Shift from “Review Channel” → “Opinion & Systems Channel”
Reviews require:
• Research
• Specs
• Comparison charts
• B-roll
• Timely publishing
Opinion videos require:
• You
• A camera
• A clear argument
And you’re very good at clear arguments.
Examples:
Instead of:
“Kindle Scribe vs Kobo Elipsa 2E Full Review”
Try:
“Why I Stopped Obsessing Over New eReaders”
Instead of:
“Top 5 Kindle Hacks”
Try:
“The Reading Setup I’d Build If I Started From Scratch”
These are still book tech.
But they’re idea-driven, not spec-driven.
Much lower production burden.

Your newsletter is about:
• Lessons
• Reflections
• Personal growth
• Systems
Your YouTube channel is about:
• Kindles
• eReaders
• Book tech
• Reading systems
Those can overlap without becoming the same thing.
For example:
Newsletter lesson:
“Why friction kills habits.”
Book tech video angle:
“Why Most People Stop Using Their Kindle (And How to Fix It).”
Same thinking. Different packaging.
Another:
Newsletter:
“Why environment shapes behavior.”
Video:
“My Minimal Kindle Setup That Makes Me Read Every Day.”
You don’t have to teach the book lesson directly.
You translate it into book tech application.
