You film how-to videos teaching knowledge workers how to design a calmer workday.
This is a YouTube teaching channel. You show knowledge workers how to design a calmer workday, as a repeating series (systems videos). You get paid when people watch (ads, once the channel qualifies), join as members, click affiliate links, or buy a small guide you wrote. A normal week is shoot, edit, publish a title that states the result, and answer comments. Plan on dozens of videos before this pays rent. A clear lesson beats lifestyle footage.
YouTube Partner Program: 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours before ads. A phone is enough; a lav + tripod is typically $40–80. First ad dollar is commonly 6–18 months (YouTube Help / Creator Academy).
Each required material has a matching shop listing — photo, price, and a way to add it to the cart.
Screencast
Screencast template pack
Screencast template pack. Cursor highlights, intro cards, and a screen-record preset for software demos. Files you import — not recording software itself.
B-roll
B-roll clip pack
A licensed pack of short B-roll clips (hands, streets, work surfaces) you can drop under a voiceover. Instant download. This is footage, not a camera.
Public examples matched to this path by what they actually publish — not endorsements, and not a claim they run this exact shop. Handles change. Verify before you write to anyone.
