I think the best way to use bullet points is to have them in form of questions as if someone was interviewing you. Example: Instead of "Talk about scripting" I'd use: "What would be the most efficient way to script a video?". Do this with 3 to 5 questions about your main topic and it'll be easier on your brain to produce content on the fly.

[@proverbs31lifecoaching]

I like that idea a lot

[@cryptobagz]

I'm glad it helped😊​@@proverbs31lifecoaching

[@rafdam]

What an excellent idea. I wonder if that works all the time though. But even if it doesn’t, I will definitely incorporate that into my bullets. Thanks for the tip!

[@Chingah91]

Ali has, hands down, one been of the most valueable sources of knowledge for starting a KZbin channel, business Building, [everyday/layman's] productivity (as opposed to the 'hyper optinized, time block every minute of my day' type of productivity), if not the best source, atleast for myself. And think is a close 2nd! Thanks to both of you and your teams!!! ❤ And im taking away the permission/recommendation to not script word for word; I wasn't going to before watching this but I kinda felt guilty for knowing I was not going to script word for word, now I can do as planned without the self-imposed guilt trip 😂

[@dustinmurphy82]

Ali is the man! Just finished one of his classes on Skill Share

[@GrantCrowell]

I actually don't have an issue with scripting videos when I work with ChatGPT and use my Elgato Teleprompter and Stream Deck Pedal, since the script is generated from my original notes and the generative AI quickly formats and edits it better.

[@ItsMurz]

I've just posted my first youtube video because of you and i'm so grateful for your help. I really hope it gets some views, but more than anything i found it so fun to make. Thank you Ali. For anyone else on the fence, just START!

Great job my brother, your video has great information and will be helpful to many. Keep going, you're on the right track.

[@thejasontlewis]

Here’s my number 1 take away: don’t be a Dr. in the UK. $15/hr is not enough. 😂

[@MikeRivkees]

Seriously! My first job as a video editor editing weddings was $15/hour and I could barely get by.

[@Elpipiton]

I has to put the phone closer to my ear. He said 15 dollars an hour? That minimum wage in usa. What?

[@equi]

yeah, i don't believe that.. unless the definition of Doctor is different in the US. Because here.. they make north of $200/hour.

[@Daniel.Eriksson]

I needed this video! I script word for word and it takes up so much time, time that I really dont have with a family and a full time job. Thanks!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

[@ELTExperiences]

Thank you for sharing. I started watching Ali when he was a doctor and enjoyed his content. Very insightful.

[@MichaelsFavoriteThings]

I always love your content and have found it to be so helpful, but this one, being a bit shorter, has really helped me get started on KZbin. Thank you!

Great to hear!

[@amg-7]

This guy and you are my midlife mentors these days

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

There was some good simple advice in this video. I could solve the problem of not having to script my videos if I could outsource editing. My channel is not making money yet. I have ways to make money in place but those ways aren't making money yet. As far as the hook, I've started coming up with the hook last because I have to know what's gonna be in my video to use it in my hook. So I at least need to know my outline.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Great way to go about it! After I get my initial idea and find the best topic/title (like Ali showed), I like to make an outline of what I want to cover, that helps inform my hook as well as title and thumbnail!

[@markkelderman2439]

Being a KZbinr is like running a business, you always need to give your viewers what they want. You can't become complacent at any moment. At the end of the day, toughest part is definitely starting your channel and growing it up to the point you become successful (and honestly if I haven't used a lot of Fame-ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It was a proper game-changer for me, and once you become successful it is a great tool to control algorithm).

[@martinmestrevlog]

thank you think media... you guys are always dropping gems... very grateful.

[@shreyasiroy781]

Totally agree with the video editing point... it's so much time consuming and I hate doing that...but the things is to outsource I need money 😢

[@hopeinart-design]

I’m feeling positive as I’m implementing most of his advice. At the moment, I’m not quite confident in speaking while painting, so I’m focusing on explaining things through writing. Once I’ve managed to cover all my expenses, I’ll take care of the editing part😊 Thank you ❣️

[@AaronJDaigle]

I’d love to “just press record.” But your boy gotta move the sofas, prop the lighting against the coffee table, Jimmy rig the mic into the old iPhone lighting port, close the blinds, grab the chair from the kitchen table… come on Sean, you know about that struggle 😂

[@ryacky]

I would highly encourage you to find a space in your house that you can dedicate to making the videos and have it setup so you can start filming in under three minutes.

