There's SO much more to art content than just painting processes. I personally believe that it's extremely important to vary your content, align it to your goals, and alternate between high and low effort posts to really maximize your creative fulfillment on social media and safeguard your mental health to avoid burnout.

The best way to really grow on social media and be able to post consistently is to like doing it. If you hate your marketing efforts you're never going to be able to have the focus and the drive to be able to build a following and maintain it.
By aligning your content to your goals, you're ensuring your continued artistic growth while also serving your target audience. It's a solid strategy, and I hope you put it into practice!

Love your in depth videos, Kelsey! As someone with ADHD, I've always found it really tough to not get lost in all the various things I want to do with my art career. The different avenues an artist can take with it can get so overwhelming for someone like me who wants to do just about everything! But your organizational skills have taught me a lot and helped me learn how to work smarter, not harder. Always appreciate the work you put into your videos and it definitely inspires me to approach my own KZbin videos a bit differently! 💙

[@ameliaroseillustrations]

Just to say, your art is beautiful, keep it up! 🤍🤍

[@prismono]

@@ameliaroseillustrations This is SO kind wow thank you so much for this 😭💙💙 And same to you as well!!

[@ameliaroseillustrations]

@@prismono Aww you’re welcome and thank you too!

[@VerdantSculpts]

This is so helpful! I am a well established artist looking to expand and change things up. It is wonderful to hear from younger artists such as yourself to help break out of old ways of thinking. You have breathed fresh new hope into me. Thank you for your amazing content!

[@majoliCATart]

Kelsey, I know you don't read the comments, but just in case you will, I need to tell you that your channel has helped me so much. I love how you always share your screen and your thoughts with examples and don't just talk about it in vague terms. It shows you as a human better and helps tremendously to understand the steps. Thank you sm

[@KelseyRodriguez]

This is such a sweet comment, thank you! I try my best to be as clear as possible and I’m glad it’s working, thanks for watching and supporting! 💕

[@carmencolita929]

I just want to say that you are so good at what you do and you're such a vital part of the KZbin art community. I'm planning on launching my own art KZbin channel and although I'm very nervous to do it, your videos give me less anxiety about it because they are so informative and helpful.

[@s.melonita4454]

My art role model! You stand for creativity, transparency and most importantly inspiration. Thank you!!!

[@lunaraynwolf7036]

This was very inspiring and motivating! Thank you for walking us through your process on content creation! Hope you have a super awesome weekend ☺️

[@VeraGolosovaArt]

This is exactly what I needed now, Kelsey, thank you so much, I uploaded your template and it is magic!

[@DrawingsFromAnna]

I love the idea of breaking down videos into low, medium, and high effort videos! I'm looking forward to planning some content based on this 😊

[@annmariebarreiroart]

Thank you Kelsey for such a good video! I look forward to some of the video ideas you came up with too!

[@heytheredevana]

Lovely video! Congrats on everything you've achieved so far Kelsey! :) ✨🧡

[@MonicaMolinar]

❤❤❤PERFECT TIMING❤❤ ❤ Thank you, Kelsey! I do appreciate how you yank my questions out of the ether and bring the answers to life in this visual format just when I need them. This is EXACTLY the help I needed, which makes me extra glad that I clicked to be notified of the Premier. GREAT WORK!!

[@farikalines1169]

You are such a gift, Kelsey! As an older aspiring artist, I'm learning so much from your content. keep it up!

[@elisiataylor]

One of the best videos I've watched from your channel!! Thank you

[@winsomewurm]

Thank you so much for the template. 💚 I've been so discouraged about my work but your channel has really helped me get some perspective.

[@adriennepriceart]

Thanks for all you do! Your podcast is also very helpful

[@sifzapata93]

Positive comment Kelsey! thanks for the confidence you project on most of your videos and the resilience you are showing right now.

[@katibujnafineart]

Makes a LOT of sense about the variety. Thanks for sharing!

[@rachiimi]

Kelsey, I've recently started to focus on growing my social media presence as a young artist/ animator. I just wanted to say you have been a huge inspiration and motivator in this process. I listen to your videos at work all the time, and it's just been so refreshing being able to go to someone as well-informed as you. You are bringing so much positive + productive energy to the art community, and I'd like to thank you for that. I'm rooting for you!

