I want to be a content creator

I want to be a content creator. I don't know exactly what form that will take. It could be blogging. It could be a YouTube channel. It could be authoring books. There's a lot I'm not sure about. But, creating content is something I want to do.

I know that I enjoy learning new things. I also know that I enjoy sharing what I learn. So, why not focus on doing that.

This isn't the first time I've had a goal like this. I've tried to do this before. But, this time it will be different. This time I have a plan.

My previous attempts, I now know, started backwards. I started with the publishing side. I would learn all I could about blogging. I would buy all the gear I needed to make videos. I would read about how to self publish books. I was more interested in the output than the process.

That's what I'm changing this time. This time I'm all about the process.

I still don't know exactly what I'm going to put out there but I have a process to figure that out. Here are the main points:

  1. Research anything that seems interesting.
  2. Take notes on everything.
  3. Make connections between those notes.
  4. Use those connections to make insights.
  5. Share those connections and insights.

This isn't going to be a quick process. But, the fact that this time I have a process is a big change. This time I know more than how to put the content out there. This time I have a process for how to develop that content.
