What games do you play?
NL10
I don't know of any videos really going over all of that. I listed some video producers below that should help you find high frequency exploits. From what I remember they are good at adjusting to common leaks and use proper aggression.
If zoom you can look at old Ishter/Cameron videos or newer Dekkers videos. They have a strong grasp at common leaks you will find in players at lower stakes zoom. Henry Lister maybe too but I don't have a good sense for how relevant his videos are for 10nl zoom.
Maybe some of the Sauce 50nl and 25nl videos for reg tables (even though he plays zoom). Importance of building pot with strong ranges will help a lot at 10nl reg tables.
Recent Tyler Forrester videos maybe. He doesn't tend to overcomplicate mixed strategies, so should be reasonable for lower stakes. Tendencies are a lot the same at 200nl and 500nl reg tables on US sites, but just way more extreme at 10nl.
I'd stay away from coaches that get very theoretical like Steven Paul (or at least from a few years ago) or high stakes videos from Sauce, PSek1 or Clanty. That's more for when you play a bit higher, work with solvers a bit and have read some theory books in my opinion.
In general, learn to find all pure 3bets in monker type sims. This will hugely boost win rate and red line. Playing preflop guru against opens is useful practice. Also, make sure you find all opens from CO, BTN and SB.
Maybe that can get you started. Red line is very general thing so answer gets general.
Improving the red line is astonishingly easy: don't fold.
Seriously, don't care about red line. That's nonsense. Care about green line. That consists of red and blue line. Especially in the micro stakes it's close to impossible and most likely not even optimal to have a "stable" red line.

Before you look to improve that line, what are you blue and green lines doing?
One thing you have to realize is that many of the calls you get down in the smaller stakes turn into folds as you move up. So, when you bet top set and they pay off with 2nd pair, which line do you want that bet to hit? In this case, we don't want them to fold. Now, look at it from the other side, we know they call too much so should we bluff more often or less often when we are getting called more often?
The redline is a measure of how many folds you get. In a pool that pays off to much, the focus should be on finding the value betting threshold (perhaps you should be value betting thinner). By value betting thinner, you are going to accomplish two things: they are going to fold more and you are likely to still get paid off often enough with worse to offset the times you take blue line hits by value cutting yourself.
Both Kalupso and BigFiszh make great points too,
Thats a misconception that a micro/low stakes pool is overcalling. In some spots that is true like in BB vs EP spots. Most of the time this pool is massively overfolding to aggression, especially in broken lines but even in non broken lines.
On the opposite when you face aggression you have to overfold in non broken lines.
ok ok :)
