I agree about the spamming. Which is why I am asking this question here. I'm trying to put some content out there without it being spam and getting honest feedback in return. Sometimes, it's obvious to myself what I need to improve, but there are multitide more things that other people can direct my attention to.
The goal of making such tutorials is not always making money. I can't speak for everyone, but in my case I have two goals in mind:
1. Improve my speaking/presentation skills.
Consequentially, improve my writing skills after writing a prep and a follow-up post.
2. Put myself out there.
If the content is bad, I'll get a ton of negative feedback and will have no other option but to improve. If I'm good I'll get a chance of gaining a following, getting better job opportunities/higher salaries, etc.
There are many more good reasons why a person might want to share his content with the world, even if it is in broken English.
Finally, you as a consumer of such content always have an option to walk away, which is very powerful. If I put up shitty content, people don't have to consume it. However, some people might push through an give me some feedback. With each article, I'll get better and therefore attract more reader and feedback, creating this loop of learning.
So, advice to not post something, just because it is not good, is a bad advice. I would recommend people share their work, even if it is far from perfect.
Big caveat. I am talking about honest people with the best intentions in mind.
- PaulHoule 6y agoI am glad to hear you talk about your motivations because that's the right place to start. Here is what I can share. I am about to restart my blogging after a few years of not doing it. I look at the web today as a post-apocalyptic wasteland with all the ads and bots and trackers and spam, modal and non-modal pop-ups. I have put "getting started" with this off until I have systems in place to give readers an experience that is head and shoulders better than what they have on most of the web. It's not as hard as it sounds because just getting rid of the negatives mentioned above cuts the bandwidth use and loading time dramatically. Still it involves perfecting my tech and getting my head straight and a work that takes a certain kind of inner energy. Good luck!
