  1. Fast, Bad, Wrong (FBR)
  
  We all have unfair advantages that we can tap into.
  
  Most of us let perfectionism creep in before we even get started with filming videos.
  
  My best advice is to outline the 5-7 points you want to talk about super quickly and refine the script later.

  2. Adding A-roll and Voiceovers
  
  As you script your video, think about ways you can spice things up.
  
  When I first started YouTube, I recorded a bunch of random B-Roll clips in one sitting - flicking through books, scrolling on the iPad etc.
  
  I still use them to this day.

  "For a lot of topics, personal experience trumps everything. Not to knock creators, but by definition full time content creation gets in the way of having personal experiences that are worth writing about. "
  
  That also seems like a massive insight to me.

  11. YouTube is still a MASSIVE opportunity
  
  YouTube is constantly trying to help your videos find an audience. And the analytics are amazing – they basically tell you what viewers are searching for.
  
  If you make great videos and are data-driven, you can absolutely win YouTube.

  17. No one is keeping count
  
  Everyone is self-interested.
  
  If you're worried that people are going to think you're sharing too much, selling too hard, or repeating yourself – relax.
  
  No one is paying that close of attention.

  19. Restraint is a superpower
  
  Most creators give up or burn out because they are spread too thin. They said "yes" to too many ideas.
  
  If you're able to exercise restraint and focus on a tighter scope of commitments, you'll do deeper, more meaningful work.
  
  That stands out.

  7. You only need one product/service
  
  In the beginning, you only need ONE good product that serves your target customer.
  
  Instead of spending time making more PRODUCTS, spend your time making great FREE resources that attract more CUSTOMERS.
