Hi Varun, really loving ur podcast , do u think content creation can be a sustainable career in the long run as im planning to start from next year in college becoz u have been around and also one of the many well known ppl of the industry ! Also any advice ?

[@VarunDuggi]

It’s definitely sustainable, but you need to build it over a long period of time and always focus on why you’re creating content and that why can never be (just) monetisation. If you have a strong why ( which you can also refine over time .. start wide and keep getting more focus ) then it’s sustainable for you and it will drive value. But ensure you only look at it full time when you’ve built enough vision financially and/or are generating enough revenue through it .

[@sanyuktashekawat106]

@@VarunDuggi thankyou so much , means alot 😊

[@NaamNamaN]

Yar kon h bhau ye?

[@AniyaRajVlogs]

All good.. but every country has its own culture.. not necessary it will resemble with yours.. that doesn't mean that they don't have culture... even the eskimos have their own culture
