Taylor … Canadian corporate guru here! I echo people’s sentiments about the set up of your content - impressive! Curious to know if you have to structure in (purchase) insurance coverage, specifically for your future consulting income stream? This class of business (as we refer to it in Canada) would be referred into a speciality market to be underwritten by a carrier. Curious about this over head cost and what insurance carrier would offer. Cheers!

Right, you can see the consultant in her coming out.

What i would love to see is a day in the life breakdown. Like from the moment you wake up, all the planning, shooting, editing, replying to emails or whatever you do, and how you structure your day. I feel like normal people just assume YT'ers have a shit ton of free time and they don't actually work a lot. And timestamps would be extremely helpful too.

@TaylorBell would also love this video but keen to see if you outsource any of your activities like video editing and if so where you found them, at what point in your journey you did that and how much it costs.

I love the fact that your pointer is in fact a spatula. A spatula is actually really cool.

Amazing video. I also think that being a KZreadr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of Famester of course to help) will always pay off at the end. Good luck to everybody, you will all succeed one day!!

Thankyou so much for being os transparent about your revenue streams and income. Not a lot of creators talk about their finances transparently . Kudos for 400k subs!

@@shayakghosal7456diameter of pie is increasing! Still not quite as large as before (I.e, I haven’t made up the full amount of my consulting income yet) but well on its way :) and 2) i think KZread has a control for that / bots, but not totally sure

Nothing I love more than an interactive pie chart; the spatula pointer honed my focus on the presentation....as well as making a pie. Great video.

I have watched at least seventy videos over the last five years covering this exact topic and when i say no one I've watched has actually given figures WITH CONTEXT when it comes to brand deals, I actually mean NO ONE. It's always, "some brands can pay you six figures, it depends." The end. So thank you very much Taylor. Thank you. Lowkey not a fan of comments like this exact one I'm writing because i used to think, "how much research did you (the viewer) actually do?" but I swear I was waiting for some workaround to not mention figures but it didn't happen! and I have to appreciate it lol. Honestly thought it was illegal at some point with how discreet everyone was being.

Your transparency on "taboo" subjects is amazing and respected! Not only do I love watching your informative videos, but your vlogs are just as great, too! Hope you have an amazing weekend!

I am not a creator, but I love these types of videos. It’s really refreshing when someone shares their income streams. And I work with college freshman through college seniors with a variety of majors, but in a college of business, and I love to be up to date on potential Careers or just side hustles or other income streams for them. Good luck, girl!🎉

Thanks for putting this one out Taylor! Brand deals are definitely super opaque and as a newer creator myself it's pretty intimidating figuring out what deals are worth pursuing / are considered "fair". Also, love how you've mastered the art of subtly inserting sponsorships into your videos in a fun and creative way 🙌 Best of luck from another BCGer!

To answer your question, I'm definitely interested in a video about what a work day for a content creator actually looks like from start to finish! Obviously it will vary from day to day, but when creators say they have a busy work day, I'm always wondering what it entails -- answering emails for hours? writing scripts? filming? editing? researching a company that reaches out for a sponsorship? Like how long do these things actually take, and is it a 40-hour a week job? Or would you say it generally takes less (or more) time each day than a typical corporate job? I feel like most creators (at least the ones I watch) are vague about this, and I have really appreciated your transparency on various topics in previous videos!

Love how you broke the video down. You content is always well thought out and you even make finance entertaining. I know most or 60% of the new content will be content on finances and but HOPEFULLY the other 40% will still be the fun lifestyle content the “how much i spend in a week”, random NYC videos about cool stuff to check out and the big one the Katz Experience vlog post when it eventually happens. Hope you’re enjoying the post consulting life as a full time creator. Kudos as always for another informative yet entertaining vid…Go Turtle Gang!

great vid Tay!! Also congrats on 400k+ subs!!!

I really love your perspective on finance. I know very little on the subject and you explain it in such a user friendly way! Honestly if you took more confusing finance topics and explained them that would be amazing! For example, topics like investing in different ways, credit card debt, etc Also, love seeing your lifestyle videos too, your personality really shines! People will watch what you do because you are genuine and brave enough to put yourself out there!

Loved how you incorporated your consulting presentation skills into the video. Simple and easy to follow. Great Job!!!! Congrats!

That’s was an elaborate and well explained video ..Thankyou Taylor for taking an initiative to brief the process and the reality behind the KZread income generation!

I've just really started working my KZread for the past year, as more than a hobby; person on a mission, energy. I've watched a lot of How-To advice videos and this has been the best, most straight forward. This is my first time seeing you and I can tell I can learn a lot from you about Vlogging. Thank you! Very entertaining, educational and kept me engaged til the end.

As a KZreadr in tech, I just want to say what Taylor said was very on point! Really like your personal brand and content. Hope you see more of it coming 🙌

Thanks for the info, Taylor, awesome stuff! The bloopers were fun too! I'm still pretty small as a content creator but as I grow my channel this will help. Thanks so much!

