Intro
This protocol shows how to turn one idea into a weekly “pillar” piece of content: a YouTube script that doubles as a blog article, newsletter, and short-form post. The system is built around contrarian takes — busting myths and flipping assumptions in tech, product, and design. It gives you a repeatable way to go from scanning the news, to drafting a script, to editing and publishing a video that gets seen. Use it as a weekly checklist to stay consistent and keep your content machine simple.
Step 1: Generate topical video ideas from the news feed
Step 2: Create a brain dump and shape the intro package
Step 3: Build the body of the script with story woven in
Step 4: Edit and produce the video
Step 5: Publish and promote
Summary
Follow these steps each week and you’ll always come out with one polished drop: a video with a sharp thesis, a script that’s funny but valuable, and a plan for editing and promotion so it doesn’t get lost. The process is lean enough to stick with, yet structured enough to avoid skipping key steps.
