Ever feel like you're putting all your eggs in one creative basket? In this episode, we’re talking about multiple income streams. What they are, how they work, and how to build them in a way that actually supports your energy and goals (not drains them!).

This one's for the creative business owners who’ve been hearing the phrase “multiple income streams” and wondering: “What does that even look like for me?”

In this episode, I’m walking you through ten different income streams that could work beautifully for artists, illustrators, and handmade sellers, from digital products to coaching, commissions to Patreon, YouTube, and more. I’ll give you the real talk on what’s scalable, what’s sustainable, and what’s definitely not for everyone.

You’ll also hear a few stories from my own journey, including what worked, what burnt me out, and what I’d do differently next time. Take what fits, leave what doesn’t, and know that one well-built stream is better than ten leaky ones.

In this episode, we cover:

- How to choose income streams that align with your energy and strengths

- The pros and cons of physical products, commissions, and digital downloads

- What I learned from running (and pausing) a Patreon

- Thoughts on YouTube, brand deals, affiliate marketing and coaching

- Tips for starting small and scaling smart

Today’s Takeaways:

- Building multiple income streams doesn’t mean doing everything, it means choosing the right things for you.

- Physical products, commissions, and markets can be great, but only if they’re built with systems that support you.

- Digital products and memberships can offer freedom, but only if you promote them more than once (hint: automation helps!).
