CREATING MULTIPLE INCOME SOURCES đź’¸

As a full-time creator for over four years now, I would not recommend platform monetization as your primary goal.

Well, I can understand the appeal of it as a nice to have… If you are not a creator that is regularly getting millions of views, there are much more lucrative ways to monetize your platform and career as a creator.

For me, this looks like :
1. Freelance Content /UGC
2. Sponsored Content
3. Digital Products
4. YouTube Ad Sense
5. Affiliate Links

I think that diversification is essential if you want to make a lasting career as a creator…

As always, let me know what questions you have about this ✌️

I replaced nearly every software subscription in my business with Google Workspace.

I was paying for all of these separately 👇

Say goodbye to Calendly.
Say goodbye to DocuSign.
Say goodbye to Zoom.
Say goodbye to Loom.
Say goodbye to Dropbox.

One subscription replaces all of it for ~$200 CAD/year — and I broke down exactly how in today’s blog post.

Comment HOW and I’ll send you the link.

(Not sponsored. Just a big fan of small business owners keeping more money in their pockets.)

Self Employed Money pt. 8
✨the last episode of the series✨

If there’s one thing I want you to walk away with, it’s this: none of this is a one-time fix. You can’t organize a year of avoided finances in a single afternoon.

So here’s the ask: once a week (or once a month at minimum) sit down and actually look at your numbers: what came in, what went out, what you’ve already set aside for taxes.

Block it into your calendar like it’s non-negotiable, automate whatever you can, and stop waiting for the “perfect” system.

The best one is just whichever one you’ll actually use.

Comment BOOKS to grab my bookkeeping template or personal finance tracker if you want a head start instead of building this from scratch.

8 episodes later… a big thank you so much for being here for all of it.

Let me know what questions you have & follow Danielle Ryan | UGC Creator for more Canadian small business content.

Unfortunately, content disclosures are not optional 🥲 if you are receiving some sort of incentive to post… it needs to be disclosed!

Whether that’s saying “gifted” “affiliate” or “ad” (depending on the context) there needs to be adequate indication of the relationship between you and the thing your promoting.

and listen, I get it… contact disclosure can tank reach… But I’d rather suffer that than compromise the trust I’ve built with my audience 🤝

Self Employed Money pt. 7

Nobody is coming to save your retirement but you, which is exactly why I decided to be my own sugar daddy instead đź’…

No matter what’s happening in your business, you *should* prioritize setting aside money every single month for retirement, whether that’s $20 or $2,000.

The number matters way less than starting the habit now instead of waiting until you can “afford” the bigger amount.

For me this looks like relying on four main vessels:
1. CPP (covered last episode)
2. My TFSA
3. My RRSP
4. Non-registered Investment Accounts,

My preference is for Wealthsimple (comment WS and you can try it out)

As always, I’m not an accountant, this is just my experience after 8 years of doing this. Talk to a financial advisor about what’s right for your situation.

Let me know in the comments if you want a deeper breakdown of each account type, and I’ll see you Thursday for the final episode of the series.

Self Employed Money pt. 6

How do Employment Insurance & Maternity Leave work when you are self employed in Canada? Let’s discuss.

While there is no unemployment coverage when you are self-employed in Canada, business owners can choose to opt into EI special benefits (covering maternity leave, parental, sickness, compassionate care, and family caregiver).

The catch? You must register at least 12 months before you can actually claim them.

Further, once you’ve actually received a benefit, there’s no opting out. If you claim benefits, you’re in it for good (meaning you’ll keep paying premiums for the rest of your self-employed career).

The purpose of this video is to provide a general overview of how the program works. If you’re considering EI or government funded mat leave, I’d recommend consulting an accountant to determine what makes sense for your business and financial situation.


As always, be sure to share your thoughts & questions in the comments.

Follow Danielle Ryan | UGC Creator because on Tuesday we are chatting about retirement planning when you’re self employed.

Self-Employed Money pt. 5

Let’s chat about the Canada Pension Plan (CPP)

In Canada, sole proprietors and small business owners are required to pay both the employee and employer portion of CPP on up to ~$85,000 of their NET income.

This makes tracking your income and expenses as a sole proprietor very important, AND is a great reason why you should be setting aside 15-30% of your earning throughout the year in preparation for tax season.

I always recommend consulting a professional (bookkeeper or accountant) for advice regarding your specific situation.

On Thursday we will be chatting EI & Maternity Leave when you are self employed… but in the interim let me know what questions you have.
