Here& #39;s a list of things I think(?) I& #39;m not very good at as a community dev, that I probably should be.

A bit of realism and honesty when it comes to abilities!

1. I& #39;m shy AND introverted https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙈" title="Nichts sehen-Affe" aria-label="Emoji: Nichts sehen-Affe">

In a job where you need to get to know people, I& #39;m.. quite shy. Like, really shy.

I get queasy introducing myself to new people, the larger a group gets the more quiet I get, I actively try to skip out on as many parties as I can, etc.
2. Photoshop/Premiere https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖌️" title="Farbpinsel unten links" aria-label="Emoji: Farbpinsel unten links">

I& #39;m self taught, so a lot of my content is haphazardly slapped on. Why does my content not look as clean as other studios sometimes? Because I might& #39;ve literally just Googled how to do it hours before https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">
3. Analytics https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend">

I& #39;m not sure HOW in depth some studios want their analytics, but I can& #39;t genuinely say I& #39;m the BEST at them? (E.g. my knowledge of Google Analytics is pretty basic.)

I can do reports, but sometimes it feels like I should... Do more...? Should I?? Hmmm????
4. Influencer strategy https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎥" title="Filmkamera" aria-label="Emoji: Filmkamera">

I& #39;ve never had enough time to really work out a heavy duty influencer plan! So I& #39;d say my tracking and work around it is not as in depth as I& #39;d like.
5. Budgets https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💰" title="Geldsack" aria-label="Emoji: Geldsack">

My work is primarily in the poor indie space, which means... If I& #39;m given a budget, I& #39;m actually quite lost on where to allocate it (other than say, doing paid ads.)
.. And more, prob!

I think it& #39;s valuable to know your weaknesses (without shame) because... Well, how else will you improve? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau">

Partially wrote this & #39;cause I& #39;m doing a talk on "Failure Marketing" for the lovely @GDoCExpo btw! :) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
