I want to start a TikTok. Thinking I’ll start this weekend.
Thinking it would be cool to learn how to translate my ideas and things I can teach into that medium from someone who knows it well, put the interview on YouTube
I send you an essay, or a blog post, or some moderate length text
you send me a Dropbox link with audio file of decent reading
As in 1 take from medium skill voice actor who can pronounce (or look up pronunciation for technical terms)
I’m happy to pay $1 a minute, and not publish links — just keep for personal use.
Would start with a package of 15/hrs ($900) a month.
Should be enough to bootstrap
decent chunk of my requests will be public domain so you can use to advertise.
To apply: reply to this thread say which of posts 1-21 of below you’ll record
I like your tweet to shake, you DM me recording and I’ll pay you for it, (plus $10 for @fortelabs’ paywall) best submissions get a week long trial, very best get monthly gig.
I was surprised to see such a negative reaction to this exchange - but I think I see something pretty useful here, and it seems worth sharing while it is fresh - so at risk of further derailing my day...
Why I said "No" to Roadmaps
And why the right response was [[Yes and]]
Throughout my life, I've had a lot of people tell me that they think I should have different priorities, or do different tasks (Go to college, get a job etc)
An important shifts in my life was realizing that it was almost never the right move to ARGUE with those folks
I’m probably even worse at managing and recruiting than design or engineering!
A better CEO would almost certainly have grown our team faster, and managed the great staff we have more effectively
In that world we’d have even better collaboration and “Trust No One” security
As it stands, we have best in class security, but the class includes folks like Google, Facebook, and every run of the mill tech company that wants to mine your data to serve you ads.
