Few weeks back I picked up a fun book called “Go ask Austen” from Bahrisons. The book is a culmination of several famous one-liners from Jane Austen books, followed with a one-line explanation of those sentences.
Except, in most cases, those one-line explanations are doing nothing to supplement the main quote. What those one-liners are doing, instead, is assuming every reader has read the above text, and is then giving super contextual answers.
Why it is not a great choice? Because the numero uno rule of every content piece is assuming this is the only content piece your audience is consuming. Be it a video or a book. Even if it is a book on lessons from other books. And then make it whole in itself.
This shows you care for the customer and their experience, and nothing in the world is more important than that.
Thus, to have the right perspective is all you need.
Think of your customer first. All of the time.
