In this video I’m breaking down the 5 ways I make money as a YouTuber and photographer—and I’m sharing the exact numbers so it’s not just vague “multiple streams of income” talk. I walk you through what actually pays, what’s more unpredictable, and how the mix has changed as I’ve built my career here in Berlin as an artsy freelancer. The whole point is to give you a realistic look at what you can earn in this kind of creative business, not a highlight reel. I also explain how I built each income stream over time and why I added it when I did—because stacking income sources only makes sense if you can sustain them. Some streams are more “active” (you do the work, you get paid), and some are more scalable once they’re set up, but they all take time to grow. I’m also using this video as a baseline to document my progress, so I can look back later and hopefully see real growth—not just in revenue, but in stability and how intentional my business has become.
