Why I'm Choosing Art Over Algorithms
Hey everyone! In this video, I'm getting real and honest with you about my journey on YouTube so far. When I started, I was so focused on making "trendy" videos to get monetized and grow fast, but I quickly realized it was taking a toll on my art.
I felt like I was just creating content, not creating art. So, I'm making a change. I want to shift my focus to sharing my real art journey with you, from the messy sketches to the finished pieces, to show you that you are not alone in this creative path.
In this video, I'm sharing:
💛 My initial YouTube strategy and what went wrong.
💛 Why I'm choosing to be honest, not trendy.
💛 My thoughts on balancing creativity with making content.
💛 The new direction for my channel and my weekly art schedule.
💛 A very honest chat about getting monetized and my goals for this journey.
I hope this video makes you feel something and reminds you that being an artist isn't always fast and shiny.