[@CharlonClarke]

I feel you on that! Especially if you have kids, you me time ends up being your recording time

[@centurybeta2112]

I agree. Editing is definitely a bottleneck, but very cathartic and enjoyable.

[@derekclacton]

5:15 Now he tells us… 🙄😂 But seriously, folks - some people are talkers, others writers. Yes, scripting videos can be very time consuming - especially if you’re making a long-form video but for some people (e.g. me) it’s 💯 essential. I’m yet to make a KZbin video but I’m in the process. Never intended to make long-form content (I rarely watch it). But that’s what’s happening! Writing, editing, rewriting … hours spent over days and weeks but I couldn’t make it all up on the fly and I need my presentation to be tightly focused. I’ve got a lot I need to say and it’s vital for me to not lose potential viewers due to me rambling on, which I know would happen if I didn’t prepare properly. I believe my idea is novel enough to make all the effort worthwhile, so I’m going to take as long as it takes to make it as good as possible. For me, that is. I’m a complete tech numpty - my IT skills are very limited - so the visuals are going to be very basic. But that’s where I need to draw the line - if I wait to get those how I would like them, I’d never finish the job… Anyway, if you’ve read this comment, I hope something I said will help you on your KZbin journey (despite me having 0️⃣ experience)! Oh, I can do emojis! 🙂 Do they count? 🤔🤞😉

[@ElectricRob]

Totally agree on the "not scripting word-for-word"!! I have an educational channel, and I only script the 1 or 2 sentence Hook. The rest of the body of the video is definitely just bullet points (mainly to teach things in a specific order, as well as to include certain "highlights" that I want to drive home). Great video showing video production timeline in a concise manner!

It would be great to get advice for the DIY/craft/cooking/gardening/homesteading niche, which are not usually talking head studio shots. Having to get weird angles while not splashing the phone or dropping it in into the project is hard!! And then to be sure to capture all the crucial steps too. I do all the filming myself as getting someone to help is not an option. For me, editing is the EASY part!!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Any suggestions on companies to outsource video editing?

[@junglefrancais]

I understand very well that's better to fine the title first... but my brain can't process like this. If I plan, I am just stuck... so, it's not the most effective, but I still improvise, and after I arrange the title and the description in a SEO way. Not the best, but it's better to do something, than being stuck ! I hope I say this because I am learning now, maybe when I will be really comfortable with making videos, maybe I'll be able to process it this way. But, I am 47, and it has always been like that, if I don't improvise, I am completely unhappy and doing things is painful. so... I do it my way, and let's see if it can function !

[@go_holiday]

I agree that outsourcing the video editing could be helpful. But as for scripting vs no scripting, it really depends on the type of video. If it's educational content and you're just sharing what you already inherently know, then sure. But if it's, say, a hotel review video, then that advice doesn't really hold because the info about the hotel doesn't intrinsically live in your head.

[@SuccessisTheGoal]

Editing is the largest amount of time I spend on each week. I have an editor for my 2nd channel and it helps, except that his proofs come an hour before the video needs to be posted. This is problematic and I've tried to communicate to him the need for at least 24 hours. Please communicate with your editor and stay on top of them to meet expected deadlines.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Very important! As an editor myself, communication is key

[@WillowsAIAcademy]

Spending 10hrs a week on editing 3:47 isn’t what everyone is having to do. Everyone’s video style is different and actually if it’s taking that long (for one video ?) then the planning stage needs to include how you minimise editing time.

[@appkeytechology]

Wait, what? You're saying that if someone watches a video due to an ad promotion push, that video watch minutes do not count? I'm asking because that same person may watch a different video within your channel tomorrow but those minutes do count.

[@PricelessSpits]

@@appkeytechology that’s exactly right. If someone clicks on your thumbnail from an ad promotion it does NOT go toward watch hours.

Great advice! My only question is: Why edit at all? If you plan properly, you shouldn't need any editing other than slapping on the intro.
