life + mental health update: mid-January edition! 💕
🕑 Added 2025-01-21 16:35:50 +0000 UTCWe made it to 2025! And I've still been... struggling. Not gonna lie, I feel like I've been stressed for the entirety of 2024 and I've gotta fix that lol. My lease renews in February, and I think the best option is for us to stay here, but I have to be able to afford it.
TLDR: short hiatus on irl content ONLY! Patreon posts will remain the same. I just need to rethink my approach to Fansly because I'm really burnt out. I enjoy it but the effort is not worth the amount of money I'm making.
A lot of you probably know that I started making irl content back in December 2023 on Fansly because I knew we needed to move out from living with family, and had to have another source of income to make that happen. It was totally new to me and I've learned a lot since! I genuinely do enjoy making that kind of stuff too, but for full transparency, I need a damn break.
There is no point in overworking myself and trying to be a full irl creator PLUS making audio when I can't pay my rent. I'm just gonna be super upfront to give you an idea of what I mean– I am currently making under $2000 total monthly; rent and utilities take up 80% of that. I made $1000 total in my top month on Fansly, and it's been less since then. I've tried so many different things, and throughout the past year I've made myself keep posting almost single day, doing more, showing more in the hopes that it'll somehow pay off... and it's not working to the extent that I need it to. If I make maybe $100 more from the previous month on Fansly after putting in effort to improve my content and post 3x daily, that's only going to lead to extreme burnout, which is what I'm feeling right now!
As a consequence, trying so hard with that kind of content gave me less time to focus on audio, which is my primary source of income right now. So, my goal is to take a step back from Fansly for a few weeks to a month, and actually plan out content I WANT to post instead of feeling like I have to just post something multiple times a day like a content machine, and figure out how to make it sustainable financially for the amount of time I spend creating. I'm a single mom, y'all. I'm trying to work full time when I have maybe 20 hours a week to actually sit down and focus lol.
The last time I told myself I'd take a bit of time off, my grandma's house was flooded by a hurricane, so... I didn't get to chill out, and then had to go right back to churning out content bc I needed money to survive.
With all that said, I'm not going anywhere! I genuinely love making content whether audio or irl, and I just need to take some time to actually think about "what do I want to make?" rather than feeling like I just have to film something quickly and post it. I really want to thrive in life, as a creator, and as a mom. Thank you for being here with me, your support means so much ❤️
