Part 4/6:
Balancing Passion with Earnings
While Eileen acknowledges her financial gains, she views YouTube primarily as a hobby, emphasizing that her enjoyment derives from the creative outlet it provides. She recognizes the importance of consistent uploads and how they contribute to engagement, suggesting content creators should not obsess over metrics but appreciate the process itself. Eileen does not plan on transitioning to YouTube as a full-time profession; instead, she cherishes her role as a Pilates instructor.
She discusses a recurring struggle faced by many creators: whether to expand to other social media platforms for growth or focus solely on YouTube—a decision dependent on personal comfort and authenticity.
