I started this account in March as an experiment: is there actually money to be made from content creation? I made my first income in July, and again in August. But brand deals usually have a 30-day payment cycle, so I’m only counting money that has actually reached my bank account. I’m not going to tell you I made $30K in a month—because I didn’t. Creators earning that much exist, but they’re still the minority. Most of us are figuring it out as we go. I definitely am. I still don’t know the “right” way to monetize this page—but that’s the point of the experiment. I’ll keep testing things, learning through trial and error, and sharing the real journey with you. If you’re also trying to grow or monetize your content, drop your questions below. And if you think there’s something I should try, I’m listening 👀 [content creator income, Instagram monetization, making money on social media, creator economy, brand deals, influencer income, growing on Instagram, monetizing a small audience, beginner content creator, building a personal brand, yapping on the internet]