[@emhuesart]

Thank you for being so transparent with your youtube journey Kelsey! You have been an endlessly helpful resource! 💛 Much love!

[@sarafeartist]

Than you so much for this great video about an important topic. Balancing everything can be hard, and for me as a beginner youtube artist this really helped me. Love your channel! ❤️

[@maraeamills2082]

Breaking everything down into manageable tasks makes everything seam less daunting. Thank youuuu 💜💜

[@cequ]

Thank you so much! You really inspire me while keeping things healthy. It’s so easy to do „too much“ with things you love.

[@minajoakim]

Oh Kelsey you are a hero :) You helped me so much with getting my thoughts together, wich is so so overwhelming for me, but with your template I finally could organize all my ideas without forgetting them! Thank you so much! Be sure I will buy your workbook and other templates too soon :) Great work you are doing - helping oher artists shine 💫

[@m00nsh00z]

You are such a gem! I love the way you organize your thoughts so sucinctly

[@boomboomfirepower1]

Oh god thank god for your channel. I've been surfing through videos about starting your own art career and I always feel more confused at the end than when I started watching. Thank you for your help and practical advices. I feel like sometimes hearing the confirmation you need is vital for motivation. Again thanks a lot!💗

[@black-nails]

love your approach and tips! sounds so healthy and inspiring ♥️

[@hwrmny]

your videos are so nice to watch nd so helpful. i found your channel a bit ago because i’ve been trying to improve my art before college + trying to find out how to turn it into a career and your videos have been a HUGE help. you talk about it in a way i can understand and actually focus when i’m listening (which i struggle with due to my adhd), i just wanted to tell you i appreciate your videos and they’ve helped me a lot :) and i hope you are doing well today

[@melwillis6475]

I love your videos.. You sharing your thought is heaven sent. Your video sound is perfect and fluid, you have a great voice for teaching, soft and gentle, not intimidating but strong.

[@quinciwoodall4044]

This was super helpful, thank you!!

[@RileyDemski]

KELSEY your videos feel like a warm cup of tea

[@untitled_paintings]

This was incredibly helpful! I just planned two months worth of content and it feels much more balanced then it has in the past, thank you for sharing such valuable tips🌷

[@VioletsOnMars]

I'm so happy that I found your channel! You're the best and your videos are super informative. 👏

[@KelseyRodriguez]

Thanks so much for watching and welcome to our community!!

[@SSS765]

Hi Kelsey, just found your channel today in my feed for the first time. Really enjoying the information/education you’re putting out there for your subscribers. Very cool. Keep up the great work. And Thank you for making the worksheet available as a free download. I’m considering what I might have to offer as a KZbin content creator and you worksheet is nicely organized. Again, very cool of you to do that. 😎👍🏻👍🏻

[@kaleidoscopekai]

i just started and feel so overwhelmed and this is so helpful thank you so much, your videos are always very helpful

[@timhoulihan5177]

Thanks for this, Kelsey. I really want to succeed at this. I'm really glad I found you.

[@artbynao]

Thank you for a great intense video. No one ever makes there types of videos and made it so helpful

[@MonicaMolinar]

Yep! Another massively helpful talkie bit from you! Yay! 😊

[@zuzu_1]

Wow thanks as always Kelsey. I posted one video to my art channel and totally felt drained since it was “high effort” and I had no other ideas in the meantime. This made a lot of sense, and makes it seem way more achievable.

[@inthemakingca]

This was a very helpful conversation. Good advice on video topic planning. Thank you for giving your careful thoughts here

[@angelagschwind2994]

What a great video! I just found you on KZbin and really like your channel. Keep it up!❤

[@vulpipunkgaming]

Great informative video, exactly the reinforcement i needed for my own content planning. Thank for the infomation

[@chromagik]

Thank you for this Kelsey 😊 I am just beginning my KZbin journey and have been struggling to work out a content plan so this is super helpful. It feels a bit overwhelming at the moment but I know I just have to start!

[@splendidcyan]

Oh my god, I think I'm in love with this template and method. I have had a bunch of video ideas all scribbled down in my notion, but that Venn Diagram take is so interesting to play with. Thank you thank you thank you!!! I know this is focused on videos for KZbin, but I'm so excited to apply it to other bits of social media too.

