Episode notes
Start by Immersing in Community
- Start your YouTube journey by immersing yourself in the community and understanding your audience deeply.
- Focus on quantity with your uploads initially to learn what works and overcome the fear of imperfection.
Use Time Blocks Daily
- Use your 30 minutes daily strategically: focus on title, thumbnail, scripting, filming, then editing sequentially each day.
- This planned approach leads to faster, more consistent video production.
Stop Overlearning, Focus Next Step
- Avoid overlearning by focusing only on mastering your next actionable step before consuming more content.
- Use a system like a digital shoebox to save unrelated content for later and minimize fear of missing out (FOMO).
