Recently, I was out of Java in Mouwang video interview. In order to avoid advertising suspects, I will not say where recorded, nor given link video lesson. Look at it again I wrote a blog post before recording video, programmers sideline those things: talk about a book and record video , I feel there has been a lot of experience, so in this article, to combine my practice and experience, in the special "instructional video recording", the majority of programmers to share with friends in order to earn some extra money experience.
1 through rough and benefits
Probably in November, and on Mouwang contact the editors, as I am biased towards the direction of Java, gave several directions video lesson topics, there are Java interview, Spring Cloud, high concurrency components. Since I happened to be some Java book interview, but just experienced technical interview, so I set Java to confirm the direction of the interview.
Then outline is given due course for beginners need to be a small amount of bias senior developers, architects should not talk about the content area, and let the reader get benefits as soon as possible, so at the technical level, teach the reader from the core Java, database and framework, etc. how to tap their own highlights, resume level, teach the reader how to write a resume by mining projects in the highlights, so at least get an interview, the interview in experience, teach the reader how to actively display their highlights in the interview. Shining this idea, outline took 3 days to settle down and get confirmed.
After a good outline is set to record video, as already set a good direction, so progress is not slow, about two months recorded nine chapters saving 11 hours of courses. From start to sell now, about three months, after promotion, sales is not bad.
As for earnings, due to the activities and promotion costs need to be shared equally and website, so the sale of every one, can get about 20% of the proceeds. Disclose specific benefits, but I make a horizontal comparison.
1 I'm writing a book before, spent half a year, then almost book sales revenue and the current I used two months to record video to get benefits, but this course is still to sell, estimate down, I used two months recorded videos the price, I can get about 2 times 6 moonrise book income, that is, six times higher than the income of the book.
2 I am a part-time lecturing about one week 6 hours talk time, say once a week, a month amortized to earnings of gains and recorded video lectures almost.
3 columns to make money and then compare the way, because the video tutorials into the system, and the code Story Video readily available, so it seems some good promotion.
But also can record video and do a book project complement each other, such as a case of my book, under a little adaptation can be used in the video, but you can also borrow a video to promote my book.
2 Record video that is not easy to make money
If we go to the major video sites (such as Mu class, 51cto and CSDN, etc.) to see, in fact, many instructional videos is not to make money, even rarely hits, it will say it is not a hands-on racking our brains dry, you can video recording to be able to be realized. I was doing Java, so here is difficult to give some of the best-selling video Java topics, on the one hand we can avoid pit, on the other hand we can formulate topics from which direction the next experience.
1 serves decent entry-level video is difficult, such as talking about Java syntax, database CRUD, and spring cloud the most basic, such as video too.
2 content too deep, and can not apply their knowledge of video is difficult to curry favor. For example, say high concurrency, JVM virtual machine topic, if too much to explain the underlying, and we can not help to solve practical problems, although the terms of such courses is very exciting, but not necessarily someone watching.
3 emphasis on theory, without the project, such as Netty topic, if you talk about the underlying code, and skills (such as investigation OOM, read and write index) color, these video lessons too many.
And, if you own racking our brains to come up with a topic, then do hands, but also do a good job, then you've uploaded to online selling, they will not speak selling, but also estimate may not be able to sell this, you may wish to any of the video site, just search keywords (such as Java), it is estimated the first few pages have video sales, after five video sales estimate to zero.
3 recorded video how can you make money?
Talk about skills implementation.
First, we must have good communication and editing the site topics, these edits may not like you familiar with the technology, but definitely know what the current hot topics can. You can ask them directions, such as Java, Python, data analysis, and other soft test, ask them to topics such as Python data analysis to how to do, so at least the recorded video will be sold.
Second, set a good topic, be sure to communicate to record and edit videos of implementation of key points, these points include emphasis cases, less about theory, how much to scale cases, when speaking as much as possible for beginners. And the best record chapters give a good look editor, so in the end, at least your video lessons on line. And because of course you can get full support for editing, it is likely to get the chance to be promoted. Website promotion efforts to promote yourself is definitely a lot better than that.
Third, in the promotion of the site, there will be costs, time to edit this site will discuss with you, or sell a few courses together, or promotion expenses shared equally, at this time if you do not relate to your interests, as promised, or this sentence, website promotion effect of a lot better than you personally. For example, a course sell 100 yuan, according to advance good to talk about sharing ratio, it half points, which means that you earn to sell a 50, but if you rely on your own promotion, it is estimated will sell 50 copies a month, and when you run out of human resources, it is estimated will sell a few hundred copies. But by website promotion is different, so each could only get to sell a 20 yuan, but a lot of website promotion channels, it is estimated will be able to sell 100 copies one week, and as long as in the promotion, sales speed is not reduced.
Next content of speaking skills.
First, try to pick out some hot topics, such as the current Python data analysis, machine learning, high concurrency Java, cloud docker, etc., as some entry-level, such as speaking algorithm, say Java-based, can be ignored.
Second, try to combine the case, and the best of these cases allows readers to do graduate design or curriculum design, such as a course in college, some to Spring Cloud SSM or project, and the code to the foot, so to readers after a small amount of change, It can be used to design the course.
Third, try to make readers have an immediate effect. Start with the negative talk, for example, you worked so hard to talk about a JVM virtual machine, the content may be good, but the reader is looked after at the most up knowledge so that others why sell your lesson? But conversely, it is about the same virtual machine, after you say good technical content, combined with manufacturers interview experience, tells the reader how to speak highlights aspects of the virtual machine in the interview, and then further, telling readers after seeing OOM problem, how to troubleshoot, and then give the best number of cases, so the reader can not only rise knowledge, more usually used in the development process, but also and find a better job, this course will look at more than ten dollars, then it will be bought.
