Here it is — my SUPER DETAILED YouTube strategy and content creation workflow. How to come up with ideas, my editing …
Creating content for YouTube can be a rewarding yet intricate process, requiring a streamlined workflow to ensure high-quality videos. My YouTube content creation journey begins with idea brainstorming, which often involves conducting keyword research to identify trending topics. I use tools like Google Trends and TubeBuddy to pinpoint what resonates with my audience. Once the topic is set, I script the video with a focus on engaging storytelling and valuable information.
After scripting, I move to the pre-production phase where I gather all necessary equipment—cameras, microphones, and lighting. I also prepare my recording space to ensure it is clean and free from distractions. Filming is done in segments to allow for multiple takes, ensuring the best possible footage.
Following filming, the post-production phase begins, which involves video editing using software like Adobe Premiere Pro. I add effects, transitions, and royalty-free music to enhance viewer engagement. This is also when I create custom thumbnails and draft engaging titles and descriptions optimized for SEO.
Uploading the video is the next step, where I focus on maximizing reach by strategically posting during peak hours. Promotion on social media platforms follows to extend the video’s reach.
Throughout this process, I often utilize eFrelance to outsource specialized tasks such as graphic design or advanced video editing, ensuring my content remains top-notch without stretching my resources too thin. This platform has proven invaluable by connecting me with skilled freelancers who can handle various aspects of content creation, allowing me to focus more on the strategic elements.

Until about 90 days ago I was able to overcome my fear of sharing my voice with the world and now I am implement theses steps you mentioned, providing valuable content, been consistent on creating content
Uffffff it took me years and years to be able to onboard on this journey
I totally get that the comments are very helpful when it's positive. It's very strong, gives us energy and helps us want to do more.
My first comment (Brother I think GOD has sent you to me) when the negative comments come in I'm not going to give my attention to it!
I know this online journey has changed your life and you have helped people change their life and that inspires me very impressively!
Yeah so for me most importantly I feel the habit of creating content is in place!
Now I want people to start interacting with my channel and I can't wait to hear from them which experiences they want help with!
My channel its about (Successful Lifestyle) I am very passionate about being the best we can be and going for the best version of yourself,
Hopefully soon I will have a huge audience that I can add massive valuable knowledge to and communicate with them in a way that inspires them to go implement and gain results in their life and change for the better and have moments of transformation in their life. I'll be very happy.

@ranerenshaw9090
this is the most informative YouTube video I have ever watched. At 24:00 with the heavy sigh right before thumbnails…. RELATABLE! that is exactly the point in every project where I realize there is a lot more to do here that I really thought but I am also going to be pissed if I don't do it right… lol *opens Keynote again
@ChaneyKari22
Thank you so much for your videos Latasha! Can you please go deeper into your content outlining process, and content filming days? You made a video about content tactics and I’m trying to grasp what that looks like better.
@cammy60467
Very helpful😊
@haleighhowland
I would love to learn editing from you.
@nahdinsabla
Can you recommend your most loved business books? I am an artist and sometimes business books, well they seem boring or too hard to follow like there is something I am missing and it should be obvious to me. I felt the same way about content creation online before I found your channel – which I am binging at the moment – finally someone that explains how to create online in a way that I understand 🙌🏽 so thank you for that!
@viviannzero4559
I would love to see a live edit with you 🥰🥰🥰I shrugge with editing (I love editing but it takes me forever lol)
@alexakirsch634
Hi Latasha, thank you for all your great insights and knowledge you are sharing.What I would be interested in is the following: You say you publish Videos on workdays (lets say 3-5 Videos a week) That means you bulk produce every week…for the upcoming week…right? I would love to get more insight s on your workflow on how to fill your content calendar specifically. E.g. For your customers. Do you leave them with the topics – how detailed do you fill their calendars for how many weeks in advance?
@melissalennox
This is so helpful, thank you!! The nuts and bolts of exactly how to film, light, edit etc is a lifesaver!
@dashanebrown9564
Lol I can’t be the only one that listens to the podcast and then watch the video to see what Latasha is talking about 😂😂

Are you currently offering your own Merchandise brand? Sent you a dm on Instagram regarding another subject.

@ByShaira
Thank you Latasha for sharing your workflow! Love, love the workflow. It helps a lot for productivity! Love your tattoo by the way! 😍
@thepraseedasreedharan
*My instant reaction* Is there only 1 like button ? ️❤️❤️ a 100 likes from me, Latasha. I wait for your videos, literally refreshing your channel page every day even when I know it is not your video day 😊 that’s how much I admire you. That's how much I learn from you.
**Answer to your Q**⁉ I edit my own videos (I use iMovies though) But it will be great to see a full-on EDITING VIDEO from you. There are still best practices that one can learn irrespective of the platform.
** My best take away from this episode** 🎁 Asana being a tool that I can give a shot + How to decide on titles using tubebuddy
@Financiallyfreeauthor
This is super helpful! I haven't really gotten going on YT yet and I'm nervous about being able to keep up with it so it's very inspiring to see you being consistent with it. And your voice is so beautiful I could listen to you all day
