Contribute to the channel and future videos.
Making YouTube videos as a 'small channel' is truly a labor of love, and the time I've spent connecting with viewers and creating content that helps others has been incredible.
But the truth is, it takes a significant amount of time and money to keep the channel going. As many of you may know, ad revenue doesn't pay the bills and small channels aren’t exactly swimming in sponsorship deals to cover costs. While making these videos may seem like the easiest thing in the world, as a one person team, every video requires hours of planning, driving, filming, and even longer editing (SO much time editing!)
I've been freelancing in the photography/editing space for years, but as I started dedicating more time to creating YouTube videos, that meant less time getting paid work to pay the bills (and let’s be honest, buy my dog an unhealthy amount of soft cuddly toys.)
If you enjoy my content enough, and are in a position yourself to contribute, a donation of any size would be a massive help. Your support will directly go toward the time and resources needed to keep creating and improving the videos. Ultimately, it helps me to focus on making the best possible content for you.
If you do choose to contribute, a simple "thank you" doesn't feel like enough, but please know that your generosity means the world and is a direct support for the future of my channel and all the ideas I have for building a wonderful photography community going forward.
PS I should say, if you would like to contribute to the channel AND get something cool back in return, feel free to check out my digital products on my shop. Thank you!
