Surviving Your 1st Year of Youtube Side-Hustling

I don't watch coding tutorials on KZbin, but I started a coding YT channel anyway 😅
A year later, YT has brought me 2000 new amazing subscribers, Adsense monetization and a bunch of new opportunities!
I made a video about it, if you are on the fence to start or just want to hear my origin story, here you go :)
Let me tell you the story of my 1st year in the KZbin Journey, from :
- how I overcame my fears to get started
- what gear (camera, microphone, lighting, editing software) I was using the whole year
- and dealing with the doubts that creep in the middle of the journey by clearing up my vision for this KZbin Channel
After watching this video, you will have all my experience and insights to starting and growing your own coding/programming KZbin channel in 2023!

Hello Data Fan! This video is a bit different from my usual Python Data Web App tutorial to celebrate a year of KZbinr life. I do want to do some online personal branding tutorial though, so you can both build amazing Streamlit/Gradio content AND showcase them to build your online presence, that would be next year's vision for this channel :) If there are parts of the video that resonate with you and on which you'd like a deep dive video follow-up, feel free to comment it here!

The Editing and the Quality of this video is just amazing! Quite a Pro video. Wish you many more success! 🚀

[@andfanilo]

Thank you! I had so much fun doing this video, I don't really care if it "tanks", I think it's a satisfying way to end the year =) Wish you too all the successful growth!

[@tylerjrichards_ds]

loved the book shoutout, just re-watching this video as part of my prep for our next interview :)

[@saminyead1233]

This is a really inspiring video. I have to say, I love the style of your videos - reasonably fast-paced, but educational, interspersed with jokes. This is why I literally look forward to your videos every week. As a novice data analyst, I hope I can start a KZbin channel myself too, and get a job offer just like you.

[@andfanilo]

Oh wow, thank you for the kind feedback, it means a lot to me! Looking forward to your KZbin debuts! I'm considering creating some kind of roadmap or workshop for people in Data who want to start a KZbin channel, wait & see if that happens :)

[@johannesrieke6678]

Great video and behind the scenes look! Exactly what I had imagined when we wrote on Twitter ;)

[@andfanilo]

Ahah thanks :) I'll be waiting for your channel now!

[@timetocode_with_ali]

Great video! The hardest for me is to understand and accept that quantity is better to quality. I guess we all get too obsess with being perfect and then as you said…Every time I watch my videos I hate them anyway 😂

[@andfanilo]

Aaaah yeah, this past videos being "bad" thing, I feel you. Yeah, it took me a long time to accept this advice too, that quantity is needed to build quality (do you know the Pottery Parable? Ali Abdaal talks about it aliabdaal.com/pottery/ and I like the analogy) I also understood that people would rather binge-watch a backlog of 50 okayish videos rather than 5 perfect videos, so sometimes I need to aim for simpler edits that get the job done 😅 have you ever rushed a video to manage your upload schedule?

Hello Fanilo, I know that heroku is not free anymore. However, I have a question about the process of deploying an app with multiple pages. I wonder if there could be a problem with streamlit and heroku in this sense?. So far the only examples I've seen are apps built with a single file. Best regards

[@andfanilo]

Hey Jorge! Haven't tried but I don't think there would be any problem, there are no particular bizarre web mechanisms for Streamlit native multipage that could compete with Heroku's configuration, so can't imagine how it would go wrong...have you tried?
