You're asking the wrong question.
The right question is: How can I make a site that's more compelling than lynda.com or stackexchange?
I also think part of your problem is that you want to keep the information and videos for free. Yes a real infobusiness will give away some stuff for free, but it can and should also sell content if that content has any value.
Hint: If your content solves a problem, it has value.
Other thoughts:
- Not every hobby should be a business
- Another model can be to use free information to build a consulting business
- markhagan 14y agoThanks for the feedback! I love stackexchange. They are fantastic at responding to one-off questions. My style is to build small, functional applications from launching visual studio to debug without cutting the video. I feel you on not making every hobby a business. I also brew beer and have now given up on "starting a micro brewery" and, instead, focused on brewing really great beers that my friends and I like. Ever since doing that, I have been winning more awards and have tuned my brews to my tastes. Given the current amount of questions that are emailed to me, maybe a model could be a private screen-sharing session where I can correct their mistakes on their computer. I would like that.
