My respect for youtubers just went 10x....
I thought making a youtube video would be simple. I was so wrong. after learning how to express my thoughts on LinkedInโฆI thought, cool, letโs try YouTube now. should be easy, right? sit. record. upload. done. But no one tells you about the war behind that thumbnail ๐
hereโs what I had to figure outโฆ in one week: 1. how to use OBS to record screen and camera together 2. lighting setup so ppl donโt squint looking at me 3. mic that doesnโt pick my lip sounds or my son singing APT 4. scriptwriting... coz rambling doesnโt work on camera 5. editing in capcut so ppl donโt die of boredom mid-demo 6. thumbnail design that makes ppl stop scrolling 7. title that tells exactly why this video matters 8. correct resolution everywhere or YouTube makes it look like 144p 9. upload settings that please the YouTube gods I felt like I was writing, directing, editing, and acting in a Netflix short ๐ต and just when i finally uploaded my first ever video... 30 seconds laterโฆ boom ๐ฃ โ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.โ I froze. what just happened? turns outโฆ I didnโt blur the screen showing fake phone numbers, emails, addresses (all AI-generated btw). YouTube didnโt care if it was fake. Policy is policy. so I took a deep breath, opened capcut again, blurred everything manually and finally re-uploaded. so here it isโฆ my very first YouTube video. (link is in the comment) Itโs a live demo of a voice agent I built for real estate agents, a virtual team member that can qualify leads, update CRM and help agents get more listingsโฆ without hiring extra staff.
