THANK YOU, oh geez I thought I was the only one who preferred YouTubers that posted less, haha. I mean don't get me wrong, there are artists that post super often that I love too, but there are some that only post every 2-3 weeks... and I genuinely look forward to seeing what they've worked on in all that time.

"Art is not content". This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Couldn't agree more. I'm currently struggling a bit with keeping up with my schedule and have too many projects I want to do. And however much it pains me that I can't clone myself or work faster and more efficiently, I think I need to slow down my pace a bit and - like you mentioned - focus on quality over quantity. Man... patience is not my strength. 😂
But this video gave me some encouragement. Thank you. 🙏🏻

I'm a disabled artist, and I know what I want, but I've been struggling with getting there.
I can't do something everyday. And social media thrives on that consistency. Watching you explain that I don't have to post daily forever was the advice I needed to hear today. Thank you so much for that.

"The goal here is to launch your art career, not to become a content creator." Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! You speak so much truth Kelsey. I needed to hear this. It is so easy to lose focus when there is so much advice about on youtube. All the best ❤
P.S. I'm loving the notion downloads/workbook in your shop. So helpful. Thank you

I think you're the first person I've ever watched to say that the career/passion you're pursuing isn't the content, and that you're not trying to be a "content creator", there's a difference.
I think a lot of people get lost in the process of staring/strategy that that investment overshadows what they were doing in the first place.
Thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much for this. "Art is not content" is something I really needed to hear. I do realistic colour pencil drawings but I'm very slow because I prefer quality over quantity. It takes me 2 - 3 months (or 60 - 90h of actual drawing time) and I feel this constant pressure to produce more and that I'm never going to succeed if I don't. This video has helped and reassured me so much ❤

Thank you so much for acknowledging that art takes time to create and therefore artists can’t be expected to keep up with a social media schedule in the way that other content creators do. That’s so liberating to hear. I feel like I now have permission to take my time with my work to share quality over quantity x

"It takes time to make what we make, and we should give that the respect that it deserves."
As someone who launched back in 2017 and hit a hard burnout last year, I am here to refresh my brand and re-launch again.
Thank you for all of this, Kelsey. I admit I did consider myself a content creator for the majority of the time I was creating in those 5-6 years.
Pumping out content, running myself to the ground and not getting the financial stability I wanted from my art. It's difficult. And it doesn't really get easier. But we artists never really credit ourselves how much we grow. How much we grow stronger— with skills, strategy and business savvy. That takes time. That takes strength and launching—attempting— takes so much courage. I'm proud of you! I'm proud of us!
Please keep going!

THANK YOU for sharing all of the information that you’re sharing. I find a lot of people want to charge to talk about all of this and so I deeply appreciate that you’re so open to sharing it. I feel at a loss when it comes to beginning, and I really appreciate being able to hear your advice. Thank you so much.
