If not for how to use a new kind of software, then how to refill the fluids in your car. Video tutorials are just much easier and more efficient for most types of learning.<\/p>\n<p>But when filmmaker <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chris_weiher\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Weiher<\/a> set out to learn more about Adobe illustrator, he couldn\u2019t find the kind of video he was looking for, so he created a live stream tutorial website called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.watchmework.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Me Work<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"318\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3375\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04172136\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-6.19.54-PM-1024x318.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-05-04 at 6.19.54 PM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04172136\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-6.19.54-PM.png 1024w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04172136\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-6.19.54-PM.png 300w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04172136\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-6.19.54-PM.png 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is Weiher\u2019s first dive into the tech startup space, though he runs a small film production company of his own. In fact, that\u2019s what led him to needing to learn Illustrator. In his business he often needs to wear all of the hats, and adding to his collection is now the hat of startup founder.<\/p>\n<p><b>Weiher\u00a0talked to me about creating a co-working space for a global community in real time.<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe title=\"What is Watch Me Work?\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wCLnJ0IDHKc?start=65&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The Idea<\/h2>\n<p>While he was scrolling through Adobe Illustrator tutorials, Weiher could only find lessons on how to use specific tools. But without seeing how those tools were used together to create a complete project, he said it just wasn\u2019t clicking for him.<\/p>\n<p>Even before he\u2019d decided to pursue this idea as a business, he was Googling \u201cwatch me work,\u201d in hopes of finding what he was looking for.<\/p>\n<p>In September of last year, he pitched his idea at <a href=\"http:\/\/Chicago Startup Weekend of Education.\" target=\"_blank\">Chicago Startup Weekend of Education<\/a>. He only had 30\u00a0seconds, so he said his pitch went something like, \u201cHere\u2019s my name. Here\u2019s what I do. I wanted to learn Illustrator. I couldn\u2019t find a place. Here&#8217;s my idea. It&#8217;s called Watch Me Work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His idea was selected, and people at Startup Weekend would come around and find projects that fit them.\u00a0Weiher said, &#8220;It was just this really quick, organic way of building your own team and it was awesome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Before I knew it, we had a small team and we were turning it from an idea into a concept,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And then at the end of the weekend, I basically got a business plan and I walked out of there thinking,\u00a0&#8216;I have another business now.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Having an entire in-person team while at the Startup Weekend was really beneficial for Weiher to see his ideas come to life quickly. He&#8217;s used to working mostly by himself and occasionally with remote freelancers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So to all of a sudden have a team of five people just working for eight hours a day on something \u2014 it was unbelievable what you could accomplish,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"995\" height=\"494\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3374\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04172134\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-6.20.24-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-05-04 at 6.20.24 PM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04172134\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-6.20.24-PM.png 995w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04172134\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-6.20.24-PM.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 995px) 100vw, 995px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Finding a Team<\/h2>\n<p>Once he left the Startup Weekend, he didn\u2019t have his team anymore, so he had to start recruiting. &#8220;The first step was trying to <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkapps.com\/blog\/discovery\/questions-ask-hiring-app-developer\/\" target=\"_blank\">find a developer<\/a>, which everyone knows is really, really hard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Weiher has been <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkapps.com\/blog\/entrepreneurship\/save-money-early-stage-startup\/\" target=\"_blank\">self-funding<\/a>, so he was looking for someone really skilled who he could afford. He reached out to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ericbjerstedt\" target=\"_blank\">Eric Bjerstedt<\/a>, a mentor at Startup Weekend for any leads.<\/p>\n<p>Weiher&#8217;s first and second developers came out of <a href=\"http:\/\/devbootcamp.com\/learn-ruby-javascript\/locations\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dev Bootcamp in Chicago<\/a>. First he worked to <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkapps.com\/blog\/wireframes\/how-to-create-wireframe-for-designer\/\" target=\"_blank\">structure the site<\/a> and build an MVP and, to his surprise, they had it finished in a couple of weeks. &#8220;It actually worked, which was amazing,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There were a lot of things that lined up very, very well. I kept expecting to hit big roadblocks, but it just kept going in the right direction, which is amazing because it never happens that way,&#8221; Weiher said.<\/p>\n<p>His current version of the site \u2014 version number three \u2014 was built with a developer who had more of a focus on front-end, so Weiher has\u00a0been able to revamp the design.<\/p>\n<h2>Finding Early Adopters and Building Trust<\/h2>\n<p>To recruit his initial fleet of streamers, Weiher tapped creative friends and family who already understood his mission and were excited to help jumpstart this community.<\/p>\n<p>He wrote on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.producthunt.com\/posts\/watch-me-work\" target=\"_blank\">Product Hunt<\/a>, \u201cWe&#8217;re currently growing our Early Adopter user base from our first 25 to our first 100. Early Adopters commit to stream for 1 hour a week for 12 weeks. In exchange for their help building the community, they&#8217;ll receive access to being a Featured Streamer for life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To stream, users use the \u201clive\u201d function on YouTube. So even if you don\u2019t catch the stream when it\u2019s live, they\u2019re all still available on the site, enabling you to tune in whenever you want.