I've been meaning to start posting on YouTube for a while. However, just like with blogging and email newsletter, something was stopping me. I think its perfectionism and performance anxiety.
My arena is digital productivity, so I felt like any video ideas would compete with the high production folks like Thomas Frank or Ali Abdaal. I guess that's still true but now I believe that the differentiation is not in the production value but in the character/personality of the host.
So based on that (possibly misguided) belief, I started posting Loom recordings on YouTube accompanying my newsletter issues (released two). Its not well produced at all. I'm slightly wondering whether its worth it. But I do think posting something is better than nothing.
Anywho, here are my first two videos:
So far got 20 subscribers!
I've started posting recently too, posted 6 videos so far, mostly about open source tools and python automation tutorials, good luck with your channel, here's mine if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/user/1497mihai
