My Different Income Streams as a Creative Business Owner by @Liz Mosley

0 Plays3 days ago

In this solo episode, I'm sharing a transparent look at the different income streams in my business right now.

Over the years my work has grown beyond just branding and design clients, and today my income comes from a mix of things; including client work, brand sponsorships, affiliate income, public speaking, teaching, and digital products.

Recently Katie Chappell was talking on her instagram about how she actually feels more secure being self-employed than working a traditional job, and it made me reflect on how having multiple income streams has created that same sense of security for me.

In this episode I walk through each income stream, explain how they developed over time, and share why I personally enjoy having variety in my business.

If you're self-employed, freelancing, or building a creative business, this episode might give you some ideas for how your income could evolve over time.

Key Takeaways

Multiple income streams can create stability in an unpredictable job market. When one area slows down, another can often grow; giving you more flexibility and resilience as a business owner.
Your business model should match your personality. Some people thrive by focusing on one thing. Others enjoy variety and creativity across multiple streams.
Opportunities often grow naturally from the work you're already doing. Affiliate income, sponsorships, speaking and teaching often develop organically once your platform grows.
Not every opportunity needs to be purely financial. Speaking, teaching, and collaborations can create visibility, relationships, and future opportunities.
You can evolve your income streams over time. What starts as "pocket change" or a small side income can become something meaningful as your audience and business grow.
