In this episode of Hear Me Out, Nicole and Lisa share the real story behind growing our scrapbooking YouTube channels and learning how to monetize our creative work without losing what makes it fun. We talk about how we started and what no one tells you about affiliate links, sponsorships, YouTube memberships, and the technical stuff that comes with managing multiple platforms. We dig into the awkward side of making money as a content creator, the challenges of small channels, and why using affiliate links truly helps support the creators you enjoy. If you’re curious about YouTube growth, content creation, and the balance between passion and profit in the scrapbooking world, this episode is for you.
