- Select a topic that you are familiar with, and have some knowledge about. You may also need to have an opinion about it, and some evidence to back it up.
- Jot down a list of main points that you want to focus on. This will allow you split your video up into sections, and give you a focus.
- Write a draft script that includes all these point. Don't press the backspace, unless you have misspelt a word and have OCD.
- Refine the script. Maybe read bits out loud and see how it sounds. Does it flow nicely? If not, re-write until there is a nice flow.
- Take your main points and script. Highlight the words that need to be inflected (emphasized) to help get your message, opinion or point across.
- Record!

If you do JennaMarbles style comedy but come up w/ writer's block. I'd highly suggest doing a search for "so-relatable," it's a Tumblr blog of ironic little problems people can relate to.

Now, I haven't actually made my own video yet using these steps, but I have used them to plan out the script for the one I am working on.
What do you think? Have I missed anything? How do you do it? Did it work?
