I think the explanation for exponential growth is a little simpler. You simply convey your professional experience, even in tutorials for noobs. I would really like to believe that network effects are not the main growth factor, but personal pain points are. Good luck!

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Personal pain points have proved to be my "stickiest" content. So I think you're on to something.

Thanks🎉

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Happy to help 😁

The best way to make money with data science I think is to make your own ML saas products and build them in public. It'll attract people to you who are developing similar things and could use your help. This can turn into either a job, freelance clients, or you get rich on your own. It takes a long time to do this though, but I'm doing it, so we'll see what happens.

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Thanks for the comment! That’s an awesome idea and the longer term goal. Even if what I build fails, I can still make videos about it and hopefully provide value to those building similar things 😎
I plan on building more in space of AI music next year and sharing it here.

[@DarkRaviForDeath]

@@ShawhinTalebi Exactly. That's awesome, I always wanted to get into AI music, it just didn't seem like we were there yet. I'll keep an eye out for your stuff though :)

[@CausalPython]

Great to learn from your experiences - thanks for sharing @Shaw Talebi

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Hope it’s helpful 😁

You content much more useful, than youtube monetization and I hope that you will have much more rewards from your content! Have a good day!

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Thanks for the kind words. The learning and connections I make are the biggest upside 😁
