What Do You Want?

I have been trying to crack "the code" for many years. I know how to make good money as an engineer, and that is fine. However, since the age of 12 my primary passion has been related to photography and film-making. Like most of you here on Steemit I want to create, and I want to create something of enough value that I can make a living doing so. I want to benefit and I want the recipients of my creations to benefit.

I have been producing content on YouTube since 2006. By content I mean actual content, not just pictures of kittens (like I used here to get your attention) or "epic fails." My goal was and is to create something of value to others and something true to who I am. I just checked to see what my most viewed videos are. The photo below is a snapshot. I am happy that my coverage of Michael Berry is near the top but I'm not sure why. I am super-happy to see that my review of the wildlife zoo gets so much interest.

My trailer for my first feature film (Spirits Among Us) is the most viewed, which doesn't surprise me since it has been there a long time, is a pretty cool trailer, and has Mary Sarah (The Voice) in it when she was a young actress. What surprises me is that my fairly recent review of Carvana is so close to to the top!
The point I am making here is this. I want to create from my heart, using my talents and provide them to people who can appreciate them enough to pay back enough that I can do this full time rather than piling it on to my "real job" workload and normal life chores.

How do I crack the code that shows me the intersection between "what people want" and "what value I can deliver?"
Wow, that ended flat. Sorry about that. Rhyme not intended.
Thank your for reading.
PS: The last photo is one that I shot of Mary Sarah at Michael Berry's Redneck Country Club. That talented hard working young woman has put more effort into making her passion into a career than I have. I admire everyone who breaks away from the crowd to pursue what they came here to earth to accomplish.
