Looking back at how I approached content more than 15 years ago... compared to now. My community has shifted, grown, and evolved over that time, so that it's not ALL online, though my online communities are still very important to me. I've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes, as some of you know, so in this video I want to share what is now ready for public sharing again! As well as just some more context of what's probably going on when you don't see me here on public platforms.

Thanks so much for being here. Please subscribe to the channel if you haven't already, and Like the video if you enjoyed it, as both really help out. Analytics show that most people who watch my videos aren't subscribed (and I'm so guilty of not realizing and forgetting to do it, too! even for my favorite channels! which is why I want to actually remind y'all).
~ Solo Creator Life ~
I realized recently that many creators I enjoy content from these days have some kind of help or assistance from other people -- a spouse, a friend/business partner, or in some cases hired assistants, managers, or whole teams. Often I don't realize that at first, unless they make it very clear. So similarly, I wanted to state in this video (and here) in case anyone was wondering --
- I am a solo creator. I do all my own writing, editing, thumbnails, socials, everything. It's all me, from my brain, done in my own time.
- I love watching creative duos and teams, and I feel like it must be so fun to have others to work with in that way! So by no means am I saying there is anything wrong with it. I just want to be clear that I am doing all these creative aspects myself. That also factors into my personal limitations, schedule, and issues like burnout!
