How I Make My YouTube Videos

📚 Pre-order my book to get an exclusive ticket to The Feel-Good Productivity Annual Planning Workshop!

In this video, we're talking about the setup that makes my YouTube videos. We go through the camera, lens and monitor, and the lighting and audio equipment that makes my videos look pretty reasonable in terms of quality (if I do say so myself). I also give a quick tour of my desk and the stuff that's in the background. Enjoy xx

I'd love to see a video of how you plan out a video, from choosing a topic, planning the video, writing an outline/script, etc.

A doctor, a youtuber, a guitarist, a pianist... This guy is a beast!

I don’t even have the slightest intention to make videos, but I find this video weirdly entertaining. Perhaps it’s the high quality lightning, audio, and frame. ;)

[DerekZimmer]

Love the video! I’d definitely like to see more about your editing and workflow all the way through to publishing.
