Writing Your Content

The process of writing your content might go something like this:

  1. Watch the video.
  2. Any time they say something that you want to comment about, pause the video and quickly write about it.
  3. After you've finished watching the video, shape your notes into a well-structured post.
  4. Put the video at the top. You can frame the post like you're saying to people, check out this great video, and here are my interpretations of it.
  5. Maybe find other videos on the same topic or related topics. Include those too and also write about them.
  6. Don't just always look for great videos that you agree with. Find some that you hate or disagree with. Getting fired up into "rant mode" gives you great writing energy. By the time you've finnished ranting you will have written hundreds of words.

Another solid idea.

Of course ensure any credit is given to the video creator.

Cheers Marcus.

That's an interesting point, actually. I would say it's not essential as the video itself acts as the credit. As long as you are embedding their original video rather than downloading it and uploading it to your own YouTube channel, I think it should be fine. If people are interested in the person who created the video they can click through.

But if you want to give an additional link that's up to you.

As for distinguishing it as not being my own video, I would probably make that clear as part of my text anyway.
