Learning means understanding information that is provided. One can learn by watching, doing, reading, etc. To me, learning means processing information enough to teach it to another person.

I think I did pretty well on this section of my how-to-write guide. I tried to keep it nice and simple. I am just curious if I need to add anything or if I should expand on some ideas. If I were to do it should I make a new slide or add to this one?

Does the design on this page take away from the information?

For my created content, I plan to embed a video into my Google Slides. The video will be filmed and edited through TikTok and then downloaded so that I can put it my my HTWG. I understand that it is important to integrate my content into my guide rather than tag it on at the end. However, I am still not completely sure where in my guide I want the video to go. At the current moment I am thinking about filming one video and "cutting it up" into sections that correlate to the text that talks about that specific section (e.g. use a snippet of the beginning when discussing the best ways to start a video). I'm not sure how practical this is so feel free to share your thoughts!

Regarding content strategy on Youtube, I mainly learned about the importance of a few key aspects of content creation: consistency, relevance, and awareness. The three creators I analyzed had a firm understanding of the proclivities of their audiences, maintaining a parasocial dynamic in the fact that they and their audiences shared some interests, beliefs, and participation in certain discourse communities (outside of Youtube). With this awareness came an understanding of what was considered to be relevant in these circles, circles they shared with their audiences. These channels mainly cover film, TV, and media through a progressive lens, so any topics that were considered to be "hot" when they were drafting their videos were taken into consideration when designing the content, drafting the content, and presenting the content. Beyond topics, entire structures of video and media properties covered were chosen according to relevance, cementing the fact that ANYTHING trending in any capacity would lead to higher viewership and engagement.
