Evergreen Topic: Think of it as a gateway to other notes, thoughts and resources. I'll be adding to this as I learn more

Why Youtube?

Getting Started

Path of least resistance

I started with shorts first

  • This was a lowest barrier to entry because I already had content that was 'working' on IGShort form vertical content and changing media formats

Streaming

My first Youtube stream

  • Just getting something up on youtube
  • Starting small
  • Optimise my time
    • Questions I can gather
    • Re-upload content to reels/tiktok/shorts
  • I actually fell in love with doing streams

Treating it like study

  • Obsidian study notes
  • Youtube Thumbnail and Title tool (what I built)
  • Title and thumbnail first
  • Being aprehensive doing the 'Youtube' face
✅ My Video Creation Starter that has all the links to other resources to get me started

The 'resistance' is kicking in

  • Who cares about what I have to say?
  • What do I do videos about?
  • Perfectionism overload
  • Overanalising
  • Not taking my own advice when it comes to doing shit
