The Cost of Being a Creator: Tracking Our Spending and Earning.
We create content for pleasure and joy, to satisfy our curiosity. If others find it useful or enjoyable, that's an added bonus. We have created this platform as the medium for our distribution.
But let’s be brutally honest. We need to sustain ourselves in order to pursue the things we are curious about. Currently, the bills are paid outside of this platform. Would we like this platform to one day sustain us?
Yes, we definitely would.
This is a record and reminder of where we started and where we might end up.
Note:
The $values shown below take into account the cost and/or expenditure exclusive to creating content;
i.e. whether it was for a specific YouTube video, Instagram reel, photo shoot and/or blogpost.
e.g. cost of equipment, cost of travel and fees, but excluding manhour and food costs.
Think of it like claiming business expenses.
