So to summarize this video: -strip and TWIST the wire -get a solid connection that will hold still while soldering (I use the 90 degree bend method) -make sure your components are hot so the solder will stick -don't hold the iron to the component too long or you can burn it out. -a good solder joint will be shiny, and will be stronger than your wire or the component you soldered to. test this to make sure!
