Cheers!

This is of course a picture from last weekend. I'm sitting well-behaved in the office right now. Although since I work at a beverage company, there's the occasional tasting session at lunch from time to time... 😇

And when I see the screenshots, I'm glad I am not depending on my social media income for a living. Your support here helps me a lot to keep the YouTube channel going! But trying to finance my whole life and all the expenses as an "influencer" would be risky and so depending on the ups and downs of the platforms (and or enough Patrons).
Because concerning social media, most of the times I am speechless and really only want to use these emojis: 🤦‍‍🙈😒😤🙄

Update on the YouTube Creator Award: there is no update. 😆
Every few days I receive a new email from another person "taking the case over" but actually having no idea because the "specialized team" didn't finish the review yet. Aka no one bothered to look into it yet. Thanks, YouTube, it's been 12 days so far.
The monetization status of my channel didn't change either, by the way. Still no ads in my videos. You can see that my new video earned 0,74€ so far (via YouTube Premium users). 😁 I know that relying on YouTube ads income is not what "influencers" should do in general because it's not stable or irrevocable. Everyone says that cooperations are the way of earning money. But yeah, in my small niche of Alternative Fashion, cooperations do not bring you money in 98% of the time. 🤷‍‍

Review of my lingerie video from last sunday: well, that did not go as expected. 🤣
It's really underperforming - which in itself is an understatement - and YouTube says that fewer of my regular audience click on it. The comments are really super positive and people there would love to see more lingerie videos in the future. But it's not making sense for me to invest the time and film more lingerie videos if people don't watch it / my target audience is too fixed on catsuits / YouTube does not show it to people with other, matching preferences (linke lingerie, duh). As of yesterday, the video resulted in -6 subscriptions, by the way. 😶 Although it seems that a few other people now clicked on "subscribe".
Also, I cannot use it as a reference to apply for the Hunkemoeller ambassador programme since the numbers are so low. That stupid intern who declined my first application with nonsense-arguments should be gone by now, at least. 😆

So that was a little update on how things are going at the moment and what's going on off-stage. 😉 Are you even interested in such lengthy posts and my rambling about statistics and prudish social networks? 🤭
