Hello!

Hi everyone, I'm Marcy! I've been a teacher on Insight Timer for a little over a year, focusing on meditative journaling and Tarot/Oracle courses. I was doing great on the app and loving that I was finally earning money doing something I love. But then they announced those changes to the payment structure.

While I am benefiting from the Teacher Fund, once that runs out, I will go from making $800-$1000 per month on the app to just $30. At least that's what I could tell from my last statement. I don't have a big following at all, but I do have a small and very engaged following. Of course, without payment for engagement, it feels like I'm starting all over again. It's been really rough because I got the news the night before I gave birth to my second baby, and I was counting on IT to be my source of income while I am at home with two little ones under the age of two. I feel a little silly now for putting all my eggs in one basket.

So, I need to focus now on growing my audience on IT and getting those play numbers up. I've of course wanted to grow this whole time, but now it feels like a bit more pressure if I even want to come close to what I was making before. I'm trying not to think too hard about that and still enjoy creating and connecting with people there because that part of the app hasn't changed.
