hope to teach again in March). I always feel like we have to hustle! Thank you for being real! I adore your content and especially this video! 😍

[@briellewrites]

[@lraydanx]

congrats!! love the transparency, im trying to pursuit the same dream as you, and its such an ispiration seeing your vids. but i need to point smth, its just crazy for me that you, a small creator (and a really really good one), makes way more money then 80% of the people in my country (i live in brazil btw and almost every single worker dont even make $800 dolars a month)

I’m crying with you!!! I’ve been on a really similar journey the past few years so hearing you talk about all of this could not have come at a better time. This is my third time pivoting lol and I’m working on my first video for this channel now. I hope the good feeling I have about this is a sign. Thank you for sharing! It’s so encouraging to see you succeeding!! 💸💸

A good feeling can definitely be a sign!! I'm so glad this resonated with you, rooting for you on this next pivot!

I can 100% relate to your realization in your senior year of college because that's where I'm at now. I thought I'd be fine with a 9-5 but now I realize I don't want that. I don't have anything built though so now I'm realizing I have to take action or else I'm screwed.
