YouTube… The most addictive site for all age group. Whether you want to watch movies or you want to make ice-cream or you want to learn something everyone prefers to get everything through online videos sitting at home and definitely free of cost (jokes apart…). On YouTube, information is overloaded and being a developer or to start your programming journey you might have definitely taken the help of YouTube videos to understand the concepts in a better way and there is a possibility that you might have been inspired from those YouTubers as well.
If you are a passionate developer, we
suggest you to not only watch the videos of programmers on YouTube but also
start your own YouTube channel and there are multiple benefits to do that.
Let’s discuss in detail…
1. Learning and Social Exposure:
When you teach something to others it helps you to get knowledge about a
specific topic in detail and also clear all your doubts. You do research, you
go through the documentation, you watch some other tutorials, you build
projects and when you make videos after learning all the things you need to
write code again, you need to look at the whole application, again and again,
you redo few things and a lot of things are repetitive so eventually it makes
your concepts more clear and helps you to remember everything in-depth for a
long time.
“If you can’t explain it to a
six-year-old, you don’t understand it yourself.”
–Albert Einstein
It also helps in personal development
and removes social anxiety. There are a lot of developers who don’t talk much,
they do not have social skills and they love to isolate themselves from others.
Being on camera, explaining the things to others and talking gives them an
opportunity to communicate, to share the opinion which eventually helps them to
remove social anxiety and they learn how to deal with other people.
2. Online Presence:
No matter in what field you are working, an online presence is very important
in this technical era of the 21st century. Everything is running online and for
the professional growth online presence matter a lot for everyone whether it’s
a LinkedIn account, personal blog, personal website or your own YouTube
channel. It creates a brand that is really helpful in making connections,
getting feedback from others and for professional growth as well.
3. Helps in Promoting Business:
Online activity and internet is the best source to promote any kind of business
and make a profit from it especially when you are doing it through videos. You
can showcase your services and products through your channel. When you showcase
your services, your projects or portfolio, you can get potential clients,
customers all over the world. It can help you in freelancing or any other
business. Your services can reach from one person to two, two people to four,
four to eight and so on
4. Helps in getting a lot of Job:
It’s hard to get a job as a developer when you have no computer science degree
and you are a self-taught programmer. At that time, you really need to do
something which can help you to showcase your talent or your interest in
programming to the recruiters. So, what’s the best solution…. definitely
YouTube. Suppose you want to become a python developer and if you make videos
on python, a recruiter visiting on your channel can watch your coding skill and
they can also check your knowledge and interest in programming that can help
you in landing up a job
5. Side Income: One of the toughest things is to generate side income through YouTube channel. It needs a lot of patience and consistency if you want to generate money through YouTube. A lot of YouTubers give up on making YouTube videos and continuing it because they find difficulty in getting the subscribers and generating the side income. Initially, you won’t make anything but as we have said that you need to be stick with making videos, making good content and if you put a lot of effort then you can definitely get viewers and subscribers and you can start making money. You can generate money through affiliate marketing, promoting someone else content or product, sponsorship and a lot of options are out there.
So now if you are telling yourself to
start your channel and make videos even if it’s just for 5-10 minutes then do
it but a quick tip is here that be genuine, be consistent and do not fake
anything in your YouTube videos.
