How do I turn a YouTube video into a Substack newsletter edition?
Guidesyoutubesubstacknewsletter
Turn a YouTube video into a Substack newsletter by writing an essay that provides complete value to readers who will never click play on the video.
Write for readers, not viewers
Substack subscribers read on phones and in inbox clients. Long visual demonstrations must be translated into clear conceptual takeaways and step-by-step bullet points.
How to use it
- Paste the YouTube link. Provide any public YouTube video link with captions.
- Craft a curiosity-driven subject line. Promise a concrete outcome or perspective in the subject line.
- Structure the written essay. Organize the transcript into an intro, 3 lessons, and a conclusion.
- Embed the video last. Provide the video embed at the bottom for those who want visual demonstrations.
Frequently asked questions
