    Took 1 year to build a course. Should I give it away for free?

    MARKETING 
    I appreciate your input. Something I'm definitely doing is modularizing the course and allowing customers to choose the level of complexity they feel most comfortable with.

    Took 1 year to build a course. Should I give it away for free?

    MARKETING 
    Yeah, I was starting to get a rep after having recorded 500+ videos on YouTube for VS Code settings. They even featured me at a Microsoft event. I then focused on creating the course and didn't have time for that anymore, but I'd like to keep offering that kind of value. I think that's something...

    Took 1 year to build a course. Should I give it away for free?

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for your answers guys, appreciate it! The course has two parts: getting up to speed with the software and configuring it so it automates most of the process and integrates a lot of usually external workflows. I was thinking about giving the first part up for free. Thanks for offering...

    Hey Ppostie, I thought I've replied through PM, but I can't find that message. Out of several websites I reviewed, MentorCruise seems to be the best one. I found some high-quality mentors there, but ultimately decided I didn't want to pay for mentorship and went to IndieHackers to find peers. I...

    Took 1 year to build a course. Should I give it away for free?

    MARKETING 
    I've spent 2021 building a course (150+ videos). Except for 300 subscribers on YouTube, I have no audience. Seeking the wisdom of those who've already gone through this: should I publish my course for free on YouTube to build an audience and trust I'll figure out monetization later or should I...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yeah, I record with my macbook's camera using QuickTime and I drag QT out of the screen so I don't get distracted or tempted to look at myself and can focus on the message itself. I think I could lift the camera a little bit more. Maybe this is a little too below the eye level? What do you...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    The way I do it is I create a few bullet points, memorize them, and then free-style the video. I do about 10-15 takes, the first few takes being practice runs. Once I get a recording I like, I keep that one and just trim the beginning and end of the videos. I find this takes a lot less time...

    Looking for peers: absolute beasts in full stack software engineering

    PEOPLE 
    I was a freelance software engineer for about 5 years. Then I fully switched to tutoring college students on computer science because of my love for teaching. I've been doing this for about 15 years.

    Hey 404profound, thanks for reaching out! I've since refined my search to someone with the same values (kind, problem-solver, optimist, rational), interests in tech, general goals to improve the world, and who is also looking for someone with whom to have a mutually beneficial exchange of ideas...

    Completely agree and I think I do a good job at identifying people at or above my skill level in engineering, entrepreneurship, philosophy, and general thinking skills. The challenge has more to do with finding these particular unicorns who simultaneously share my values and general goals to...
