So the best way to make money as a programmer is telling others they can make great money as a programmer?

Hi Dorian, i messaged you on Instagram long ago and you know i have been on this channel since begging (hope you remember), and I want to let you know that you helped me through such a tough time, i used to remember your videos in which you said how you changed your life around and didn't give up, i am still far from achieving what I want, and maybe i don't even like coding buy want to let you know that you helped me pull through

Content creation is a safer bet because you see results straight away, eg. likes, comments and followers.

The issue with building an app on your own is:

a) You need to learn the programming language first (enough of it anyway).

b) It could take many months before you’ve built something sufficient for release.

c) Even once you’ve finished the app — without a solid social media presence — how do you advertise it effectively?

I like that you're a genuine person Dorian, keep up and I wish you the best!

This channel is the self taught blackpill. Keep the good stuff coming

Aside from your video I just wanted to say you inspired and motivated me a lot to keep pushing and learning, still building my first projects and portfolio but I know I’ll get there in time. Thank you brother, keep doing what you’re doing and improving I very which way.

Creating a BIG project, app or whatever, is always subjective ... For now I have created my YouTube channel, I like to create videos and share my skills. For me it's one of the best ways to stay motivated and keep growing. Create to understand if this is a job you want to do. Great idea to start a blog, Dorian ✌🏻

I'm also in the content boat, over 50 articles. Hired and trained 3 writers from upwork. Following income school methods.
If I ever get to 10k views per month, I'll try to create a subscription model or digital products to further monetize.

I love how you can create one piece of content and it can help people immediately and also help people for years to come.

Creating content is also good for your personal brand which I’m all in favour of since:

a) We all have a personal brand anyway so may as well intentionally develop it.
b) Our personal brand stays with us for life.
c) Our personal brand is non taxable!

Content creation is also a skill, and much of it is about communicating clearly and getting people to take action. Getting good at presenting and communicating will feed us for life, especially coupled with a technical skill people will pay for.

Glad you chose content, your videos are much appreciated and help and motivate a lot of people, including me :)

[luposdreyar]

I'm really appreciate for the transparency with us

[Excalibur]

Informative and honest video, thanks for sharing your experiences

[jacobl]

Good choice imo.

As a consumer, I don’t enjoy installing another app since I have so many and assume many others might feel similar.

On the other hand, who doesn’t use YouTube?

[felixc.programs]

Always love your new videos! You really inspired me to share my own experience through my Youtube channel as someone who switched careers to the tech industry. That's all!

[gavincoulson]

Hey Dorian, love the videos!
Which sound equipment do you use/recommend for this sort of gig?

[DEBO]

You are a legend Dorian I’m currently getting into content creation so this was perfect timing

[knlknl]

Hey Dorian! Awesome content as always! Do you think it would be worth your while to make a video on how one can start with content creation on YouTube? Tips on planning, filming and editing a video would be really appreciated!

[EddyVinck]

Interesting perspective Dorian. Great video!

[davemeech]

Awesome video, definitely among your regular consumers. How are you liking your Q1?
