Out of both curiosity and a personal motivation, I’ve been contemplating starting a YouTube channel with a primary focus on discussing life topics for an extended period. This idea has resurfaced recently. After a conversation with a friend, she suggested I might begin with topics related to money, given how many people have fallen victim to scams involving finances.
This suggestion led me in the following direction:
i) Why do people fall for scams?
There are people (A) who put in genuine effort and hard work to earn money, and then there are people (B) who seek quick financial gains. Clearly, it’s the latter group (B) that tends to be more susceptible to scams.
There might also be people (C) who continually search for ways to supplement their income but despite numerous attempts, find themselves in a rut. There are three possibilities here:
• C doesn’t give up and persists in pursuing what they believe is right, relying on lessons learned and risk management.
• C becomes a victim of a “scammer,” falling prey to the belief that it’s a valid way to make money.
• C gives up and continues to working until the age of 65.
I am really curious about which group of people has higher percentages.
ii) I’ve started to ponder not only the topics that interest me but also those that would captivate others.
Based on my limited knowledge, I assume that most people struggle with fundamental needs like money, employment, food, and relationships. To support this, I referred to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and suspect that many are stuck at the second or third stage. I don’t have concrete data yet, but I plan to gather it as I delve into this venture.
You didn’t ask, but hey! here’s my blog. After a self-review, I believe that “self-actualization,” “esteem” (aiming to liberate myself from conventional work within a year), and a sense of “belonging” are converging for me, especially as I approach 30.
Okay, enough about me. What about your plans?
Hmm, let me think…
