Hey, guys.
My name is Tim Schmoyer.
And it's Wednesday which means it's time
to give you guys some YouTube tips, ideas, suggestions,
advice, things like that just as we do every week here on Video
Creators.
I asked a whole bunch of creators,
what is your strategy for coming up
with creative ideas for video after video after video.
And I want to share with you guys their responses.
Here they are.
One of the best ways that we come up with new video ideas
and since we're a group channel, it always
helps to balance your ideas off of someone else in the group
or just anyone random.
It's really helpful because even if you don't start off
with a good idea, you build off each other's ideas.
So you can start with one, and then it gives you
an idea for something else.
And it really helps you build an idea.
I get inspired everywhere.
So I just, I keep a log in my phone, and when an idea sparks,
I put it in my phone.
And usually it's from someone else.
We're all inspired.
There's a saying that there's nothing new under the sun.
And so when I see something that inspires me,
I take that spark and I try and tweak it and make it different
and make it my own.
Something that I've learned I guess
is, first of all, listening to your fans and your followers,
but also listening to yourself.
And for me, one of the main things
that bothered me at the beginning
was the just vast amount of questions I got.
I couldn't get through them all.
And so I decided to do my Q&A's.
So every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, I tap
on a different social media outlet, whether it's
Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, whatever,
and it keeps those different social sites alive
because they know I'm on there every day.
And then it also gives me content.
It's like their ideas, their questions,
and I just source the ones I like and put out a video.
When I'm trying to come up with creative ideas for my channel,
I always try to do something that I enjoy, that I love.
That makes it easy to create content because I love cooking,
so of course I'm going to make cooking videos.
And I try to think of something--
what is somebody else going to enjoy to eat?
How can I make this enjoyable for somebody else?
Being a daily blogger, my life experiences is my content,
so doing fun things, going out and doing,
having new adventures every day is coming up with content
for my channel.
And so I try to think of fun things for me and the kids
to do that will result in a fun video for our audience.
I hope some of those responses were helpful for you guys.
For me personally here at Video Creators,
I've created turnkey systems that actually generate
content for me because I have learned
that if I leave it to myself, to say, oh man,
I gotta make three videos this week.
What am I going to talk about?
I guess it's really hard for me to just come up
with ideas on the fly.
So I have other systems in place that give me ideas.
It gives me content for these videos as always high quality,
I hope, and valuable, also I hope.
And I think they are.
It seems to be working that I don't spend a lot of time
trying to figure out what I'm going to talk about
in every single video.
Now I actually went into way more detail about those systems
and how you guys could develop some of your own systems
like that for generating content for your channel
in my course, 0 to 10,000 Subscribers in 12 Months.
It's basically just a behind the scenes look
at how I took this channel, Video Creators,
from zero subscribers to 10,000 in only one year.
And part that also is how I design
these turnkey systems to generate content for me
automatically.
So if you guys want to learn more about that course,
there's a link to it in the description below this video.
You can go check it out.
But I would also like to hear from you guys in the comments
below.
What's your strategy for coming up
with consistent, high quality, valuable content
for your subscribers, over and over and over and over again?
And for the rest of you, if you feel
like this is something you struggle with,
definitely read the comments down there.
I always learn a ton from the people
down there that share ideas with each other
and help each other out.
As creators, that would be awesome.
If this is your first time here, I
would love to have you subscribe.
Every Wednesday, we give you guys tips, ideas, suggestions,
advice, things like that just like we did here.
Tomorrow, on Thursdays, we do some YouTube Q&A with you guys.
And then on Tuesday, we take a look at the updates happening.
We need you to talk about what it means for us as creators.
I do all this guys because I really
believe that a lot of you guys have
messages that need to spread.
And I will do everything that I can
do to help you guys to grow your YouTube channels
and your audience this year, so people can easily
find you, become a part of your community,
and hear your message and have their lives be
changed as a result of the work that you're doing here.
So thank you so much guys for letting me be a part of that.
Subscribe, and I'll see you guys again tomorrow.
Bye.
