She must be earning an absolute WEDGE if he can afford to leave his job and work for her and get a mortgage on a £500k plus property. Not sure banks would appreciate two people with no steady job at the moment

Yes, influencers make a lot of money, I’m not that surprised about that.

I do not trust bloggers promoting cheaper products, when they clearly use high end products themselves. Be honest about what you are actually using and buying, and if it’s expensive, so be it. Do not start promoting dupes when we all know that’s not your preference. It’s up to us as an audience to decide whether we like that or not.

Now it looks like I’m constantly defending Anna, I’m not, I have enough criticisms as well! Particularly about the capsule nonsense.
I totally agree and what I meant (but didn't phrase well) was that she has the money to buy "dupes" and try them out and see if they are as good as the high-end products she usually uses. I hate when influencers promote dupes they haven't actually tried!

Yeah, but I just don’t think it’s her responsibility, she doesn’t owe us that. She shows us what she is buying, and if we are willing to watch that, then that’s our problem. She is not some sort of consumers association.

Plus, speaking for myself, I do not gravitate towards people using normal stuff and wearing regular clothes. I’m interested in the more unique things and every now and then I buy something that speaks to me. I find that there is more value in someone telling me f they found an expensive item worth it, rather then something cheaper I could easily have tried myself.

If they had a big deposit and a small mortgage, it wouldn’t matter that much. Also we don’t know what the set up was with the flat - if Mark did have inheritance from someone, they may have used it to pay off some of their mortgage early on the flat, so they could have a lot of money from the sale.

She's been quiet a little bit and then all we get is talking about Mark being a social media husband.

Where is the house move content? I'm ready for the new place

I don’t know how she rests easy knowing her husband has given up all of that specialised knowledge, intellectual integrity and perseverance to photograph her looking like a baked potato.

The comments about the proofreading and passing probation really made me laugh. 😂 👏
Did anyone who has watched today's vlog pick up on that they donated June's income from their podcast to BLM charities. It was a £1000! Seriously, her and Lily earn a grand for a Monday morning chat!!! :oops:

I think Mark is probably just doing this like how others take a sabbatical.

I think they are just smart with their time and money and that they’re taking advantage of the fact that influencers get paid crazy amounts for relatively little (no) work. Why not? Why work hard when he can get paid by her business. He’s looked a bit like the cat that’s for the cream for a while in their videos. They know exactly what they’re doing.

I do wonder what would happen to all these people if/when the influencer bubble bursts?

I mean't to go back and listen to it again, but did Anna say she donated her earnings from the life update video and it was 600 and Lily and Anna donated their earnings from was it one podcast or all their June podcasts? That allcame to about 1K, was that right?

I could totally see Mark and Anna opening up a coffee shop / bookshop once she stops doing Youtube. They both come across being quite happy with a relatively simple life.

Exactly! Don’t tell me how to budget when you’re opaque and shifty about yours. We really need to de-stigmatize talking about money, especially now that pay isn’t keeping up with inflation and there’s such a massive pay gap amongst gender, race, etc. @influencerpaygap on IG is a really interesting account to follow. It really highlights the pay discrepancies even within their industry.

Remember when we were in middle school and the career lectures and interest inventories started and we all hoped we would get lawyer or doctor?! Do you think influencer is now an option on those career questionnaires? How depressing.
My super intelligent nephew wants to be an influencer 🤦🏻‍♀️ I tried talking to him about what GCSE’s he might want to do but he was all about YT. I tried steering him gently “well business studies would be good for running your own company, and definitely IT for learning about tech” to make him think I’m being supportive when actually it would be such a waste for him to become a youtuber!

Anna and Mark seem like the type that’s working towards that point when the influencer thing will wear off. They’ll make sure they have some property that will increase in value and I’m pretty sure they will be saving a lot. And then eventually they might get a regular job, probably some sort of online advisory or coaching role.

But to not take this opportunity now would be crazy! Anna is making so much that it would have taken her probably twice as long to get to this salary level in some random marketing job. So nothing is lost. Mark also has his degree and can always pick it back up, maybe update with some courses and start in junior/medior roles again.

Yes, it’s different if children give up on their education to become a YouTuber, but this isn’t the case for Anna, who went to uni.

Haha joking only, in the back row has a PhD and still an influencer. If it is meant to be, that it is meant to be. Hahahahaha you may as well build a strong connection with your nephew so you can get some gifted Hello fresh or something

Yes I wondered whether Mark was having trouble finding a job, as this seems like a strange decision career wise, and as someone said on Lily’s thread, it’s risky for them to put all their eggs in one basket financially.
I was wondering if his master's was in management/business/whatever and perhaps they might be looking to step away from Gleam.

Watched the "working together" video last night (got me nicely off to sleep!) and I have to admit, I thought some of the comments from people saying it was 'demeaning' for Mark to be working with his wife were really vile.
I guess they expected those comments, because their demeanor in the video was a bit forced/slightly defensive?
Anyway I just thought how unusual it is to see any kind of negative comments on her videos - is she a deleter of negative comments, or is her content generally so bland and inoffensive it doesn't attract that element?
