Constructive feedback for the author:<p>I would have broken the post into 2 parts or 2 separate posts.<p>The 1st half of your post is not specific to "video courses" and is generalized thoughts about working towards a goal, motivations, discipline, etc.<p>The 2nd half of the post that starts with the paragraph <i>"Doing a video in a single swoop isn’t for me & it often ends in a big mess."</i> ... is the material that's specific to how you produce video courses. Version control, Google Drive, organizing audio, etc.
<i>"You could go on forever improving & polishing everything, but in the end you have to remember to just fucking ship it."</i><p>Words to live by.
I'd appreciate any inside information on making professional looking videos on a limited budget.<p>I am making watch repair videos, but they I want them to be better.<p>I have been using a iPhone camera with satisfactory results. I mainly, just need a consistent close up view of the movement, while I instruct students on watch repair.<p>I know watch repair is a niche market. From what I have gathered, only a few guys have made money selling watch repair videos. They don't look like they very successful. They are also old, and outdated. Most are still working on pocket watches.<p>I know there's a lot of free videos on YouTube, but they are hit, and miss. I'm planning on a course, or a few courses. I paid $100 for videos, a few years ago, but they were dated, and very amateurish.<p>So--if anyone has done any videos, what was you process? Was it a waste of time? Did you make any money? I'll appreciate any constructive advice.
