 So this is essentially what happened a video producer from Verizon like the phone company reached out and he was like Yo, I'm from Verizon and I write for in the no media And I want to feature you on all of our platforms looting Verizon Yahoo Heal Well and in the know this video producer wanted to feature my work my spin art that I do on Tiktok and share it to the world and natural I said, uh-huh. Yeah, let's do it And this is what kind of this is this is what happened. I just I don't even know like it just happened Wow Crazy safe to say that I could potentially become Verified or crazy that is just to me. That's just nuts two months literally two months into this journey of of making paintings through Tiktok and showing to the world what I do in the process. I don't know. It's just really exciting I'm not saying it's like a rag rags to riches story, but There's potential. I feel like there's potential there. And what are we doing today? Oh, who would have thought more paintings more? Tiktok more content And you know with making all these paintings and like actually starting a small business during quarantine Which is one thing we should be talking about how to like how we build this business like a small empire if you will and Quite literally with all of this success that I that I bring I also get a bunch of hate on that back end So I often get asked how much you know, Johnny, how much do you make do you pay taxes Johnny? Is uh, are you like doing it legally Johnny? Is this a ripoff? This is a scam some even just like trashing me in my paintings, which hey, I get it's the internet People hate on people people troll it comes with the job and you do I do want to say that my whole goal with with Johnny Q Art with with creating his paintings and monetizing It's just to show you that You can do it too. It doesn't have to be paint right doesn't have you don't have to be selling paint You don't have to be an artist if you're into baking if you're into Collecting coins if you're into anything that brings you joy and it's your passion I suggest that you try to make content around that thing that you love to do and you Don't think about capitalizing just yet But just create content get the stuff out there if your goal one day is to have your income be by what you're Passionate and happy whatever it makes you happy if that's gonna bring an income then I think you should start now Who's gonna bring it to you? Who's gonna who's gonna give you the stuff to do and then like who's gonna pay you? Well really no one now unless you start to create content Let's say you like to create, you know, you like to collect Pokemon cards I don't but let's say that's super random and out of my wheelhouse If I was very passionate about collecting Pokemon cards And if I actually opened up a podcast a YouTube channel a tick tock dedicated to talking about Pokemon what Pokemon is how you can start collecting Pokemon all the info about Pokemon and pringing and actually delivering Valuable content based on Pokemon. I think you can make at least 40 to 50 $60,000 a year doing that and it really just depends on what you're willing to do That's just that's kind of my view on it. I Also get asked about my backyard and if it's colorful and if it's messed up so essentially Little bit of both right and so what I started to do is I started to lay down a huge piece of cardboard right here and That is essentially, you know, if I remove this piece of cardboard, which I will right now if I remove it You basically have all this paint. I don't know if you can see that but it's all painted, right? And if I come over here This is just kind of been kind of been bad for the grass so what I've been doing I just I just laid this piece of cardboard down and Technically I should be fine Put it back Thank you my lovely assistants, Sarah Q
