ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Do you feel like you never have enough time to actually create anymore? You started your creative business because you loved making things - but somewhere along the way, the creating got smaller and the business took over.Ā
This video walks through 5 practical shifts that help creative business owners get their creative time back. Not by working more hours or waking up at 4amā¦but by being really intentional about where the time is actually going.
If you're an artist, illustrator, maker or creative business owner who's struggling to find time to create around running your business, this one is for you!
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
Why your creative time keeps disappearing
Why itās important to track where your time is actually going so you can start to change it
The batching method that protects your creative time without overhauling your whole week
Why you don't need a perfect system - just one that holds everything in one place

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How do small creators get brand deals on YouTube? I've never pitched a sponsorship in my life - yet brands like Wix, Skillshare, Flexispot, BenQ and Domestika have reached out to work with me, even when I had under 2,000 subscribers. This video breaks down the 5 reasons brands reach out to small creators, so you can start attracting brand deals and sponsorships with a small audience too.
There's a common assumption that brand sponsorships only go to creators with hundreds of thousands of followers - but that's not what I've seen. Brands actively prefer working with micro influencers (10k-100k) and nano influencers (under 10k), because trust and engagement run stronger at smaller scale. My first paid brand deal was Ā£800 per video for two videos, and what landed it wasn't my follower count - it was the way my content was structured. This video walks through exactly how to position yourself as the kind of creator brands want to sponsor.
If you're a small creator, an artist, illustrator, maker or creative business owner who's wondered how to get brand deals on YouTube without a huge audience (or how to attract sponsorships without pitching), this is the breakdown.Ā
This episode is perfect for:
Small creators who want brand deals without a big audience
Artists, illustrators and makers looking to land their first sponsorship
Nano and micro influencers wondering how to monetise
Creative business owners building income through brand partnerships
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Why you don't need a big audience to land brand deals
The exact 5 reasons brands started reaching out to me without me pitching

Episode 44

Get the exact system I use to run my creative businessā¦all-in-one visual hub built for creatives. Now with a 7-day free trial: https://www.artova.io/
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
If you've been working on your creative business every single week - posting, making, trying thingsā¦and still feel like nothing's actually moving forward, this video is for you. Most of the time, it's not that you're missing effort. It's that you're missing the bigger picture of how it's all meant to fit together.
In this episode, I'm walking you through the four phases of launching a creative business this year - the no-fluff roadmap of what I'd do if I was starting the whole thing over again today. It's built from everything I've learnt the hard way across two YouTube channels, one rebrand, three kids, and six years of genuinely figuring this out in real time.
Each phase builds on the last, and each one does something different for your business.Ā
This episode is perfect for:
Artists, makers and creative business owners who feel busy but not productive
Creators who've been posting consistently but aren't seeing traction
Anyone thinking about launching (or re-launching) a creative business this year
Creative entrepreneurs who want a clear roadmap instead of scattered advice
Makers ready to stop winging it and start building something sustainable
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
The four phases of launching a creative business (and why most creators skip phase four)
How to tell which phase you're actually in - and what to focus on right now
The exact roadmap I'd follow if I was starting my creative business over from scratch
Why doing "all the right things" in the wrong order keeps you stuck
45 // How I Built a Creative Business That Doesnāt Rely on Product Sales
Episode 45
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 ā¢ Duration 21:43
TRY ARTOVA FREE FOR 7 DAYS - the hub I built for creative business owners to run ideas, product launches, content, and inspiration in one place. Designed for visual thinkers and creative brains. Cancel any time: https://www.artova.io/
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
If you're a creative business owner, artist, or maker who's been told to "just build multiple income streams" but nobody's actually shown you what that looks like in real life - this episode is for you!
So much of the advice around building a full-time creative business is either vague "diversify your income!" or wildly over-promised "make Ā£7k a month passively from one digital product!". Neither of those reflects what it's actually like when you're trying to turn your content into a sustainable creative income.
In this episode, I'm walking you through the 5 income streams that content can actually build for your creative business - with honest numbers from my own experience across both of my YouTube channels. I'm covering product sales, YouTube AdSense and platform monetisation, brand partnerships, digital products, and affiliate income - and where most creators are leaving serious money on the table.
Whether you sell handmade products, run an art shop, create digital offers, or you're just starting to build content around your creative business, this video will help you see all five layers clearly so you can build the ones that actually fit your business.
This episode is perfect for:
ā¢ Creative business owners trying to go full-time
ā¢ Artists and makers who want to monetise their content
ā¢ Product-based creatives relying too heavily on art sales

A lot of content batching advice isnāt made for creative business owners.

In this episode, Iām breaking down a much more realistic way to batch content when you run a creative business. Iām sharing the 3 simple shifts that make content batching feel lighter, easier to stick to, and much more sustainable - especially if you sell products, run a handmade business, or juggle content creation alongside everything else.
