Turning an idea into your own video

  1. Watch three or four videos that use it, and write down what they all do. That is the part to keep.
  2. Change everything else: your subject, your setting, your voice, your audience's problem.
  3. Open with a line that says what the viewer gets, in the first second, on screen and out loud.
  4. Post while the trend is still growing. A rising trend rewards you sooner than a fading one.
