What would you like to learn from your favourite makers ?
Hey Guys ! I want to start a series where I interview some of the prolific members of our community who have not yet have their voices heard.
What are some of the questions that I can ask in this interview series ? 🤔
- How do you combine family and work?
- How much time do you spend on your health?
- How often do you go to the doctor?
- How much do you read?
- If you don't read, why?
- Which books really helped you?
- Would you change anything from the last three or five years if you could change it?
- What would you like to teach in universities?
- If someone asks you if he should become a maker / freelancer / entrepreneur, what do you advise him to do?

It depends on the person you're interviewing.
Each person has different experiences, different interesting stories and that's precisely what I would like to know, the particularities of each person's experience.
There are enough interviews out there that ask generic questions. Asking the same questions to everybody is for me missing the most important and interesting part.
I want stories 😊
I agree so much with this sentiment, I'm definitely crafting unique questions for interviewees 😄
What do you like to do outside of making? What made them want to make products, is there a specific reason or story?
I think all that I would ask is already mentioned. But on top of questions, I would love to listen/read to new upcoming Maker's. All the known one got interviewed 100 times and there are 100 posts from them self and book's etc already. Personally I liked the first to Episodes Sergio did until now.
Exactly who I'm trying to interview, up and coming makers, not pre established ones 😄
I would like to know: what was their first project about? Tools they using (tasks, habits, project management). Personal habits What they doing for promotion, marketing (social share, Reddit, PH) Some stats about their projects (even if it would be low) If they can show some ideas which they would like to work on but don't have time for it.
If I would do the interview I would probably try to ask what they actually do and try to get a view inside their routines and their usual days, I wouldn't be talking about general advice (work hard, learn how to code, keep shipping, etc.) … personally, I don't like if the interview gets too philosophical hehe.
Hope it helps. Take care:)
I would like to now good tactics to build an audience from scratch. Something new, maybe, not the tactics that everybody knows and uses.
Will definitely use this when interviewing makers who cater to large audiences
