Hi Sohini, thanks for the post. Followed you on Twitter as well.

I have a Youtube that have a decent subs and dev.to

Do you think that is enough to be a dev advocate? What do you do day to day as an advocate?

Hi! This looks great. I like the number of subscribers you have, along with the dev.to posts. I'd like to suggest, maybe you can add your own picture to your channel as well as the dev.to account, to make it look like it's really you. Apart from that, it all looks absolutely a good to go thingy! Only one thing is missing, maybe you could be socially more active with all the awesome stuff you're doing! I hope that helps :-)

Day to Day life adds to exploring content, creating content and finally evangelising them (Blogs+Video Tutorials). The exploring content is the hardest part as that involves finding unique and useful stuff, for people. And yes, tweeting too! 🙈

I really love to help people, and so i'm looking forward to writing more blogs to help people and make them aware of this role.

Well i say, right now is the time! And confidence is the key. You know you have enough stuff to show and tell your recruiter when you apply for a role. So start applying! There are a lot of openings nowadays for dev advocacy! :-)
