I've taken an 8-month career break to turn my passion as a YouTube magician into a living. One Ahead invited me to share the highs and lows of my pursuit every few months. You may want to read part 1, in which I went from 2k followers to 107k in only the first two months.
Hello again, fellow ‘One Aheaders’ (is that the right term?). We’re back documenting the highs and lows of the social media magic world.
In the last article (spanning July - September 2023), we covered how I’m taking a career break from my day job to try and pursue a career as a full-time magic content creator. Within that three-month timeframe, I gained over 100k followers on Instagram, became ‘mates’ with David Blaine and earned just over £200…
Long story short, these next couple of months, I really need to start improving income-wise if I even want a chance at making this my full-time gig. Remember, I only have until March 2024. That's when my agreed 'career break’ from my day job as a Nuclear Engineer ends.
This is a good time to say if you haven’t read the previous article, you probably should. It’s very good.
Although I would say that; I wrote it.
