The Unexpected Gypsy | MY FIRST YEAR AS A FULL-TIME ARTIST - LOST MY JOB due to lockdown & how I make a living, 3 ways @theunexpectedgypsy | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
First-year as a full-time artist - In this video, I am sharing my journey from a part-time job to becoming a full-time artist. How I lost all my income due to the lockdown but grew my business with three sources of income. I share how I started and grew my YouTube channel, how I started and grew my Patreon page and also how I made more sales in my Etsy shop. I also talk about my self-care routines and finding my balance between life and work. There's art for wellbeing and therapy and of course some dancing if you make it to the end! I truly need to thank everyone for all your support over the past year, whether that has been visiting my Etsy shop, being a (past or present) Patron or supporting my YouTube channel by watching, liking, commenting and subscribing. All of these things help me so much and I really couldn't have made the leap into becoming a full-time artist without you.
As always, thanks so much for watching and all the support, encouragement, lovely comments and connections.
Lots of love & big soft virtual hugs, Wendy Xx
