Having an idea for a video or series is great but how do you get from that initial idea to a finished video?

That’s exactly what we’re covering here, I’m breaking it down into the 6 steps I go through and I've made a powerful fill in the blanks worksheet that will help you craft all your future videos!

And I want to say right up front, don’t underestimate the value of properly scripting out your videos. I’ve made them in the past that I recorded off the cuff and after spending a day filming and editing I uploaded them and thought

... what a load of rubbish!

If I’d have gone through this process I may have scrapped it early on or rewritten it so this is where the real work takes place.

 
I realised I was helping people with the mechanics of filming the videos but I hadn’t provided any guidance with the scripting, so here it is.

Now we’re looking  specifically at YouTube videos here but this could apply the same if you’re making course videos too.

Our content is typically an answer to someone’s question, a solution to their problem.

For example, I was asked by several of my students for guidance on making videos specifically for YouTube so that lead to this training series.

But that was just one of many ideas I scribble down all the time. And they’re the source of my weekly videos. So start there and use some method of logging potential video ideas. I use a free program called Trello as you’ll see in a minute but you could use something as simple as the notes app in your phone.

So let me take you over the stages I went through to take that initial idea and turn it into the above video!
