Step 1: List What You Know
| Area | Prompts |
|---|---|
| Work | What do colleagues ask you for help with? |
| Hobbies | What could you teach a beginner? |
| Place | What do visitors not know about your city? |
| Life events | What did you figure out the hard way? |
Step 2: Turn Experiences Into Videos
- A mistake becomes "What I wish I knew before…"
- A routine becomes "How I do X every week"
- A project becomes a before-and-after
- A question from a friend becomes a tutorial
Step 3: Filter the List
- Would a stranger find it useful?
- Can you show it, not just say it?
- Are people searching for it?
- Can you make several related videos?
- Are you comfortable sharing it?
- Does it respect others' privacy?
