Friend,

You’ve got something valuable to teach.

And you want to make a “how-to” video that’s actually helpful—not just another ramble-fest (or worse, snooze-fest!) on YouTube.

But then the overthinking kicks in…

Am I explaining this right? Do I need better lighting? A second camera angle? Should I be using my hands more? Or maybe I’m not using my hands enough? 🥴

Suddenly, what started as a simple tutorial idea feels like a complex production. 🎬

After filming 2000 videos on our channel, I can confidently share you don't need to worry about the perfect setup or the perfect explanation to film a great how-to video.

You just need a little strategy, a simple structure, and a few filming tricks that most people overlook.

For this week’s video, I’m showing you the exact process I use to film my own how-to videos. In other words, it’s a how-to on how to film a how-to 🤯. Watch as I film a Camtasia tutorial in real time.

You’ll learn step-by-step:

✅ How to plan your video so it’s clear and keeps people watching
✅ A few “obvious” filming tips that seriously improve your filming experience
✅ How to start and end your videos with the right hooks and call to action
✅ How to keep things engaging—even if you’re walking through something step-by-step

Whether you’re teaching a skill, sharing a framework, or breaking down your signature process, this will help you film how-to content that feels clear, helpful, and keeps your viewers hooked.
