help me learn how to create YouTube videos
I am looking for someone who can teach me how to create good YouTube videos from beginning to end.
I am not looking for an agency to run a channel for me, a course containing hours of prerecorded material, or promises about going viral. I want practical, one-to-one guidance from someone who has actually made videos and can teach the process clearly.
I write regularly about AI, business, history, philosophy and some of the quieter questions of everyday life. I have plenty of material, but written work does not automatically become good video. I would like to learn that craft properly.
The areas where I may need help include:
- deciding which ideas suit long-form videos and which suit Shorts;
- turning written material into a natural video script;
- choosing between speaking to camera, voiceover and visual-essay formats;
- getting lighting and sound right without unnecessary equipment;
- recording and editing efficiently;
- using images, archival material, music and B-roll responsibly;
- creating titles, thumbnails, captions and descriptions;
- publishing consistently without making content production a full-time burden;
- understanding enough analytics to improve the next video.
My initial aim is not rapid channel growth. It is to create two or three good videos and develop a repeatable process that I can continue using independently.
I am happy to pay for the right guidance. I suggest beginning with one paid one-hour session. If we work well together, we could agree on a short programme of four to six sessions built around producing and publishing actual videos.
If interested, please send me:
- Links to videos or channels you have personally worked on.
- A brief explanation of what you did for them.
- The parts of the process you are strongest at teaching.
- How you would structure the first few sessions.
- Your rate and time zone.
Please do not send a generic agency pitch. I am looking for someone who enjoys teaching and wants the learner to become capable without depending on them indefinitely.
