My biggest takeaway from this class was realizing that monetizing creative work doesn't have to mean putting financial pressure on every piece I create.

I'm building a creative project that combines research, storytelling, and visual elements, so I wanted my revenue plan to support the core work rather than dictate it.

For my initial revenue pie, I'm focusing on three areas:

50% Digital Products
Downloadable creative products and expanded materials that can grow naturally from work I'm already doing.

30% Physical & Print Products
Select print-on-demand products and occasional special physical pieces.

20% Content-Related Income
Supporting streams such as affiliate income, audience support, and potential partnerships.

The most useful shift for me was thinking not only about what could make money, but also about how much ongoing time each income stream would require.

My goal is to build revenue around the creative work without turning every creative idea into something that has to sell.
