Thanks to the viewers.
So this is a bit of an indulgent video it is thanks to my viewer and readers on the blog and YouTube. I know that it seems a bit out of place but I felt it was important to do it because people seem to think that you can make it overnight on the internet. Unless you already have a legacy media presence you really can't and it takes a lot of work this is why many people with a disability are drawn to content creation, as there is still a bias towards people with a disability, being employed as it seems to be a risk more than having a diverse work place and that's a whole other post.
However, if you start with an internet connection and an idea it is a lot harder than people think. I know that When looking at other creators that are on podcasts, or other channels and they are asked when did you know that you had made it they generally say when they were fiscally stable and that it took months to years of hard work. I know one creator by the name of Caitlyn Doughty said that she needed to be prepared to eat a lot of toast. I know Alex Ferdinand said very similar.
I know at a comic con they actually said that unless you have a great support network, don't quit your day job and concentrate on having it as a hobby due to the culture wars, as the wrong word could get you de-platformed and I have got onto a great book on this topic on free speech and freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences this has to be made very clear as well.
But again thanks for me being able to make this my job and I am going to keep going well, and it's amazing what a bit of an idea, an internet connection and a laptop you can do.