[@RumboMercy]

Thank you for making this! I'm a small art KZbinr and I've been looking for good resources in this niche. This was perfect!

[@rikadehombreux4573]

Thank you so much for sharing Kelsey 💖🙏💖😊

[@flanzella]

Always so happy to see your videos! You've inspired me to finally start posting to my channel ☺️

[@raeclairdeluneart]

Thank you so much, Kelsey, for this video. I still feel like I'm floundering around with the content I'm making but your suggestions are really helpful. Thank you!

[@ivakunciakart]

Thank you for this! It's super helpful! ❤

[@TyTLZacharie]

Thanks for the tips Kelsey. Your videos are always so helpful. This one helps me out a lot. Not only are these tips good for long term content but for short term content as well. Which I figured was your point. Lol

[@bluewren65]

You are so engaging to watch. The content here is stellar, but seriously, you could be talking about anything and I'd probably watch it to the end.

[@Artystrique]

Hi Kelsey, thanks for such great content! I'm going to give you what may seem like a back-handed compliment here, but I mean it wholeheartedly, and it really is a conundrum for me. Here it is: Your videos are SO motivating that I have trouble sitting through them! You give such great, concise pointers, that I often hit the first one, have to stop the video, and go do it! I have never responded that way to another KZbinr. Thanks to you, I've already gotten my Discord up, and connected to my KZbin, and my website isn't even done yet. Thank so much!

[@sgotach_7581]

Thank you for your videos💜 p.s luv your lamp

[@atlastnicole]

I struggle with having content variety, but you’re spot on about me making high effort content one after the next. I crochet and I know my audience likes crochet doll tutorials, but that takes me a good week to create which I can’t afford to do all the time. I feel like it’s also harder to make different types of videos on crochet on the regular unless it’s tutorial on different stitches which are more low end efforts. Great video btw!

[@danielawilliam]

This is a great video because is focused on ART, I always see strategy tips for business, for selling, etc. Your channel is really the best.

[@jessicaangelesart]

I should definitely follow this strategy! I'm a newbie art youtuber and totally agree with the huge effort that comes with oil painting for each video I post 😅 it could certainly cause burnout and stress! Now on to more sustainable strategy! Thank you so much for the advice❤❤❤

[@Gnaboaix]

Woah great tips! Gonna apply them asap. Thank you so much for sharing 🫀

[@AngellSanvii]

Uf, I needed this. I'm completely stuck with my channel. Thank you!

[@emart7523]

Very informative video, been planning on starting to post videos so this is perfect!

[@katreilly87]

So helpful! Thank you Kelsey!

[@MariannesStudio]

That was really clear and informative! Thanks Kelsey :)

[@toastella6650]

thanks for the tips! i recently got huge burnout from posting on social media but learning to mix low and high effort posts will really help with that :)

[@fairiesandfancies]

I’m starting up my channel and this is great advice! Thank you! So glad tumble creatures recommended your channel to me.

[@KMGunnArt]

This video has given me ideas - and I hope you take it for the high compliment I intend it to be. I just found your channel this week, and am a new sub because I like your topics.

[@SkinnyPigDesigns]

I wish that I had found this video sooner! It would have saved me from a lot of heartache and even a lot of wasted money that I spent on social media coaches that really got me nowhere. You made me realize that it's completely different when you're an artist vs being a social media marketer. I especially loved how you explained that we should look at our own goals because I've been taught so many times that you post for your customer, not for you, but I think that's what made me burn out and hate not just posting, but also my art itself. Thank you for this great video!!! 😀

[@catarinaldi]

Amazing tips, thank you!

[@ChaosSparkles]

Thank you so much, you've been so helpful and motivational. I've tried starting a few art channels and either lose motivation, get distracted with other parts of life, or like my last one where I lost my password and couldn't even log into it. I'm trying to really stick with this one and not let depression and ADHD ruin it for me.

