I'd love to see one on some endgame principles. Have been enjoying the videos lately, keep it up 
What video lessons would help you to improve?
Sort:
a video about how to read your opponents moves would be great. often times, i tend to assume there's some clever plan that i am not seeing, and so i typically miss an opportunity to punish the mistake

I always run into trouble after the opening. When as far as I can tell, all of my pieces are protected and my opponent's pieces are all protected as well. I never know if I should just move a piece to provoke action, or just move an inconsequential piece to an inconsequential square just to avoid making a mistake and giving up material.
The only way to truly learn in my opinion is active learning. If you just see things on videos, You will forget it. You need to do physical things like find solutions by yourself. Sub 1000 players wont gain much from videos. I have seen some cool ideas in videos but have gained a lot more from sitting at a physical board with Silmans endgame course. Just my 2cents worth :) And regarding openings, Just google common plans for white and black in a given opening.

That's interesting and I suspect quite common. I often see beginners make what seem to be moves without a purpose. Would make a good lesson.

Maybe different people learn differently. I've purchased a bunch of video courses myself, and studied a load of YouTube videos. I'm confident those have helped me advance. I also have one of Silman's books, but find just reading the book (without a board in front of me) doesn't work at all.

People need exercises. This is where a coach will be very helpful. Most of us including myself don't even really know how to study chess. We just play through master games without really knowing what we should get from it. We don't know when we reach a critical moment in the game etc.

For this, I'd definitely recommend Gotham Chess's new series. There are only two videos up so far, but he'll be adding more: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBRObSmbZluTCoqlOg-3wEdlyRQLAJ2gs

How to understand so many types of things in the game being played, e.g. tactical and positional game, open/close/semi-open, to sacrifice early to open the lines to the opponents king, searching for fork and skewer opportunities, it gets overwhelming and I end up making 2-3 blunders in the game and losing
Would you like me to do an analysis of any of your games, and try to point out all these things?

Yes, please take a look if possible. I'm just a beginner though, so please try to suggest where should I improve upon and where am I going wrong

Great, I will do. And I'll be kind 
Hi guys, I'm looking for content ideas for my YouTube Channel, Chess Boot Camp, which aims to help beginners get beyond 1000 rating points ++.
So... what do you think would help you improve? Let me know and I'll see what I can do!
