The Digital Era: How the Tables Have Turned for Creatives

[@YesStefinitely]

“Gather your paintbrushes, it’s time for world domination.” This fired me up girl! Thank you!

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

@@YesStefinitely haha you’re welcome!!!

[@CamriLandkamerArt]

Girl you just spoke to my sooouuull. I started a youtube channel a few weeks ago and then found your channel. You are inspiring and encouraging me! Thank you! ❤

[@donnasilva46]

I’m 66 years old and I have to say, this was the best “art” video I’ve seen in a long time. I’m super excited to give it a go! Thank you so much! It’s mind boggling!

[@Behindgew]

No kidding. Im 45 year old mama to 5 so trust me I've been given advice at nauseam. This is the best advice I've heard in at least 2 kids ago.

[@Stormcryo]

As an artist myself, I remember coming across an animated story time channel back in elementary school. It was then I knew I wanted to do the same. I initially started posting my artwork around when I first started 6th grade. Granted I wasn't very good at it as I was still beginning but now here I am graduating this year at 17 seeing a possible future in an art career thanks to my now 6 years of experience posting my hobby online. I don’t earn money off of my channel as it isn’t monetized but I hope to reach that goal within this year and to make a living off my passion soon 🧡

[@Lonnwriting]

You GO guy! Great future you're making for yourself.

[@SantieAmery]

Well, this gave me HOPE. Even being an older artist who gets quite overwhelmed with a lot of the 'new' stuff! Thank you so much for this.

[@WatercolorKari]

Same!!

[@ghostie7790]

YES! it’s easy to forget this when you also have a day job, but you have to ignore that. We creatives need to go out and get what we deserve!

[@laurencasperroad]

I think I've told you before, but I just love your upbeat energy! It makes me want to get busy and create more videos! Thank you!

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

Thank you for the kind words, and you’re welcome! Glad I could be helpful ☺️

[@Immortelleink]

I often find myself amused by how human brains work when I catch myself making a move that shows how many of our actions are shaped by relatability and that even I can't escape that primal drive sometimes. I have seen a few videos of yours and found them all valuable, but I didn't subscribe until now, where one specific sentence made me suddenly hit that button, as if I was struck by a sense of duty, feeling happy to support you but also silly about my simplemindedness at the same time. We are such simple creatures sometimes, haha. Lots of supportive energy to you!

[@mikemcdonaldart]

The whole thing has flipped, where the art itself even isn't the most valuable product for many artists. Even weirder is that you could be making a living exclusively from content that is essentially free for your "customers" (viewers/subscribers) that depicts how to make art and paintings, and those paintings you don't even have to sell (if digital content is your true product now). It's just wild.

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

Exactly! It really is crazy to think about. 😳 Now you can monetize the process of the creation rather than the product!

[@Annalorraine2x]

OK, you too. I'm old-school 57 need some help with my art. I do know a little bit with computers are more than the average 57 year-old.

[@lalithakrishnamurthy9663]

Can I make leaf paintings and make a video?will it get viewers just want to know and Iam sixty plus

[@transcendcapitalism]

you're totally right. divine feminine energy is coming back into balance after millenia of oppression & it's bringing waves of creativity with it 💗

[@valnelson9495]

I just got shivers, thank you for being so real. And saying that artists deserve to not starve.Um---yeah! Everything has been inverted---the creators rule!

[@genewesley7297]

Good job Kayla! You can bet I'll be following you! Thanks!

You’re so welcome 🥹🥹❤️

[@derekharper6327]

I have been so resistant to You tube, but your video has helped me see things in a different light ... starting today with zero subscribers, wish me luck!

[@RodrigoKormann]

That's an interesting point of view. In an era where A.I. are everywhere, the human touch is valuable. Of course, after you study the tool and know how to come up with good prompts, where is the fun on that? AI creates in seconds. There're nothing entertaining in that. However, people creating takes time. It's not about the end, it's about the process, the journey. So, the process...that is fun and interesting! That is the actual entertainment!

[@MurielScheidt]

This is another great video. I’m an artist too and I’m sharing it with my daughter who also is! Thank you!

[@Serrendip56]

Very inspiring, thank you! I am currently growing a sculpting channel and find growing hard at times but I am determined to keep going :)

[@RootedTango1212]

Thank you. You inspired me. I needed to see this video.

