On the bright side, I've ample experience writing technical tutorials.
I started writing Ubuntu tutorials in Spanish for my blog, then slowed down a bit because of work; and just recently did a blog reboot (on New Year's eve!) and decided to start writing technical tutorials in English this time.
There is a lot of material I have in draft, but I'm trying to pump out whatever I can now that I'm taking a break from work.
What has helped me is taking notes while doing/researching something.
Some examples are:
Installing Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro, and configuring it properly so a PC user won't get frustrated with things like the HighDPI screen (font too small to read normally), or the swapped-out Alt and Cmd keys.
How to do proper Full Disk Encryption to have a drive for safe backup of sensitive information.
And, well, I have more. Will be crossposting here all the interesting material I can produce.
I am on Linux Ubuntu, so I record using Simple Screen Recorder, and I use Vokoscreen to get my webcam video on the screen, too. It's a bit hacky, but it works lol.
After I record I use KdenLive to edit. It's really easy to use so far, though I still have a long way to go before I can consider the videos high quality.
I use a Blue Yeti mic, though I'm still trying to get the hang of using it. Sometimes I'm too far from it, and in editing the videos I can hear how that reduced the quality of my sound =(
As for webcam, I'm using the cam on my laptop right now. I am still looking into a good camera that will work with Ubuntu. I definitely need one as the video quality on the webcam is not very good.
I will try and use OBS software for my next series. I think with that I can forgo using Vokoscreen to get my webcam video on the screencast.
It would be great if you post your tutorials again in English. I'm still quite new to Ubuntu, and I'm sure they would help me a lot.
I like the idea of taking notes while researching. I create a cheatsheet for every new thing I'm trying to learn and I tweak it all the time as needed. I refer to my cheatsheets all the time.
For a good HD camera, I can recommend this one: Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam, it works well in Ubuntu and Manjaro Linux. Quality is good, and includes audio capture too.

Thanks for commenting, Victor!

Excellent! Thanks for the advice. I'll check it out :)
I second that advice on the camera. I just got myself one of those.
Oh good! I ordered it pretty much right away and paid for the faster shipping :) thanks!
