This is the third time that my attempt to keep to a specific hour for the Boost content has failed. There is just too much of life that gets in the way. Then, I have all this extra time on some weekends. It seems like every time this happens I make the same conclusion: Boosts are best unscheduled.
About mid-way through the Boost the number of live people in attendance always dwindles off anyway. Everyone else is just as optimistic about their own schedules going into it.
The answer is to generally do one per day when possible in order to maintain a good pace, and be okay doing none, or two even during a single day. It also means I need to take the quality of the YouTube content up a notch, which also means that after I’ve finished I’ll have a full Udemy course (or two) that people can follow along in a super structured way if they wish (with identical content on YouTube). The question is if I can maintain the same dynamic with such an erratic schedule. I will always film them before a live-studio audience just because that’s my style of presentation. I love when people say they forget they are watching a YouTube video and start trying to chat back at the screen.
Now that I have topic changes linked to titles and updates on Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, and GitHub it should be pretty easy to get that audience started. It also means I can do “retakes” if necessary. But I will never get into the editing business, that always takes so much time it isn’t worth it.
