He delegated scriptwriting first because it tired him most, got back a text that did not sound like him, and rewrote all of it. The task he should have delegated was somewhere else entirely.
· Say
He woke to forty thousand views on a video that usually gets nine hundred. He spent the day refreshing the page, and a week later it was over with nothing left but a number. A seven-day plan that turns the wave into an audience.
· Say
He spent two weeks on an idea he loved, published it, and nothing moved. The test that would have cost him ten minutes would have told him that before he started. Four cheap tests, and what to measure in each.
· Say
He started with his best idea, spent three weeks on it, and it came out at the level of his first week of skill. A plan for ten videos in order, and why you save your strongest ideas for the twelfth.
· Say
He wrote narration covering the film from start to finish, and ended up with a film that explains what your eye can see. Four jobs narration does, five places it must stay silent, and why you write it onto the picture rather than before it.

The man said "go ahead" in front of the camera, and seven months later asked for the video to be taken down. Eight items in a release anybody can understand, three forms of permission on the ground, and the rule for children that allows no slack.
· Say
He generated a thumbnail for a place he had actually travelled to, and a comment arrived: that is not a picture of the place. He lost something bigger than a click. The rule that settles every case, three different uses, and what gives a generated image away.
· Say
He accepted because the fee was good, and a month later he had filmed three times, delivered five versions, and received nothing. Five signs in the first message, three questions that settle it, and how to decline without burning the bridge.
· Say
He spent his whole budget on a faster processor, and playback still stuttered, because the problem was a slow drive and not enough memory. Five parts in order of importance, what is not worth your money, and when the computer is not the problem at all.
· Say
He opened the software, dragged the files in and started cutting straight away. Two hours later he had forty clips with camera filenames and a timeline that stalled on every scrub. Six things to do in ten minutes.
· Say
The picture looked sharp on the camera's small screen, and on the computer his eyes were soft and his ear was sharp. Six causes of softness, the difference between focus error and shake, and the locked manual focus rule.
· Say
Eight months replying to every message within an hour, then one week he did not open the app and a comment arrived: "you disappeared". Why closeness is not constant availability, three zones in your relationship, and four lines you announce once.
