Some artists shared real numbers but don't be distracted by those numbers. It is tempting to start a channel for the money, but you won't see the money until much later. That's to say that this is not going to be a monthly salaried job. Copy the work rate of those artists instead. Copy what they do.
Kickstarter. Scams. Influencers
Kickstarter is a useful platform for people to raise the necessary funds to make and bring products to the market. Unfortunately, as with anything that involves money, there are also scammers who use Kickstarter to cheat money. Identifying scams on Kickstarter is not easy, just like nobody knows you're a dog in the internet.

Is it still worth it to be a professional artist in 2023?
I'm kinda in the same situation as Arleesha Yetzer since I would consider myself a content creator and Youtube artist.
