Will creating a video course make you rich?

All right, let’s get to the question that’s on everyone’s mind: Will I get rich by recording screencasts?

Here’s the honest answer — I have no idea. I can’t promise you’ll get rich, and I’m not here to sell you that dream. My job isn’t to convince you that making screencasts will lead to unlimited wealth. That’s not what this course is about.

What I am here to do is teach you a hard skill — how to create high-quality screencasts. And I’m confident that if you apply what you learn, good things will come your way.

The value of a hard skill

Learning how to create screencasts can open doors. After this course, you might decide to create your own course and sell it. Maybe you’ll produce content on YouTube. Or perhaps you’ll make product demos for your company.

And sure, some people do make a lot of money doing this. But others don’t — and that’s okay. Regardless of your path, having polished videos out in the world is valuable. These videos become artifacts that represent your work, advocate on your behalf, and show your expertise.

Opportunities beyond money

Creating screencasts can lead to opportunities like:

• Job offers — Your videos can showcase your skills to potential employers.
• Speaking engagements — Maybe you get invited to speak at conferences.
• Podcast features — Sharing your knowledge could land you guest spots on podcasts.
• Collaborations — You might meet like-minded creators and work together.

Whether it’s through blog posts, tweets, LinkedIn updates, or videos, putting your work into the world increases your chances of good things happening.

So, will you get rich?

That’s not my problem! But I can tell you this: mastering the skill of screencasting will absolutely bring opportunities your way.

Let’s focus on making some incredible videos and see what happens!
