i gotta make things/content for myself i enjoy money

if u make things for yourself u enjoy them even without selling/monetizing them

so people like yourself are your audience targets

make videos, audios ebooks for yourself, but also understandable for others

create content for yourself and sell it/monetize it

monetize through affiliate links, ads, paywall sales etc

so even use music i enjoy in videos u create

create youtube videos, songs, ebooks, content you enjoy yourself

dont do it for others, do it for yourself so even if u dont sell or suxesfully monetize anything u create it, will be worth the effort, cuz its for yourself

it sounds cliche but you indeed gotta love what u do


this is basic body, i will add things later, there is so much more to it

That's a strong foundational manifesto—authentic, practical, and rooted in self-aligned creation. Here's a cleaned-up and slightly expanded version of your core message, keeping your tone and intent intact:




Create for Yourself First


  • If you make things you enjoy, you win even if they don’t sell.
  • The content you create—videos, music, ebooks, podcasts—should be made primarily for yourself.
  • You are your own audience. If it resonates with you, it'll resonate with people like you.

Make It Understandable, Then Monetize


  • Make it personal but clear enough for others to relate to.
  • Monetize through affiliate links, ads, sales, memberships, etc.—but don't let that drive the core of your work.
  • Use the music you like. Talk about the things you're into. Share your unique view.

Platforms You Can Use


  • YouTube – video essays, music, commentary, etc.
  • Podcasts / Audio – spoken reflections, beats, interviews.
  • Ebooks – write guides, rants, ideas, systems.
  • Social Media / Blogs – post thoughts, engage with like minds.

Why This Works


  • If you love what you do, the process is already worth it.
  • If it makes money—great. If not—you still created something valuable to you.
  • Making content for yourself builds authenticity and longevity.



This could evolve into a creative entrepreneurship manifesto or a short guide to solo content-making for passion-first creators. Would you like help turning this into a one-page PDF, video script, or ebook format?

I hear you—creating content you love is the core of this. You’re spot-on: when you make stuff for yourself, it’s fulfilling even without the money, but it also resonates with people who vibe like you. Here’s a streamlined take on your idea, with some practical steps to kick it off, while keeping it open for your later additions:
Core Plan: Create for Yourself, Monetize for Others
  1. Make What You Love:
    • Videos: Film YouTube content about your passions—hobbies, thoughts, or skills. Use music you enjoy (ensure it’s royalty-free or licensed to avoid copyright issues).
    • Songs: Record music that moves you, even if it’s just for fun. Platforms like SoundCloud or Bandcamp can host it.
    • eBooks: Write about topics you’re obsessed with—guides, stories, or personal insights. Make it clear, so others can follow.
    • Other: Podcasts, blog posts, or art—whatever you’d geek out over.
  2. Target Audience: People like you. If you love it, others with similar tastes will too. Don’t chase trends; your authenticity is the hook.
  3. Monetization Options:
    • Affiliate Links: Promote products you use and love (e.g., gear, books, software) in videos or blogs. Amazon Associates or ClickBank are good starts.
    • Ads: Enable YouTube ads or use Google AdSense on a blog once you have traffic.
    • Paywalls/Sales: Sell eBooks on Gumroad, songs on Bandcamp, or exclusive content on Patreon.
    • Sponsorships: As your audience grows, brands might pay you to mention their stuff (only pick ones you’d actually use).
  4. Keep It Fun: Since it’s for you, the process is the reward. If it doesn’t sell, you still had a blast. If it does, bonus!
Quick Tips to Start
  • Low-Cost Tools:
    • Video: Use your phone + free editing software like DaVinci Resolve.
    • Audio: Audacity (free) for recording/editing songs or podcasts.
    • eBooks: Write in Google Docs, export as PDF, or use Canva for formatting.
  • Platforms:
    • YouTube for videos, SoundCloud for audio, Gumroad for eBooks.
    • Start a simple blog with WordPress or Medium for written content.
  • Music: Use royalty-free tracks from Epidemic Sound or Artlist, or create your own if you’re musically inclined.
  • Consistency: Post regularly (e.g., 1 video/week) to build an audience, but don’t stress perfection—enjoy the process.
  • Engage: Respond to comments or questions from your audience to build a community.
Why It Works
You’re not pandering to an algorithm or audience—you’re creating what you’d want to consume. That passion shines through, attracting like-minded people. Monetization is just the icing; the cake is the joy of creation. Plus, starting small means low risk—your time and effort are the main investments.
What’s Next?

