What I'm thinking when I'm making a video! Thumbs up! ~ twitter.com gplus.to @MarquesBrownlee @MKBHD
This video in the YouTube tips series focuses on generating better video ideas by aligning them with what the creator themselves would want to watch. Marques Brownlee begins by acknowledging that there is no single right method to improve every video, stressing that “different is good” and that personal taste shapes what works best. He suggests a practical approach: imagine what you would want to see in your own YouTube subscription feed, then craft content that matches that curiosity, explanation, or entertainment value. A central, concrete tip is to sleep on a finished project. After exporting and saving the video, he recommends leaving it closed and unattended for a full day, then returning to review it with fresh eyes. This pause helps reveal awkward pauses, places to say something differently, or small edits that can significantly improve pacing and clarity. He also encourages iterating on edits by keeping the project files, so changes can be made later if new ideas or improvements arise. In closing, Marques reiterates that the goal is to create videos that you would personally find good or entertaining, whether that’s a funny piece, a deeply researched explainer, or anything in between, and invites viewers to thumbs up the video to signal interest in continuing the series and exploring more topics in future episodes.