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

@@RootedTango1212 you are so welcome, thank you for the feedback 😊

[@MeadowsOfSound]

This is a game-changer for me, as I have always had family in the art business, and the spectre of NFTs selling at 69 million dollars, and AI art in general destroying all meaning and purpose, have held me back. But this is revolutionary. THANK YOU!!!

[@zofiajaneczek184]

People creating Ai art are not necessarily artists! Unless you’re an actual artist using Ai to aide your art. I don’t consider Ai generated art as art. It’s creative prompting by many people who couldn’t comprehend the time, years of practice and in many cases sacrifices and dedication that it takes to create. Creative people are not made, most of us are born into this calling and have generations of creatives in our bloodlines.

[@zofiajaneczek184]

I’m a STARVING WORKER and probably need to shift back to art in order to actually live! I’m at a terrible job and want to quit every single day rn! At the burn out rate that I’m going I’d need 80 hours a week at 2 crappy jobs + one side hustle that fills up the other 20 hours! I’m ready for a change because just a job IS NO LONGER WORKING!

[@margiehochleutner2951]

Oh how you give me so much hope:)

[@kedrynevans6240]

How interesting! KZbin offered this video up to me, I'd never seen your page before. The algorithm is working well today. I am an artist and I appreciate your perspective on this concept. I am not sure I have any interest in pursuing all that you discuss, but I love your encouragement for the people who may want to do this but have fears and obviously old mindsets put upon them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! ☺️

[@EnglishwithAlan]

thanks for this. I'm just in the process of starting up my online shop to sell my art, something I've been dreaming of for about 6 years.

[@christineykim]

You are so right, and so funny. I love your Victorian beauty standards comment. 😂 And your younger brother story. I’m going to make it happen this year. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@uk3dcom]

Well done, you tuned me around in this video. I started with my tired sceptical outlook, "Oh another KZbinr trying to inspire with blah blah blah", But actually, good for you. If you inspire just one or two people and make a few bucks along the way. All power to you. ♥

[@carmenmg6438]

So tired of trying to fight against algoritm and no money at all. Tks a lot

Plump artists 😂😆 lol Great video!✨🤍✨

[@DigitalPaintingWithMark]

Is it making art that is attracting people to channels or the videos about how to make money and how to start a youtube channel? I worry, the only thing to grow my channel is to start talking about how I make money on youtube..unfortunately I don't yet so that isnt even an option.

[@lindaglovergooch]

You are as cute as a button! Great inspiration for creative peeps. 😍

[@KEP1983]

Thanks, this is pretty inspirational but I'm not sure if I can actually do it. How long does it take you to make these videos? I'm not sure I have the time, even though my painting is good enough. I worked in the studio of a famous painter for over a decade, making very expensive highly realistic paintings (he would put his name on them and sell them for a lot of money, but we were the ones who actually painted them). I have the skill that I think people would watch on KZbin and maybe even buy courses. But I simply don't have the time to do my regular job, make these paintings (I paint slowly), and then also make videos. I figure I have about 20 to 25 hours a week of free time that I can dedicate to my art. If a painting takes me 40+ hours, then I also have to spend time shooting and editing, then I simply don't see how I can finish these paintings and videos in a decent amount of time to make enough content to get enough viewers and make a living.

[@joer1402]

You have unlocked the "secret".

[@Mamaof3girls]

You didn’t miss out on anything by not watching SpongeBob! If anything you saved some braincells!!! Who knows just that might be why you can paint the way you can 😂😂😂 You have access to your brain since your parents didn’t allow you to watch that stupid show! Thanks mom and dad!!

[@Annalorraine2x]

OK, like to know something else love your thing. I'm gonna listen to it all but you have 59,000 followers if I'm correct and you just got monetized. I thought you only needed 1000 people or subscribers.

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

I got monetized a few months ago when I finally hit 4,000 total watch hours. The criteria for Monetization is 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of your videos watched. 😀 I also gained about 40,000 of my subscribers in the last few months, so I hope that helps!

[@seanfaherty]

Yeah, no

[@CourageousPainting]

Girl! I remember finding you… a year ago? You posted a video about how you had to go back to working because being a full time artist took the joy out of making art. I am SO happy you blew up and you’re making money from your content. 👊 You are so inspiring. 🥹
