Your craft videos go viral. Your bank account doesn't.
Turn views into subscribers and subscribers into income.
People watch you work. They share your videos. They ask where to buy your pieces. But YouTube pays you pennies per view and your Etsy shop competes with mass-produced knockoffs. Spotlightly gives your real fans somewhere to actually support you.
The problem with YouTube / Etsy
YouTube pays $1-5 per 1,000 views on woodworking content. Etsy surfaces mass-produced furniture above your handmade pieces. Your skills are genuinely rare — your income doesn't reflect that.
