I am so glad I have... YOU!

Content creation is fun, painful, rewarding and frustrating - all at the same time! But without this one element: YOU - most would fail

When things are going well and everyone is cheering you on, it’s easy to forget how you got to that point. You may even think that it’s ‘all you’ and your efforts alone is what got you to your achievements.

And I will admit, when I started creating content I had not considered how important it was to have a strong support group around me.

Followers and subscribers are indeed part of one’s community, and some of those can even become close friends who you call upon, and share your successes, challenges and failures.

To have people close to you who share the same passion for your craft and go through the same challenges, is extremely important.

In the last few weeks I’ve realised that it’s when things are challenging, when you are down and feeling like the world is against you… THAT’S when you notice those who truly support you.

I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for those people, and if it wasn’t for YOUR support, whether you follow me on Twitter, subscribe to my channel on YouTube, or simply read this newsletter… Without YOU, I would have given up creating content by now.

If you are starting out in a new field, I would really encourage you to do these two things:

1. Join a community online of people in your space.

2. Find that inner circle, that group of like-minded individuals who will have your back when the ‘going gets tough’.

It takes time, and I don’t really think I have fully built a community yet, but it’s certainly something I want to prioritise and continue to do.

I love when I do livestreams and have never regretted doing one. I get a real buzz when engaging directly with my audience, without a script, just chatting and enjoying the topic of tech.

I am certain that things like that, is what builds community, so expect more live content from me 🥰

What’s coming up on the channel?

Ok, Alex - enough waffling on about community, GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT! 🤣

Well I am glad you asked!

I have been working for a long time on building an extreme PC. Maxed out in pretty much every area, it’s a passion of mine and I can’t wait to share it. I was going to share that in May but when I asked you, what you’d like to see first, most of you wanted an S23 Ultra update. And I am glad I listened to you! That video did really well.

Taking a risk with content

So now, it’s time to take a risk. No risk, no reward, right?

I will share my PC building journey and the monstrosity I built, and hopefully that can be something I do every now and then, as I really enjoyed that process.

It’s about time!

Something else I’ve been working on is a review of a Garmin Smartwatch. Not so much as a direct comparison to the Apple Watch Ultra, (well, a little bit of a comparison) but also an insight in what’s like to have a dedicated watch for sports that has a 3 week long battery!

Plenty of content coming up on smartphones too, with a surprise newcomer brand that I never tried before (!!) And I will also be working on some iPad reviews, as the latest Beta update from Apple promises to make the iPad more useful, and I am excited for that.

Thank you for subscribing to this newsletter, I am looking forward to sharing more with you! Have a lovely day, wherever you are 🙏🏼