[@DaGiannone]

Thank you 🎉so helpful I love your channel and your vibe #boundaries with social media 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Frameabless]

This was so helpfull! Thank you so much I love youre videos 😃

[@imagemakerssociety]

Kelsey this video is gold! I can’t even recall how I found you but all that matters is that I did. I don’t know what I was expecting from this video but it wasn’t this…this is EVEN better! Thank you for sharing. If you’re ever in Tampa would love to buy you lunch and talk shop. Blessings to you sister, keep the fire alive 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽 🎨

[@josephfleming3951]

I appreciate your videos! Keep doing your best, and we will be here with you…

[@ivanasmit3097]

Thank you I just started social media for my art and it has been nerve racking ,but your tips are very helpfull.

[@artofmaeve]

It is very insightful to hear about this topic from another OIL painter! I honestly suck at content making. I struggle to keep high effort work progress interesting to keep watching. Your knowledge gave me ideas of how I can improve.

[@lagolas36]

I just want to express my gratitude and support for you and your chanel. I started a art oriented page in Instagram and you helped me 110% in my journey before I even made the page. Thank you again for your efforts, interesting topics and very beautiful art. Keep it up and stay inspired to do art!

[@bellamardner5370]

Thank you for this upload, I have started a channel 2 years ago and I was sometimes stuck on ideas/topics to talk about or find topics that my target audience would like. I people like fan re-draws videos.

This content is great stuff, keep it going

[@LilMoonieDragon]

This video is incredibly helpful Kelsey, thank you for sharing your strategies! Finding ways to create content without burning yourself out is so key in the youtube and I've started thinking about this a lot recently. A good friend of mine that I tell about my youtube journey has been telling me that I need to find a way to get easier to make (so-called "low effort") videos on my channel in order to help me grow. So we'll see lol~

[@BEe-hi4my]

We love you Kelsey 🤗✨🧡

This is a very clear and useful information - I made a lot of notes> Thanks 🤗

[@thestellarelite]

This was a good one thank you so much! Think I found you trying to figure out what to do about instagram and your video about how awful/soul crushing it is came up lol. Can't believe it's been two years and I still havent' started my youtube channel. It's really scary! Been filming lots so hopefully soon 😂

[@aohamer]

I've watched a thousand Squarespace ads and been using them for over 7 years, but I never knew that you could use code to create your own custom font! 🤯 I'm about to revamp my whole *ish! I love your concept of balancing high effort with low effort to minimize burn out. Solid advice. This is great for Art KZbinrs, not sure if it applies for other creators but it was super helpful for me. Thanks so much!

[@KelseyRodriguez]

you aren't creating a custom font but just adding one to the platform via CSS! I get all my fonts via creative market and then add them to my website via css on the specific font setting I want to override (like heading 1, heading 2, etc)

[@aohamer]

@@KelseyRodriguez Gotchu, that's good to know. I'll look into it and give it a try, thanks so much 🙏🏾

[@FridoandFriends]

I love your content 🥰

[@hackerandpainter]

Kelsey tysm for sharing these notion templates!!! they could seriously be a work book one day. thanks for your transparency and all you do for the aspiring artist / content creators out there. Have you read "the artist's way" by julia cameron? feels like something that would be up your alley!

[@iki8400]

thank you so much

[@shockingheaven]

Thank you, this was actually helpful. I'm too bad at prioritizing and end up biting more than I can chew, which leads be to abandoning my projects.

[@Brandon.manga.]

I'm getting great value from your videos, I so want to be my own boss. With hard work I hope to reach where you are.

[@ollietheartist1719]

Thank you SO much ❤❤❤

[@JasperDamste]

Very helpfull. Thank you

[@FionaCArt]

What I really took away from this is the ranking of videos from low, medium to high. Because a lot of the time, I do too many "high" videos lol Thanks for sharing!

[@amandaray_art]

Appreciate the advice on content planning! Also, I’d love to hear your your advice/insights on how to make a story out of a studio Vlog 😊

[@leemiller2243]

mr beast has an entire staff so high effort for him is low effort to us if that makes sense. This video was extremely helpful

[@LuvCroissant]

Such a great video, thank you girly, you always make things simple and straightforward. You are really out here helping folks!!! Would love to see an artist advice for creating a patron! I'm more of a webcomic creator, but I find your channel so so helpful for anyone that's a creative. I don't know what I would offer when I don't have resources to commit to prints or stickers just yet. Would people sub to you if you only offer digital content like pdfs of art?

[@LloydLewisArtist]

Great video.
