Should we create free tutorials for the resin community

Hey everyone! Our team has had an idea recently. We’re planning to create a series of dry flower resin tutorials that cover everything from basic techniques to advanced creative ideas, making it convenient for enthusiasts to learn at home. However, as we’ve been moving forward with this plan, we’ve developed some serious concerns.

Currently, there are many professional dry flower resin trainers out there. They teach this craft through offline workshops, online courses, and other forms, and rely on this as their source of income. We’re worried that once these free tutorials are released, it might have an impact on their student recruitment and, in turn, affect their livelihoods.

On the positive side, the widespread dissemination of knowledge can enable more people to get exposed to and fall in love with dry flower resin creation, expanding the community of enthusiasts. It might even uncover more potential students and bring new opportunities for the trainers. Also, online tutorials can’t fully replace the interactivity and personalized guidance that face-to-face teaching offers.

But there’s no denying that there are also potential negative impacts. For those trainers who rely on training income, free and comprehensive tutorials might lead some people to choose self-study instead, reducing their willingness to sign up for training courses.

So, we’d like to hear your thoughts:
Will our creation of these tutorials really harm the interests of the trainers?
From the perspectives of ethics and industry development, should we actually go ahead with this plan?

Everyone is welcome to share your thoughts and experiences freely.

Personally, I definitely want to see more free tutorials. Not everyone can afford paid courses, and free tutorials make this craft accessible to more people, and more people = bigger market, which will benefit trainers too! I think it will really help grow the community.
And for trainers, it’s about making their courses worth paying for - unique projects, cool ideas, awesome atmosphere, etc. There will always be aspects that free online tutorials can’t give you, maybe personalized feedback, hands-on guidance, etc. Ultimately, I think free resources and valuable paid instruction are both essential to building a bigger, thriving community. :clap:

I posted on Instagram yesterday and did some research. Most people are against providing free tutorials, which does have a certain impact on some groups.
We will carefully consider and ultimately make a decision that is beneficial to all.

Thank you for your valuable comments.