Fourth, in the video lesson, do not say too much theory, but also not too much nonsense, direct knowledge say, then given case. Best achieve this effect through your video, the reader can quickly adjust your case through the code, then, combined with your video to explain, to understand a lot of knowledge through case inside. Compared to some of the hundreds of video lessons for half an hour, but the inside or to speak API usage, or too rigidly stick to the details of the code, this lesson may not sell well.
4 with distributed components, for example, the specific lessons about how to do video
Before talking about is the abstract experience here with specific curriculum, in terms of what to do next video lessons.
1 clear audience selection.
Do not for advanced developers or architects, are strong because these people search for knowledge, it will search for answers to specific questions, not necessarily the series look. The audience got to be white, then include work experience at the most junior development within three years. Audience clear, will set the contents. For example, content can be given entry + Projects + interview guide MyCAT, Netty, Redis, Kafka components.
2 knowledge system to a system, while the code to be run
Set a good content, you can develop the outline. First column points, such as various distributed components, and then set out surface, such as Let's talk about each of the components from the configuration environment, revisit the basic application, the application should be given time to talk about the case can be run with case about the project in the pit, In this way at least to ensure readers have run through harvest. Specific to Mycat, you can talk about how to set up the environment, tell how the sub-library sub-table, tell exception handling, tell mycat + lvs cope with high concurrency scenarios of technology.
3 plus interviews and other selling points, let the reader enjoy the benefits
Light systematic knowledge and case studies, it is estimated not, because too many similar video, and then need to add other elements, the elements may be the case, it can also be interview guide.
For example the course, on the one hand and can run the whole case, but the content is moderate, beginners can learn to understand the cost of a small amount, but again with some manufacturers interview counseling. Moreover, the interview can not stay in the counseling talk face questions, but to tell the reader how the project used to prove himself in the interview.
Also take MyCAT, you need to ensure that readers after watching your video, combining business point in the interview, tell the interviewer how to use MyCAT the fact that sub-library sub-table, how to develop sub-library rules, how to rewrite the SQL, then the best combination of business how to speak MyCAT with LVS integration.
4 Multi-speak project experience
For example, in talking about this course Netty, redis and other practical skills when learning do not stay in the project, but can be used in the project in question met the terms, such as may be encountered in Netty say when OOM, how to see logs for problem, and finally solved how to debug to the bottom, this process should be to say, if you can, tell some pressure and deployment skills. This will ensure that readers will not only gain skills, gain more experience level of the project.
In short there is not a video lesson "Mongolia" in mind, but to pay more regardless of the cost elements. Case regard, can learn from existing, but certainly much more to add their own ideas. And not only remain at the technical level, but also through various troubleshooting scenarios, allowing readers to have as much experience in technology projects.
We can think about a primary only 2 years of development experience, learn this through if Distributed Component course with three-month period, the first run through the case to master a variety of skills, the second by watching the video, then surgery, whatever the outcome, can be combined in an interview items used to prove his interviewer, pressure measurement and steps to resolve the problem of the third line also talking about, so leaving aside whether the ability to upgrade, but whatever the outcome, can go to the interview larger BAT plant, but also through a high probability that such a course, even if priced at 100, it was also willing to buy, and then combined with the promotion, by this lesson monthly income of over 10,000, it should not be a problem.
5 can take more money to expand channels
Do anything, we must make money and improve efficiency and expand the channels to make money, if you earn money recorded video, somewhat unfortunately, there would no longer talk about a number of other benefits.
1 in a number of video lessons later, whatever the outcome, considered a celebrity, you can see more of the channels, for example, can see some of the more high-end video lessons institutions, which are out of the class, it can be sold for thousands, and sales Yes, we can try to find these institutional linkages.
2 Because you have a video course, if you can go out some books, it is possible to find some mechanism to make corporate training, such institutions often talk about the three-day course will be able to give to tens of thousands.
3 more to go do their own training fees to training at very high online and offline, such as such as PMP exam or soft or Oracle training, skill, if not go to school, did not permit to go test.
In fact, look for opportunities to record video lessons, and even the chance to find corporate training, is not easy, for example, I find a lot of sites, before they get the opportunity to record video. But as long as Ken got the idea find a few more, always find, and often can provide a platform for all kinds of opportunities are still many, perhaps all the bits and pieces of time utilized, and more universal point of view more information on the Internet, and then more in in practice constantly sum up, this may not be able to achieve financial freedom, but at least doubling earnings.
6 summarizes the recorded video lessons, more revenue is the enterprising spirit
This point was somewhat abstract, but it is my personal experience. For example, I recorded before the class, a lot of technology may not reach high enough, but the case is not much, but I can use less time to make up for technical and supplementary cases, market-tested, not because of my output is short learning time fraught. I call this attitude while learning and learning methods used in the main industry, we found that overcome technical difficulties really is not a thing to solve practical problems, only manual labor.
Really need money and technical contacts, but more needs Manner. Before I wrote a blog post, in Shanghai software industry, I have seen an annual income of 500,000 living creatures - how do we strive to achieve this goal , at that time I could feel the 500,000 years have been very difficult, but with I have been looking forward to practice and constantly sum up channels, I found an annual income of 500,000 really is not a thing, but the goal of one million pairs in me now, nor is out of reach.
This paper not only its own reality, to make some extra money given record video experience, hope to take this topic, we can bring more progress power. Finally, I wish you all can not only find their own way to make money, but I wish you all at the same time enhance the income of the family good health.
Thank you for reading a long article, the paper wrote there four hours, if you can feel, a lot of thumbs up, a problem can also write a review.
