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 LinkedIn…I thought, cool, let’s try YouTube now. should be easy, right?

sit. record. upload. done.

But no one tells you about the war behind that thumbnail 😅

here’s what I had to figure out… in one week:

1. how to use OBS to record screen and camera together

2. lighting setup so ppl don’t squint looking at me

3. mic that doesn’t pick my lip sounds or my son singing APT

4. scriptwriting... coz rambling doesn’t work on camera

5. editing in capcut so ppl don’t 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 😵

and just when i finally uploaded my first ever video...

30 seconds later… boom 💣

“𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.”

I froze. what just happened?

turns out… I didn’t blur the screen showing fake phone numbers, emails, addresses (all AI-generated btw).

YouTube didn’t 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 is… my very first YouTube video. (link is in the comment)

It’s 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 listings… without hiring extra staff.

"𝗻𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘇𝘇𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝘀𝗲-𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗥𝗢𝗜"