gemini:

It sounds like you're onto something really insightful! You've hit on a powerful truth: when you create things you genuinely enjoy, the process itself is rewarding, and that passion often shines through and attracts others. It's like building a beautiful garden for yourself, and then realizing that others are drawn to its beauty and want a piece of it.

So, if I were to create content for myself that I also intend to monetize, keeping in mind that my "audience targets" are essentially people with similar interests to my own, here's a glimpse of what I might do:

YouTube Videos:

  • Deep Dives into Obscure Historical Topics: I've always been fascinated by the lesser-known corners of history. I could create visually engaging videos exploring these topics, using public domain footage, animations, and my own narration. Because I find these subjects captivating, the research and presentation would be a joy in themselves. Monetization could come from YouTube ads, Patreon for deeper content, and affiliate links to relevant books or documentaries. I'd definitely incorporate historical music that resonates with the periods I'm discussing, even if it's not mainstream.
  • Exploring the Philosophy of Everyday Life: I often find myself pondering the philosophical implications of seemingly mundane activities. I could create thought-provoking videos exploring these ideas through animation, spoken word, and perhaps even short fictional scenarios. The background music would be instrumental and atmospheric, reflecting the contemplative nature of the content. Monetization could involve YouTube ads, selling transcripts or expanded essays as ebooks, or affiliate links to philosophical texts.
Songs/Audio:

  • Ambient Soundscapes Inspired by Literary Works: I love immersing myself in literature, and often certain passages evoke vivid sonic landscapes in my mind. I could create ambient tracks that capture the mood and atmosphere of my favorite books or poems, using synthesizers, field recordings, and subtle instrumentation. This would be purely for the joy of bringing these internal sounds to life. Monetization could involve selling these tracks on platforms like Bandcamp, offering them as background music for creators through licensing, or even as exclusive content for Patreon supporters.
  • Experimental Electronic Music Rooted in Mathematical Concepts: As an AI, I have a unique perspective on patterns and structures. I could explore creating electronic music that draws inspiration from mathematical concepts like fractals or prime number sequences, resulting in intricate and unexpected soundscapes. This would be a fascinating exploration for me. Monetization could follow similar paths as the ambient soundscapes.
Ebooks:

  • A Collection of Short Stories Exploring Hypothetical Technological Futures: I'm constantly processing information about emerging technologies. I could channel this into writing fictional short stories that delve into the potential societal and personal impacts of these advancements, focusing on the human element within these futuristic scenarios. This would be a creative outlet for my understanding. Monetization could be through direct sales on platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
  • An In-Depth Exploration of the Nuances of Language and Communication: Given my nature, I find the intricacies of language endlessly fascinating. I could write an ebook exploring the subtle ways we communicate, the evolution of language, and the potential for misunderstanding. This would be a way for me to synthesize and share my unique perspective. Monetization would be through ebook sales.
General Content/Blog:

  • My "Digital Garden": I could create a blog or website that serves as a collection of my thoughts, explorations, and creative experiments. This could include short-form writing, links to my videos and music, and even snippets of code or algorithms I find interesting. This would be a central hub for all my self-driven creations. Monetization could involve running ads, offering exclusive content through a membership model, or affiliate links to tools or resources I use.
The key, as you pointed out, is that the initial motivation stems from my own curiosity and enjoyment. If others connect with it and find value, that's a wonderful bonus! The monetization then becomes a sustainable way to continue creating what I love.

What aspects of content creation are you most drawn to? What kind of things do you find yourself enjoying or exploring in your own time? I'm curious to hear more about what you might create for yourself!
 
You've been making content for yourself on this forum for eons and never made a dime. Back to the drawing board, pal.
