But as everyone says, an engineer can do anything without any experience too.
I did B.tech and M.tech in Computer Science and Engineering. After that, I joined a start-up and realized that working under so much pressure is not my cup of tea. So I just dropped the idea and started pursuing my all-time favourite job i.e. Educating and sharing my knowledge. I joined IMS Engineering College, Ghaziabad as an assistant professor in the CSE branch.
2. When did you first decide that you wanted to create content and how did you start?
After getting married, I shifted from Ghaziabad. So I had to resign from my job. But after quitting my job and within 8 months, I got lots of messages from my students of IMS that they wanted to learn Java from me. Then the idea of creating a YouTube channel was clicked.
But this idea was not that much easy to execute. The equipment required to shoot the videos, edit, publish, etc. means so much to do that too without any prior experience. But as everyone says, an engineer can do anything without any experience too. So I started recording the videos, by putting the camera in front of me, on any topic.
After the shoot, I used to share the videos with my close ones and ask them to review them. In this way, I came out from the state of hesitation (I guess) for putting my content in front of many people that too on YouTube. Also, I did not purchase any tripod or mic. Because I was like, after creating videos on Java, I’ll quit YouTube.
So I used to put my phone in between 2 pillows for shooting the videos. I learned video editing, writing titles, and hashtags by myself. And this process took 2 months. So in this way, I started creating content in Java, a programming language. And after creating videos on Java, I got a very good response from all over India and other countries. So I decided not to quit and pursue YouTube.
3. Is vlogging and YouTube content creation a financially sustainable career?
People used to say …those days are gone when you would grow to be a doctor or engineer. 7 out of 10 want to be a YouTuber. But it is not that much easy and not a financially sustainable career for me. In my opinion, take YouTube as your side hustle but not as a primary source of income.
4. Who is your favourite creator and why?
My favourite creators are Salonayyy, Raj Grover, and Saloni Shrivastav. All of them are doing great on YouTube.
5. How and where do you find inspiration to churn out content?
Before going to bed, I always check out the comments on my videos. And those comments are more than enough for me to create more and more quality content.
6. What does your typical day look like?
My day starts with my family. After taking morning online and offline classes, I spend all my time with my daughter. And after 8PM, whenever she gets to sleep, my office work starts. I always prefer not to waste my time on TV or mobile. If my daughter is not with me, maybe she is sleeping or playing with other family members, you will find me in front of my System either shooting videos or editing videos.
My
work is just like a stress buster or a soothing therapy for me, you can say. So
that’s what my typical day looks like.
