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:

  1. Links to videos or channels you have personally worked on.
  2. A brief explanation of what you did for them.
  3. The parts of the process you are strongest at teaching.
  4. How you would structure the first few sessions.
  5. 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.

Mentor available

I have been reading some of the posts here and would like to offer something fairly specific.

I am willing to mentor one person who is already building an AI product, an AI-enabled service or a business making serious use of AI.

I am not looking for someone who only has an idea and needs somebody else to build it. You do not need substantial revenue or a polished company, but you should have something I can see: a working product, prototype, service, early users, customer conversations or other credible evidence that you have begun.

My background spans more than 25 years in technology, operations, cybersecurity, transformation and organisational change. I co-founded and helped grow a technology services business to approximately 70 people across three continents. I now work through Almost Magic Tech Lab on AI strategy, governance, responsible adoption, agentic systems and the organisational questions that appear when AI moves beyond experimentation.

I may be useful if you are dealing with questions such as:

  • What should we focus on now, and what should we stop doing?
  • Are we solving a problem people will pay to have solved?
  • How do we turn an interesting product into a reliable business?
  • How do we stop every decision and task depending on the founder?
  • What governance, data and safeguards are actually necessary?
  • How do we introduce enough operating discipline without burying a young business in process?

I am proposing a six-week, no-fee mentorship: three one-hour conversations, with a short written update before each one. We would agree on one meaningful problem to work on. You would remain responsible for the decisions and the work between conversations.

A few boundaries are important. I am not offering to build the product, provide unlimited consulting, find customers, make introductions on demand or fund the business. Mentorship does not imply employment, investment or partnership.

If we later discover genuine mutual fit, evidence and trust, I would be open to discussing a separate operating collaboration, advisory relationship or personal investment. There is no promise or expectation of that.

If you are interested, send me a short message covering:

  1. What are you building?
  2. Who is it for?
  3. What exists today that I can see?
  4. What evidence do you have that the problem matters?
  5. What is the main constraint you are facing now?
  6. What would you like to accomplish during the six weeks?
  7. What country and time zone are you in?

A rough demo and an honest account of where things stand will tell me more than a polished pitch deck.
