anattynook | my thoughts on being a youtuber | growing a small channel in 2021 @anattynook | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
just a few months ago, one of my videos went viral and I have had a lot of thoughts since. starting a youtube channel seems to be a really popular side hustle nowadays with lots of people going into content creating with an entrepreneurial spirit.

me, with my usual overthinking self, has yet to really grapple with this new identity. are there ethical ways to make money on youtube? is it worth growing your channel and getting all this attention? I don't have the answers but hopefully this video sheds some light into the behind-the-scenes thought process I go through on this channel.

thanks for watching once again and thank you to the lovely patrons who treated me coffees this month:
