So I'm constantly reminded in the pursuit of creating content that you need to be patient. Especially if you're always trying to optimize it so it takes less time. It can become a bad addiction. Obviously I'm passionate about the different ways to reduce time, repurpose, automate etc. But I'm still always reminded how quality is so important. As I approach 10K subscribers on YouTube I can attribute it to 1 thing. Good content. Not to automation. My good videos get views, my bad ones do not. My good videos get subscribers, my bad ones do not. So be careful about optimizing too much, and be patient with putting in the time. When I put in 3 to 4 days (in total with research, building, recording) those videos have always done really well. And it's not always for the video itself, a lot of that time is learning something new, innovating. So that has value well beyond the video itself. Yesterday I recorded a video and I knew it was done poorly. I almost just sent it to my editor knowing it was subpar. I had spent an hour+ recording it. I DID NOT want to do it again. But, I reminded myself that its not really worth publishing a bad video. So I did, I rerecorded it. I did it in a 3rd the time, so that was nice. And I know it will be solid. So be patient with yourself. Optimization is important but not at the expense of a good video. 👍

I am creating an online course. Now, where do I want to host it? I love the community aspect of Skool, but can it really host video courses like Teachable or Kajabi? What are y'all using? What are the pro and cons?

Is everybody here focused on Youtube? Or are you managing multiple content streams? I started with Substack, and now I'm starting to amp up LinkedIn presence. Next is Youtube, I have been slowly planning out the video content. Can you please share the tools you've found most useful, this could be for any part of your process. Mine include: - General Planning, ideation, writing and content management: notion.so - Branding/Graphic Design: Canva, Midjourney - Post Automation: socialbu.com (this was for FB and Twitter, got almost no traction here) - Newsletter: sobstack.com (strongly considering a switch to Beehiiv) - Slides: pitch.com (I record engineering tutorials) - Code snippets: snappify.com - Video Editing: Camtasia - Hosting: bunny.net (for streaming video, audio, images, pdf's etc. Protected links for product purchases, it's pretty good) The whole process is a lot of work. I am regularly getting lost down rabbit holes but it's getting a little easier. Staying focused on a specific task through completion is one of the hardest things to do.
