Hi James, thanks for sharing, this was very insightful! I think most of video content creators (myself included) struggle with promoting their content, whether it's due to lack of skills or anxiety. Have you noticed which kind of promotion channels worked best for you? Was it sharing your videos via social media, participating in smaller communities, or trying to get more views via YT search? I've been playing with various ways to promote my videos, but none of them has proved to be significantly better than the others.
Hey, thanks for the comment! I see we disagree on this (although I think less than it seems), which is perfectly fine, I expected people to have different opinion on this topic. There are a few things that I want to address though: I'd rather hire a passionate junior developer that wants to do a great job and learn more than a non-passionate senior programmer that is calling it in. What about a programmer who thanks to this job can get out of poverty? Or a candidate who wants to save money for their children's education? Ex-felon who wants to put their life back on track? There are tons of things that drive people to do a good job and become better, I think that by discarding people just because programming is not their passion, we are making the industry less inclusive and diverse. But you at least need to care about the work that you do and show interest in it. I totally agree - you should care about what you do and show interest. There is a lot of space though between passion and apathy, so you can enjoy your coding, you can care about your work, but your true passion might be playing guitar - this is not an impossible situation. If it's just a job to them, how do I know they actually care about my health? Because they're hopefully decent people and want to be fair. If I need money and offer to help you moving your apartment, and you pay me money for that, I want to be fair, I want to know that we're both satisfied with the deal, otherwise I'll have a sense of guilt.
Syed Fazle Rahman I'm considering it, because Ghost that I'm currently using has some limitations IO'm not happy about. It's not something I'll do this year with a number of other things that I have planned, but certainly something I'm considering to do in a few minths. I'll let you kno!
