3.1. 0x22F2
- Emacs has been working out for me
- it seems to be just esoteric enough that people are interested in it without losing confidence in its applicabilities.
- a few of my last videos have done quite well
- some of them got picked up by the algorithm and are self-sustaining now
- they have started popping in my "contents suggesting you" videos…
- that's kinda great.
- feel like I'm in it as a marathon now, not the sprint.
3.2. 0x229C
- have tried quite a different things so far for youtube
- emacs works to pull in audiences : this has been reeling in the audiences so far
- other unix utilities are good to build a long term corpus for people to discover new things
- lisp could also be great but I'll need to be more strategic with what sort of content I post
- too specific and it becomes a tutorial
- need to focus on the why so that the viewer is incentivized to get into what is being discussed
- do not assume interest
- a good thumbnail that strikes a cyber-mystic vibe could attract a lot of people : the beard helps
- need to read a whole lot more for the kind of videos I wish to make.
- going for several shorter videos (11 mins is a sweet mark) henceforth with a long one once in a while.
- building a corpus of ideas that I can regularly draw from
- will need to put the zettelkasten to use over time
- need to be on the hunt as to what could suit my audience
- regular generic notes and content creation will be needed.
- a lot of reading and writing is necessary
- tapping into the consumer's curiosity is what I might have not been explicitly focusing on so far.
- rather than focusing on the tool, the thumbnails and titles should focus on what the consumer is missing out on.
3.3. 0x2279
- there are phases to a good video
- pre-prod, prod and post-prod
- all the scripting, planning, and ideation comes in preprod
- the actual shooting and collection of all clips needed comes is prod
- the final collation of all in those clips is post prod
- checkout video processing
3.4. 0x21EE
- need to understand how I could document my current learning pursuits well
- feel like I need to master relatively shorter formats (thinking 5 minutes tops)
- video editing will be a necessary skill and a script will be mandatory as well to pack in as much content as possible to make it work for the reader.
- will be focusing on technical and intellectual stuff initially and will start to work on branding my online presence a particular way
- do wish to gain a decent viewership and actually provide value for them rather than capitalising on trends
3.5. 0x2143
- initializing an iteration on my creation process
- will be recording all feedback and relevant
3.6. (0x2122) YT Init : Incentives and Plans
3.6.1. History
- second youtube channel
- first -> to practice rhetoric
- did help with working out the kinks in my communication skills
3.6.2. Abstract
- writing a pretty good way to express yourself and show your work
- albeit.., still incomplete : videos complement the process of expression
- speaking into a camera, speaking from experiences, tricks you into thinking you're addressing a large audience - a pretty neat trick, I would say
- I'm starting again with a slightly formal approach : https://www.youtube.com/@rajp152k
3.6.3. Settling into a Niche
- Some topics that I'll explore initially:
- Emacs -> instructive/customization
- Common Lisp -> instructive
- Programming Language Theory (Racket)
- Book Reviews/follow-throughs (non-fiction/technical)
- Interesting Research from different domains
- Workflows, tools for relevant tasks
- the occasional philosophical rant
3.6.4. The Long Term Plan
- freedom of expression is a given
- being free enough to express is what we generally lack…
- targeting at least a video a week..
