Life has been busy and I took a short break from social media, but I’m getting back into it with some new ideas. I’m a mechanic content creator on YouTube and I’m trying to move away from mostly AI voiceover shorts into more long-form “authority” style content explaining how things work (engines, AWD systems, maintenance, etc). I just bought a new car so some content will be around that specific niche too. The biggest challenge I run into is the editing and visuals. Writing the script and explaining concepts is the easy part for me, but finding B-roll, animations, or clips to match everything I’m talking about can get tedious compared to just editing a short. For those of you who edit long-form content: How do you approach visuals for educational videos when you don’t have footage for everything? I don't always have time (or money) to buy things or do things on the cars to film myself. I typically do the script first and build the visuals around it, but making the information the focus instead of crazy editing. Do you mostly: - Pull B-roll from YouTube and transform it (this is what I usually do) - Use stock footage libraries - Create diagrams / motion graphics - Or build a reusable B-roll library? My upcoming content idea is buying an action camera and mic to just do POV drives to talk about anything while driving. Would love to hear how you guys approach this.

I have a VERY blunt question, friends. What would you pay for? 🤷‍♂️ As I restructure and develop this community into a fully paid community that acts as an extension of my public-facing social media platforms... I want to know what YOU, my current members, would consider substantial value to consider paying for monthly / annually. 👉 This my CURRENT OFFER (see picture below as well) 👇 Please share with me your honest thoughts and what you would consider "more than enough value" to consider paying $50+ / month.

I decided to take my "Live Call" time to record a little "work with me" session. Want more of these? Want to jump on lives with me to do work sessions like these? 🤷‍♂️

If anybody is kind enough to watch a portion of it, to see if I'm on the right track. And maybe if any of it taught you something new! This style of video is leading towards my Skool content also. Plus repurposing it for reels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EvVQNvpE8M&t=1s

I gotta call out my man @Hogan Randell for a second here. He is officially the only MASTER CHIEF in the Fight Club (check the leaderboards), AND he's been an exemplary member as of late! 👏 He: - participates on the calls - posts content to share & review - engages with other people's posts - consumes classroom material - is sexy So PSA for today... be like Hogan 😏 Go check out his community, THE MECHANIC MINDSET, here on Skool if you're into all things cars! 🚘 🚨 AND connect with his socials: INSTAGRAM YOUTUBE