<\/p>\n<p>Weiher said, &#8220;I initially thought that it would have a lot of traction with students and teachers because it&#8217;s a tremendous learning application &#8230; but [it&#8217;s] very hard to convince them to start doing it because it&#8217;s a really alien feeling [at first]\u00a0if you&#8217;ve never streamed anything before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Most often, people are worried about revealing something compromising on their stream like a banking alert that pops up or their email addresses. Weiher said it can feel like you\u2019re exposing everything, but if anything compromising does pop up, you can just close out of the stream.<\/p>\n<p>Right now in this beta phase, viewer counts are low so\u00a0he said there\u2019s really nothing to worry about. It&#8217;s a great time to try it and work out the kinks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a very young feeling, but after you&#8217;ve done it once or twice, it becomes much more comfortable,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to watching people work on various creative software programs, Weiher wants to incorporate more \u201creal life\u201d streaming for more hands-on skills like carpentry and even performance.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, there\u2019s a sculptor on the site named <a href=\"http:\/\/www.watchmework.com\/users\/146\" target=\"_blank\">Jin Lee<\/a> and watching his hands mold clay into human forms is surreal and inspiring, even if you\u2019re not an aspiring sculptor. Weiher said, \u201cThat&#8217;s the next direction that I think it&#8217;s going to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04185403\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-7.53.59-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"587\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3380\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04185403\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-7.53.59-PM-1024x587.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-05-04 at 7.53.59 PM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04185403\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-7.53.59-PM.png 1024w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04185403\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-7.53.59-PM.png 300w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04185403\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-7.53.59-PM.png 1133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Twitch.tv for Teaching<\/h2>\n<p>Watch Me Work is an attempt to sort of connect both sides of the screen and let both streamers and viewers teach each other.<\/p>\n<p>Weiher himself has made tons of streams and he said, &#8220;I&#8217;ve actually learned more as a streamer than as a watcher, because if you end up working with somebody who&#8217;s much further ahead than you, they&#8217;re going to see what you&#8217;re doing and give you ten tips in ten minutes on ways to do it faster, do it better, et cetera.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said, &#8220;The people who are coming from <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkapps.com\/blog\/launch\/how-start-startup-getting-press-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\">Twitch<\/a>, which is the majority of our new users, have a &#8230; classic relationship of content creator to audience\u00a0&#8230;\u00a0But my vision for it is that the user would expect to get as much input from your audience as the other way around,\u201d Weiher said.<\/p>\n<p>This vision\u00a0means that this platform is not just for pros to broadcast how they work.<\/p>\n<h2>Ideal for the Remote Worker<\/h2>\n<p>Weiher brought up co-working a lot, which speaks to the rapidly-growing freelance industry. &#8220;According to Elance, one in three people now are freelancing in some capacity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Since Watch Me Work has a focus on creative industries, this often attracts freelancers and one-person teams. Weiher said, &#8220;Even when people are working in an office, sometimes their team is in another office. So even though they&#8217;re not working out of their home, they&#8217;re still working remotely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Being able to co-work from wherever it is that you work (and with other people in your field) provides a great teaching asset, but also a feeling of community.<\/p>\n<p>Weiher said that it\u2019s common for one person at a small company to take on\u00a0web design, graphic design, and video duties, and a site like Watch Me Work can provide them with some of the support that they need.<\/p>\n<p>Weiher wants to &#8220;make it a space where you can share anything that&#8217;s productive.&#8221;\u00a0You can think of it as virtual co-working sessions with experts in your field.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t pull up the screen &#8230; to just sit there and watch everything that they do, but you co-inhabit that space together, so you form a relationship with that person. You can expect them to be there [at certain times] and you work next to them and virtually share space that way, rather than the traditional way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"884\" height=\"473\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3373\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04172132\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-6.20.47-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-05-04 at 6.20.47 PM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04172132\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-6.20.47-PM.png 884w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04172132\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-04-at-6.20.47-PM.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Next for Watch Me Work<\/h2>\n<p>On May 11, Watch Me Work will begin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/watch-me-work\" target=\"_blank\">fundraising on Indiegogo<\/a> to relieve some of the financial pains of self-funding and hopefully bring in\u00a0enough money to hire at least one part-time developer through the end of the year to help implement new tech and features.<\/p>\n<p>Later this year, Weiher plans to release user profiles with links to users&#8217;\u00a0online portfolios\u00a0and\u00a0resumes. He also wants to incorporate technology that&#8217;s similar to what\u2019s used at Twitch that allows streamers to share not only their screen, but their face simultaneously to make the community even more personal.<\/p>\n<p>He even hopes to \u201cstart growing it outside of the creative sphere,&#8221; perhaps branching into things like AutoCAD, WordPress, and social marketing.