Some ideas for future videos: 1. Insider Panel: Consultant, Banker, PE/VC Analyst talk about their jobs and lifestyles. 2. Home Buying Plans: How would you approach buying a home? If not NY, CA, then where? 3. Coworking Spaces: Showdown

As a baby youtuber, I appreciate how informative and clear you are. Also your silly humor. I love it. ❤️

"Not too shabby!" Taylor for making $300k+ a year as a Creator! Thanks so much for the transparency. You made the whole 'youtube creator lifestyle' digestible.

I’m a business and student at the University of Missouri, a videographer for our athletics, and also want to live in NYC when I’m older so needless to say you’ve been an inspiration and I’d love to meet you! It would also be so cool to help you with a video or anything you’re working on! Either way, if you’d let me know that would be awesome! You seem like such a genuine person, so just keep doing you!

Thank you for lifting the curtain a bit on how money is made by content creators. It was pretty much abracadabra for me. I came here after watching a video from Rick Beato (the guy who interviews famous and respected musicians) on what musicians make on a million or even a billion streams. That is a lot less transparent.

As if the informative breakdown wasn’t enough, the spatula pointer really sells it. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Taylor! I really enjoy your videos, never miss a single one. Since you asked your viewers for suggestions, I'd really like to see content on life in NYC (such as the one you made on speakeasies). It's entertaining and educational to learn more about what is possibly the most famous city on earth!

It's the spatula and great handwriting for me. Awesome content, thanks for sharing. NYC is one of my favorite places to visit, would love to have an extended stay there once in this lifetime!

YESSSS This is exactly the video I need now that I'm wanting to become a creator. Thank you it's hard to find information like this put so clearly. Would love one that's beginner friendly about setting up accounts, banks, etc. for becoming creator. Like a simple walk through because as easy as it sounds there's almost no good tutorials online. Thnx Taylor keep it up!

Well knock me over with a feather! Had absolutely no idea how complex this whole KZread 'thang' could be. Not so much interested in the monetary return, although cash is important, but the actual mechanics involved and the now obvious attraction for those intent on making a career of the medium is, for want of a better description, mind blowing. Have always believed you to be an intelligent young woman Taylor but to receive first hand input on a financial aspect such as this makes me realise just how clever you are. The presentation was top shelf and using what I assume is a spatula as a prop is some kind of genius 😂😂😂 Success beckons and just glad to have the opportunity to follow your journey - great video!!!!!!!

I'm a fan of your "Day In The Life" videos, but whatever topic you cover, I'll be watching. KZread has replaced regular network TV for me, and content creators like you have become my go-to for entertainment. Thank you, Ms. Taylor Bell!!!

Super cool video, I'm definitely a fan of yours now! I just also want to comment on your presentation skills and explaintions in your videos. 1. Super impressive! You took what would normally be a super boring power point given to me, and turned it into a fun whiteboard / kitchen utensle attention grabber. I have really bad ADHD and I legit didn't zone out once. That says a LOT. 2. The way you explain things and present them verbally / visually is also really impressive. It's very noticable that you take this seriously. Beyond that though is just your sheer talent. I think you found your calling for sure! Lastly, You've really given me a reason to look into becoming my own content creator. I've worked 24 years for the big man and I'm really burnt out from it. If I do decide to hop into this work, I really believe this video will help me succeed, so thank you!

Hey Taylor! What a detailed and informative video!! I've seen a couple of these in the past but I don't think I've watched one as informative as yours. One question I had was regarding brand deals, if these are calculated by CPM, is that not a moving target for each video over time therefore brand deals keep paying for brand deals over time? That part was clear with ad rev but I didn't understand it for brand deals. On your other point, I'd love to see NYC finance videos specifically on housing cost per neighborhood and pro cons of living in each neighborhood for someone interested to move to NYC :) thanks!

Amazing content, thanks so much for breaking it down. I'm just about to hit my one year anniversary as a KZread creator and was monitized in January. The analytics regarding monetization and other related revenue streams can be a bit overwhelming and you did a great job dissecting them. Keep up the great work!

Super interesting video. And the spatula/pointer is just perfect. In terms of creator-related content, some interesting videos could be: how to build viewership, how to collaborate with other creators, or how you use different platforms (e.g., social media) to build your brand.

Really a fantastic video! Super informative, and really well made. I actually just assigned this video to watch to the students in my biology classes.

Okay, this was excellent. Really appreciate the direct and straightforward breakdown of the sponsorship deals and your discussion of niches. It’s been quite difficult to find info about this, and the niche discussion was a very insightful/helpful addition. Great vid - thanks.

I love when creators are transparent about their income, especially as a NEW creator here. I created my channel, along with a book, to educate as many young people as possible, with ways to get out of debt, build savings and to live more frugally. I genuinely hate seeing people stressed and drowning in debt, but the problem in this country is that finance is not really taught in schools and parents treat money like a taboo topic. Anyhow, it's my small part to give back and to also inspire others. Thank you for being an inspiration to me, as well as many other new KZreadrs:)

This is one of the most impactful videos I've seen on here so far... keep up the great work!
