# Contributing a Video to the Valkey YouTube Channel

You are welcome to contribute a video for Valkey YouTube Channel.
The contribution model is lightweight, transparent, and uses well-understood open source processes.
Comment thread
pnbrown marked this conversation as resolved.

## Step 1: Ideation

The first step is to share your idea with the Valkey community through a GitHub issue.
In the issue articulate what topic you want to create a video about and a general overview.
The community will evaluate your idea to understand if it fits into the Valkey story on the Valkey YouTube page and doesn’t overlap with existing or in-process content.
The maintainers will provide feedback as needed.

Strictly speaking, you can forego this step and contribute a video directly as a pull request.
However, if you don’t get the feedback from the community, you run the risk of doing work that doesn’t translate efficiently (or at all) into a video.

## Step 2: Creating the Video

A few video tips:

1. It may be helpful to create a script, write up, treatment, or description to share with the community before making the video
2. Highly technical is fine but understand that the Valkey YouTube Channel is watched by a variety of skill levels: the best posts make complex topics easy to understand.
3. The Valkey YouTube Channel is not a commercial space; you can talk about services and products as long as a) you’re not actively selling/promoting and b) the subject matter is directly related to the use of Valkey.
1. Acceptable Example: A video that describes the lessons learned about operating Valkey at scale gleaned from a Valkey service provider.
2. Unacceptable Example: A video that describes the advantages of running Valkey through a specific service.
4. Talk about Valkey. There are a ton of things to say about Valkey without venturing into comparisons with other products and projects.
5. Have a call-to-action. What do you want your viewers to do next after they finish your video? The call-to-action can be something like asking a user to contribute, try some sample code, or come to an event. You can even just invite viewers to consume related content.

## Step 3: Write about the video

Videos on YouTube need to have a description.

You may opt to add a bio about whoever is creating the video.
The bio should be 1-2 paragraphs in length and should tell the viewer who you are.
Additionally, use the space to link yourself to the community: what makes you a person the viewer should watch and spend time on.

## Step 4: From creation to publishing

After your video is made, the content moderators will review the post.
They may have feedback for you and ask you to make changes.
Once everyone is satisfied with the post, the YouTube admins upload it to the YouTube Channel
