THE USEFUL PART

The promise and the video should match

Write the viewer’s question before the headline. Build an explanation that earns the viewer’s time, then make the title and thumbnail accurately describe that experience.

STEP 01

Choose one main question

Identify the viewer’s starting point and the task they should be able to complete after watching.

STEP 02

Make the proof visible

Use demonstrations, consistent examples, and clear labels. Remove detours that do not help answer the primary question.

STEP 03

Review in context

Keep traffic context, observation periods, qualitative feedback, and alternative explanations in the same review.

KEEP CONNECTING THE DOTS
