How to Get Started

PLANNING YOUR TUTORIAL (1 hour)
  1. Choose your topic: What can you teach? Pick something you know well, others want to learn
  2. Define your audience: Beginners? Intermediate? Understanding audience determines depth and pace
  3. Outline the steps: Break process into clear, logical steps - write them down first
  4. Gather materials: Screenshots, examples, tools needed - prepare everything before recording/writing
CREATING VIDEO TUTORIALS (1-2 hours)
  1. Record your screen: Use OBS (free) for screen recording, or built-in tools (QuickTime on Mac)
  2. Add narration: Explain what you're doing, why you're doing it - speak clearly, at moderate pace
  3. Edit for clarity: Remove mistakes, long pauses, add text overlays for key points
  4. Keep it focused: One tutorial = one task. Don't try to cover everything at once
CREATING WRITTEN TUTORIALS (1 hour)
  1. Write step-by-step: Number each step, be specific, assume reader knows nothing
  2. Add visuals: Screenshots, diagrams, GIFs - visual aids make tutorials much clearer
  3. Test your tutorial: Follow your own steps - if you get stuck, readers will too
  4. Format clearly: Use headings, bullet points, code blocks - make it scannable
POLISH & SHARE
  1. Get feedback: Have someone follow your tutorial, see where they get confused
  2. Improve based on feedback: Clarify confusing steps, add missing information
  3. Share your tutorial: Post on YouTube, Medium, your blog, or tutorial platforms
  4. Engage with learners: Answer questions, update tutorial based on feedback
